How to win lane as Fiora against Mordekaiser · 55.23% win rate over 641 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Both of you are fine but not dominant at 1 — he can't get bonus value off an isolated Q this early and you have no Bladework crit yet, so it's a farm-and-Vital-poke standoff. |
| Level 2 | Mordekaiser | His rank-2 isolated Obliterate plus W shield-and-heal out-trades you before Bladework is online, so this short window is genuinely his. |
| Level 3 | Fiora | With Q and E up you Lunge a side-Vital then land a guaranteed-crit second Vital — %max-HP true damage that punches through his MR and out-trades him. |
| Levels 4-5 | Mordekaiser | His W shield is thickest here and the isolated-Q slugfest is exactly the extended fight he wants, so respect the trade rather than feeding his sustain. |
| Level 6 | Fiora | Grand Challenge marks all four Vitals and the heal zone out-sustains his W — bait or parry his R cast and the all-in is yours. |
| First item | Fiora | Profane Hydra peaks your splitpush and your %max-HP true Vitals shred his HP-stacked, high-MR body faster than his W can refresh the shield. |
| Two+ items | Fiora | You out-scale him: the more HP and MR he stacks, the more your resistance-ignoring true-damage Vitals melt him, as long as you respect his R timer. |
Levels 1-2 are his, not yours — Morde's Obliterate (Q) does bonus damage when you're the only champion it hits, and his W shields and heals off the trade, so don't walk up to throw a Q he can just out-sustain. Last-hit with Lunge range and pull his Vital from the side, but accept you can't win the straight auto war until you have E. The moment you hit 3 and Bladework comes online the lane flips: Lunge a side-Vital, then land your guaranteed-crit second auto on the next Vital — that %max-HP true damage carves straight through his enormous MR and his stacked health.
