§ 07b — Advanced MechanicsMordekaiser: combos & tips Wild Rift

Main engage combo

3 AA

E for the pull and slow, Q for heavy damage, W for the shield, R to isolate.

All-in combo

3 AA

Q deals more damage if the enemy is alone — use this in the Realm of Death where it’s always 1v1.

Passive combo

1 AA

2 ability

3 AA

Darkness Rise (passive) activates after 3 hits. Chain auto-attacks to activate and maintain the AoE passive.

Mechanical Tips

Darkness Rise (passive): 3 hits (abilities + auto-attacks) activate a continuous magical AoE + movement speed. Maintain the stacks in combat for passive DPS.
Obliterate (Q): Damage is increased if only one enemy is hit. In Realm of Death (R) = always 1v1 = always gets the bonus. Use Q when the bonus is maximised.
Indestructible (W): Stores 30% of damage taken as a shield. Activate after taking damage for a larger shield. Do not activate before combat.
Death’s Grasp (E): pulls enemies towards Mordekaiser + slows them. Use to catch fleeing enemies or set up Q.
Realm of Death (R): Isolates the enemy in a 1v1. Steals the target’s stats for the duration. If Mordekaiser kills the enemy within the Realm, he retains the stolen stats until the enemy dies.

Common Mistakes

Use W before taking damage — you’ll lose the stored damage in exchange for a weak shield.
Use R on an enemy that Morde can’t kill on his own — leaving the Realm without a kill means you’ll lose your stats.
Do not stack the passive with auto-attacks — you’ll lose the passive AoE DPS.

Notable Interactions

R removes all summoner spells, active items and abilities for its duration — enemies cannot use Flash or Zhonya’s Hourglass whilst in the Realm.
Morde steals stats: if you use R on a tank with high armour/HP, Morde becomes just as tanky.
Grievous Wounds does not directly counter Morde — his sustain comes from the W shield, not the heal.
