League of Legends: Wild Rift Mordekaiser Guide: Gameplay Tips
Mordekaiser is a powerful fighter champion with great offensive and sustaining abilities that make him powerful enough to dominate against lone enemies. According to his gameplay, we can divide it into three sections, early game, mid-game, and late game. However, the Wild Rift’s map is mirrored, so it is necessary to understand the map side before laning.
Early Game
On spawning, purchase Ruby crystal as it’s one of the build paths to Plated Steelcap boots, then head off to the Solo lane. Whilst laning, always prioritize last-hitting minions with either basic attacks or using his Skill 1. Try as much to activate Mordekaiser’s passive ability by constantly harassing enemy champions with your skills or basic attacks.
Level up and unlock Mordekaiser’s third skill to pull enemies towards you and into the Negative energy field of your passive. To reap the best results from Mordekaiser’s second skill, always remember to recast the skill before the shield automatically gets deleted. That would mean losing out on the HP regen it offers.
Mid Game
In this phase of the game, Mordekaiser begins to shine as he can easily maim and isolate enemy champions using his ultimate ability. This ability is very powerful as it nerfs the damage and survival stats of the target enemy champion while adding it to Mordekaiser’s own. Thus giving Mordekaiser the edge in his Death realm.
While laning in this phase, do also ensure to clear out your minion waves before proceeding to rotate across lanes to help your teammates take down objectives. Whilst rotating, it is also advisable to prioritize maiming the enemy’s main ADC with your offensive skills and more importantly using the ultimate ability. Doing this would increasingly delay their farm especially if they get takedown.
Late Game
In this phase of the game, Mordekaiser is very powerful as he can not only deal lots of damage but he can also soak up lots more. Coupled with the sustain and regen from his second skill, he would be a really powerful ally, especially during teamfights.
As the main goal of the game is taking down the enemy’s nexus tower, do remember to assist your teammates in securing epic monsters like Baron Nashor and the Elder Dragons. Securing those monsters can hype up the pressure on the enemy team. Players can utilize the following combo to gain a stronghold on the battlefield:
Skill 3 + Skill 1 + Ult + Skill 1 + Skill 2
This combo helps to easily draw in enemies before drawing them into the Death Realm for a proper showdown.
Final Thoughts
Mordekaiser is a powerful new addition to the League of Legends: Wild Rift’s roster, whose gameplay demands him to be quite aggressive. He might not be the easiest hero to master but with constant practice, one can ace the game with him.
Nonetheless, do try out different builds and playstyles to see which works best for you. And don’t forget to enjoy the game in the process. Just enjoy the game!
