How to win lane as Mordekaiser against Kled · 51.43% win rate over 418 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Neither of you has a real all-in at 1 — he hasn't leveled Beartrap and your Darkness Rise aura isn't online, so it's an even farm lane. |
| Level 2 | Mordekaiser | Q + W online lets your single-target Obliterate and banked shield out-trade his short mounted skirmish and start chipping his Courage toward a dismount. |
| Level 3 | Mordekaiser | By 3 your single-target Q plus W heal beats his brief mounted trade, and dismounting him strips his all-in entirely. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | He can Joust (E) in and out to skirmish here, so the lane is even until your 6 — don't waste cooldowns chasing his dash. |
| Level 6 | Mordekaiser | Realm of Death isolates him from Skaarl, his W steroid, and his R gallop-engage — a clean 1v1 your aura and W sustain win. |
| First item | Mordekaiser | Your E mag-pen plus magic-pen first item makes the single-target Q chunk lethal, and W heals back his Violent Tendencies attack-speed chip. |
| Two+ items | Kled | At 2+ items his W attack-speed steroid and E + R re-engage outscale your flat mid-game — he reclaims the duel, so close the lane before then. |
"Level 1 is a wash — he hasn't put points in Beartrap yet and your Darkness Rise aura isn't online, so just farm and don't get yanked by a stray Q. Levels 2-3 are your window: mounted Kled wants to hook you with Beartrap (Q) and remount-burst with his Violent Tendencies (W) attack speed, so sidestep the hook, then drop Obliterate (Q) on him single-target for the bonus damage and a Darkness Rise proc. Every clean trade banks your W shield and pushes his Courage bar down — dismount him and he's a flimsy ranged poker with no all-in."
