Read from Mordekaiser's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Quinn.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 you have only Q and no aura — and with no real all-in either, you just farm even and set up your level-2 spike. |
| Level 2 | Mordekaiser | Q (Obliterate) plus a banked W shield out-trade her Harrier-empowered auto the moment she steps into CS range. |
| Level 3 | Mordekaiser | Q + W + the start of your Darkness Rise aura punish every last-hit she takes; her E Vault resets distance once, it doesn't stop the trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Mordekaiser | Darkness Rise comes online in extended fights and your W heal eats her burst — she must enter auto range to threaten you and loses that exchange. |
| Level 6 | Mordekaiser | Realm of Death isolates her in a ~7s 1v1 box with no roams, no over-wall kite and no team — you delete a squishy ranged champ there. |
| First item | Mordekaiser | Your Riftmaker/Liandry's + Sorc boots spike makes the E-pull-into-aura lethal before her Vault dash is back up — force the all-in now. |
| Two+ items | Quinn | She out-tempos you late: Behind Enemy Lines (R) lets her roam the map and kite your team, and you have no dash to chase, so she takes over once the lane closes. |
Level 1 is a wash — you have only Q and no Darkness Rise aura yet, so just farm and don't chase her around the wave (her Harrier mark and W move speed mean you'll never catch her). The lane flips at 2 and 3: once Obliterate (Q) and Indestructible (W) are up, every time she steps in to last-hit she eats a single-target Q smash and you bank shield off her pokes. Don't fling Q at the whole wave hoping to clip her — hold it for when she commits to an auto, and respect Vault (E, 12s): it dashes her over you, interrupts you and resets her distance, while the nearsight comes off Blinding Assault (Q) on 11s. Bait the Vault, then trade.
