Mordekaiser Build Guide by Xivilai Anaxes

Excellent guide, i love playing champions like this aggressively and dont enjoy playng tanky, this guide is perfect for killing and winning lane, i havent lost a lane as morde in over 6 games now. just went 17/1/10 love it.

This build is the one were I have had my most sucess last night I just got a pentakill with it to good build man good build

BEST MORDE BUILD!

Nice guide but maybe include more situational items.

This is a really great guide! This made me want to get Mordekaiser since i first saw it, and i'm going to be getting him very soon! Thanks!

Good thing that I reached 20 votes, now all the jealous people too scared to vote with comment to vote on can now downvote so their own guides look good!

1. Don't use Mpen Quints, use AP.

2. Level up Q second.

3. If you want utility, go 9/10/11, not 9/0/21, the 9 points in defense are essential to any mordekaiser build.

4. Don't start regrowth pendant, either start Amplifying Tome + pots, or Boots of Speed + pots.

Regrowth is okay, but it doesn't actually do anything in lane, where as boots + pots or amp+pot actually makes your lane easier.

You don't even build it into anything.

5. You call heal bad.

6.

Morde does extremely poorly in top lane because he is forced to push in order to win trades, has no built in sustain mechanic, most tops can farm at tower, and he has no escapes from junglers.

7. You call solo alistar bad.

8. You call brand a hard lane, but ahri an easy one.

You also call fiora a hard counter, which is laughable.

That's my reasoning behind my downvote.

Interesting build. Havent seen too many lich mordes in game. Hell, dont think ive seen any :P but anyways, good, detailed guide, but dont go hating on heal mordekaiser. I almost always run heal ignite on morde cuz it all skills run on health, so healing lets you spam a little longer, and during the early game, you dont have spell vamp or ur ult, making you argument against it a little shakey. Especially in the early game, if u or your lane opponent decides to go all out, heal can make a really strong bait. But not taking flash does get me killed during ganks (if i cant take the double that is :D)

1. I prefer magic pen simply since I don't bother getting a void staff.

2. Q is useless around level 2 unless your enemy is stupid enough to stay near you.

3. If you're talking about Veteran's Scars, I think it foolish to consider 30hp "vital" to a build. Seriously, that's 1 siphon? 2 caster minion shots? You call this vital?

4. Regrowth is helpful against certain champs and is easily better for the less confident Morde's.

5. Heal is bad. Seriously. You're throwing a summoner spell for health you get from your shield or even from your ulti.

6. Regrowth is sustain enough. Granted my solo top choice was ages ago when people were whining about Morde being "underpowered (lol)"

7. Solo Alistar can't do anything against you unless you casually let him knock you into a tower.

8. Ok. You actually think Ahri is good against you? Seriously, I don't even do boots start and she's ****ing pathetic. Her Q costs so much mana it's funny and you can easily sidestep the damn thing. Brand however has an AoE attack that isn't a casual laugh to dodge which combines with his passive to be a decent threat. The only way Ahri can even get a decent amount of damage off on you is if you let her charm you. You are a ****ty player if you get hit by charm. But lets say she uses her ult to actually get charm off. Not being worthless paper, she's not going to get you in one round of spells. Right now she's in minions and you have your ulti, ignite and all your spells. You will simply step on her since she actually is paper.

9. Fiora is a solo top counter since you can't sit at a turret to farm unless she's ******ed. Unless they nerfed her after her release and I didn't notice since I never really bothered looking at patch notes that weren't really relevant.

Magic Pen is less damage than AP.

Q is your best farming tool next to E, it allows you to push, costs the same as W but does more, and allows you to

No, I'm talking about the 12 points of resistance combined with the health per level and 36 health at level 1. It's essential.

No, Regrowth is ****ty, and is only good for extremely confident mordekaiser's who know their character limits. Regrowth is less health regen than boots + 3 pots unless you are in lane for a very long time.

Heal is good versus hard lanes. Ignite is good against easy ones. That's how it is. If you're the one getting killed you take heal, if you're the one killing, you take ignite.

Regrowth is **** sustain. Solo top is a **** lane.

Alistar does a lot of damage and it's hard for you to meaningfully harass him.

Ahri's skillshots are far harder to dodge than Pillar of Flame, also, if an ahri builds glass cannon, they are ******ed. She has some of the best base damage in the game, and pretty mediocre scaling, her best build is Abyssal > Frozen Heart.

You don't even go top lane, that's why it's stupid. In Mid, you wreck her.
