Mordekaiser is an AP bruiser that is played in the Baron Lane. He is consistently strong throughout the game, his early game poke helps him in the laning phase, and his Realm of Death helps him carry teamfights in the late game. As a manaless champion he doesn't need to worry about running out of mana and doesn't need to buy mana items. This allows him to buy more damage or tank items be stronger during teamfights.
When Mordekaiser gets a takedown, or his basic abilities or attacks hit an enemy, he gains a stack for a few seconds. At three stacks, he cloaks himself in an energy field. The energy field deals magic damage per second and grants Mordekaiser movement speed.
The quickest way to get to 3 stacks is Death's Grasp and Obliterate into an auto attack. When Darkness Rise is active, Mordekaiser can use his basic abilities or attacks on an enemy to extend the duration.
Mordekaiser smashes the ground, dealing magic damage. The damage is increased when Mordekaiser hits only one enemy. This is especially important during the laning phase. Try not to hit minions when hitting enemy champions. Step to the side and only hit the enemy to deal increased damage.
Mordekaiser stores damage he deals and damage he takes. He can then activate Indestructible to gain the stored damage as a shield for a few seconds. The more damage he stores, the bigger the shield, meaning it's better to go into a fight, deal a lot of damage, and then activate the shield so he can resist even more damage.
Mordekaiser pulls an enemy in a direction, dealing magic damage and slowing them for a second. Most of the time, you will use this ability to pull enemies towards you.
However, you can use this ability in the opposite direction to push enemies away from you if you need to escape. Another cool technique is pulling enemies over a wall if they stand close enough. This can make it easier for your team to follow up.
Mordekaiser banishes an enemy champion into the Death Realm with him for a few seconds. During this period, Mordekaiser steals the target's core stats. If Mordekaiser kills the enemy in the Death Realm, he will keep the stolen stats until the enemy respawns.
It's vital to use Realm of Death when you have all other basic abilities available. You only have a limited time to kill the enemy so making sure you can deal the most damage possible will make a huge difference.
Mordekaiser is a flexible champion when it comes to the build. Depending on your playstyle, he can build both burst damage and tanky items. For me, the best way is to build a mixture of utility and tanky items to help him get closer to enemies. Rylai's Crystal Scepter is a perfect example of a utility item that helps with tankiness. The slows from Rylai's works with Mordekaiser's Darkness Rise, since this passive works as an AoE field around him, making it extremely difficult for enemies to escape.
With runes, we have the following:
As a fighter, Mordekaiser will be in the front dealing damage with his basic attacks, abilities, and even passive damage over time, which all help stack Conqueror. At max stacks, Conqueror's healing and damage will help Mordekaiser carry fights.
Nullifying Orb is the best option in this row. The extra shield when you drop low on HP can save your life.
Second Wind helps Mordekaiser heal up during the laning phase. This allows him to stay in the lane longer to collect more gold before going back to base.
Overgrowth allows Mordekaiser to gain permanent health throughout the game when nearby minions or monsters are killed. So the more Mordekaiser farms, pushes the lane, and kills minions, the more maximum health he will get.
One of Mordekaiser's main struggles will be dealing damage to tanks. With Giant Slayer, this will help him with this problem.
Even though Mordekaiser is strong during all phases of the game, his weakest will be during the laning phase. Use this time to farm minions and take trades with the enemies when in range to use Obliterate. Remember with Obliterate that you will do more damage to enemies if that's the only enemy you hit, so try to take fights away from the minions. Once you have reached level 5, you can look to roam and use his Realm of Death on an enemy to isolate them and get an advantage for your team
Mordekaiser is a great teamfight champion in the late game. You can start by dealing damage and fighting the enemy front line to stack his passive and Indestructible for a bigger shield. When in range of an enemy mid-lane or duo-lane champion, you can use your ultimate to isolate them into a one vs. one. Since you have already started stacking your passive and Indestructible, it's very difficult for the enemy to come out on top.
Overall Mordekaiser is a flexible champion that can fit multiple roles. He is excellent at isolating an enemy champion to help your team achieve victory.
