How to win lane as Mordekaiser against Wukong · 50.57% win rate over 471 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Both of you are weak level 1 with one ability — farm with Q and don't chase his clone before your Q + W combo exists. |
| Level 2 | Mordekaiser | Your Q + W spike out-trades him before his Q armor-shred and bonus-AD stacking turn on — punish that window now. |
| Level 3 | Mordekaiser | Single-target Obliterate plus Indestructible shield beats a Wukong who hasn't stacked armor yet; trade while his W decoy is on cooldown. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Even window — Darkness Rise rewards your extended trades, but his E-dash and W clone let him break off before you grind him out. |
| Level 6 | Mordekaiser | Realm of Death isolates the real Wukong where his clone, spin, and dash can't bail him — your cleanest kill window. |
| First item | Mordekaiser | Your magic-damage item plus Sorcerer's Shoes and E's pen shred the armor he built against you — his juke buys nothing once the aura is on him. |
| Two+ items | Wukong | He out-scales you here: in teamfights his clone and E-dash slip your aura and his R can peel you, while your single-target R only catches one. |
"This is an even fight you bend with your level 2-3 spike. Once you have Q + W, single-target Obliterate poke and your Indestructible shield out-grind him before his Q armor-shred and passive bonus-AD stacking fully come online — so always angle Q to hit only him for the bonus damage and the extra Darkness Rise stack. The trick is his W: he can go invisible and leave a clone behind, so don't blow your E pull on a decoy or auto into a juke. Trade when his W is down — armor he hasn't built yet does nothing against your magic damage."
