How to win lane as Lillia against Mordekaiser · 36.36% win rate over 11 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | You're both single-ability and weak at 1, so it's a Skill last-hit race — tip-of-Q farm and respect his E as the only thing that punishes a misstep. |
| Level 2 | Mordekaiser | At 2 his isolated-Q slam plus W shield out-trades your single Q sweetspot and heals through your fledgling Dream Dust burn. |
| Level 3 | Mordekaiser | With Q-W-E online he pulls you in and the isolated-bonus slam plus sustain wins any extended trade your DoT can't yet out-damage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Your full-rank Q sweetspot and compounding burn let you chip him as he walks up, but he can just W-shield the poke — genuinely even. |
| Level 6 | Mordekaiser | Realm of Death drags your squishy no-defensive-button frame into a stat-stealing 1v1 — his defining spike and your worst box. |
| First item | Mordekaiser | His first AP item plus W sustain still beats your skirmish before your own item burn comes fully online. |
| Two+ items | Lillia | Liandry's/Riftmaker percent-HP DoT plus your Q move speed finally lets you kite his cooldowns, refuse the isolated duel, and R-sleep to reclaim tempo. |
Level 1 you're both one-button, so just farm with the tip of Q from max range and refuse to walk forward — his only opener is E, and if it pulls you in he gets a free isolated-Q slam plus autos before your kite chain exists. By 2-3 he's online before you: his isolated Q does bonus damage when he's the only enemy near you and his W shields back whatever your Dream Dust ticks, so any extended trade he heals through. Use your Q hops purely to body-block or dodge the E pull, E-slow him if he steps up, and never stand inside the slow circle of his W zone — your burn can't out-pace his shield this early.
