| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Mordekaiser | Morde's Q burst and W shield own the level-1 trade. |
| Level 2 | Mordekaiser | At level 2 his shield uptime and ramping passive keep bullying you. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 gives you a skill window with your dash to poke and back. |
| Levels 4-5 | Mordekaiser | At level 4 he re-spikes and out-trades you with shield uptime. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even — his R realm versus your saved E and R to survive. |
| First item | Mordekaiser | His first-item shield spike keeps solo trades in his favour. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Late, a farmed Yone flips the death-realm and out-duels him. |
Mordekaiser bullies the early game: his Obliterate (Q) does heavy damage, Indestructible (W) shields him through your trades, and his Darkness Rise passive ramps the longer he sticks on you. Levels 1-2 are firmly his, so farm from range, never stand in his empowered Q circle, and refuse the extended fights that feed his passive. Short, disengaged trades only.
