How to win lane as Mordekaiser against Lillia · 49.88% win rate over 11 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Neither of you has a level-1 all-in — she has no dash trade and you have no Darkness Rise aura up yet, so it's a coin-flip farm lane. |
| Level 2 | Mordekaiser | At 2 your Q + W combo lets you bank a shield and land the single-target Obliterate sweetspot for bonus damage and a Darkness Rise stack before her burn-kite ramps. |
| Level 3 | Mordekaiser | By 3 you out-trade her Blooming Blow bounce poke — E pulls her into Obliterate range and Darkness Rise starts grinding her down. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through 4-5 you stay even: you win any trade you can pin with E, but she safely chips you with her passive burn and Q poke when you can't. |
| Level 6 | Mordekaiser | Realm of Death is your spike — boxing her 1v1 deletes her terrain-and-move-speed kiting and your aura out-grinds her with no escape. |
| First item | Mordekaiser | Your first magic item plus the magic pen on Death's Grasp makes the E-into-Q-and-aura all-in lethal the moment she over-commits a Blooming Blow bounce. |
| Two+ items | Lillia | She out-scales you: full-AP Lillia kites on her stacking move speed, chips with her ramping passive burn, and her R sleep breaks your aura — so play for the early lead. |
"Lillia has no point-blank trade at level 1 either, so contest CS evenly and watch her Q (Blooming Blow) range — if she leans in to bounce it on you, she's stepped into your E (Death's Grasp) range. At 2 and especially 3 you have the real trade: bank a W shield, walk her down, and land the single-target sweetspot on Obliterate to start Darkness Rise. She has no dash to escape your E once you've pinned her, but the moment she gets move speed off her abilities she drifts out, so commit only when your E is up to reel her back."
