Early game (levels 1–5)

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.
