During the most recent winter solstice - when no other night during the year is longer - a being like no other emerged from the forgotten alleyways of Noxus. Standing eight feet tall, and concealed within a razor-sharp armored shell, he came to be known only as Mordekaiser. The nature of what lies beneath his metallic carapace is a popular subject of speculation. Many allege that he is a mortal man with a heart that has hardened to iron. Others insist that he is a dark specimen of the undead. But there are some who whisper warnings that he is merely a foreshadowing of something terrible and unprecedented yet to come. Despite the public conjecture and curiosity, none have discovered what lies beneath his alloyed exterior. What is known is this: Mordekaiser arrived unannounced at the Institute one day and, with a rasp that crept ice up the spines of all within earshot, requested to join the League of Legends.
Upon glimpsing his fearful visage, most keep their distance, fortunately unaware that his touch bears a sinister scourge. Those who stumble within his grasp fall victim to incurable maladies. In fact, Mordeakiser seems mystically attuned to sickness, as if it feeds and comprises part of his chilling essence. He now stalks the slums of Noxus, drawn to the plague-ridden and diseased. However, there is something in his clever tactics, something in his noble stance, and something in the tone of his unearthly commands that has led many to believe that Mordekaiser is more than just a foot soldier. Some see the distinguishing characteristics of a general. While many have learned to accept the evidence of this unsettling possibility, a lingering questions keeps them wary at the witching hour: if Mordekaiser is a general, what nightmarish legion lurks at his command?
"The common perception is that the encompassing armor protects him, I fear that - for the fragile time being - it actually protects us." - Rozuel Fecirem, Arch Adjudicator, noted in Mordekaiser's eligibility evaluation

Here are some reasons why you can/should Mordekaiser as a tanky AP:
And here are some cons:
- the passive shield gives you some "extra" life
- your ultimate makes percentual damage and can be combined with
Deathfire Grasp
- Very tanky if well build
- you will farmout almost everone on solotop !!
And here are some cons:
- Not as strong as full AP Mordekaiser
- Unfortunatly no CC
Marks:
I decided to take
Greater Mark of Magic Penetration because they give me some nice magic pen.
Seals:

As Seals I took
Greater Seal of Armor to get some extra armor.
Glyphs:

For the Glyphs i took
Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist to get some bonus magic resist.
Armor and Magic Resist can be pretty cool in early games ;)
Quintessences:

Armor and Magic Resist can be pretty cool in early games ;)
And last but not least, I decided to take
Greater Quintessence of Ability Power for some extra AP in early game, which makes farming with Q and E easier.



"35% of the damage dealt from abilities is converted into a temporary shield, absorbing incoming damage. Shield generation is only half as effective against minions. Maximum shield strength is 90 + (30 x level). The shield decays by 3% per second."
So your maximum shield strength on lvl 18 is 90+(30x18) = 630. It's pretty cool in early game, because you dont loose life. You can also use it for tower dives if you wish (:


"On next hit, Mordekaiser swings his mace with such force that it echoes out, striking up to 3 additional nearby targets, dealing 80 / 110 / 140 / 170 / 200 (+1 per bonus attack damage) (+40% of ability power) magic damage. If the target is alone, the ability deals 132 / 181.5 / 231 / 280.5 / 330 (+1.65 per bonus attack damage) (+66% of ability power)."
This is a very powerfull spell against singular champions, but you can use it for farming against multiple targets too.


"Unleashes a protective cloud of metal shards to surround an ally or himself, increasing their armor and magic resistance by 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 and dealing 24 / 38 / 52 / 66 / 80 (+20% of ability power) damage per second to enemies in the cloud for 6 seconds.".
This can be pretty good in teamfight to get more armor and magic resistance. The damage will also recharge your shield.


"Mordekaiser damages enemies in a cone in front of him, dealing 70 / 115 / 160 / 205 / 250 (+60% of ability power) magic damage."
This will be your most important spell because it deals the most damage. Use it for farming and recharging your shield.


"Mordekaiser deals an initial 12 / 14.5 / 17 (+2% of ability power) % magic damage equal to that percentage of the target's maximum health and curses it for 10 seconds. During these 10 seconds, 1.2 / 1.45 / 1.7 (+2% of ability power) % magic damage equal to that percentage of the target's maximum health per second is dealt.
If the target dies while under the effect of the curse, their soul is enslaved and will follow Mordekaiser for 30 seconds. During this time, Mordekaiser gains 20% of their ability power, and attack damage. The spirit gains 75% of Mordekaiser's adjusted damage, ability power, and health totals.
Pets can be controlled by holding the alt key and using the right mouse button."
This is your hardest spell in game. Well placed, it is very strong. It deals percentual damage overtime. Try to "lasthit" especially ad carries, because their ghosts deal tons of damage (you can combine it with your

Skill Sequence is very easy when you play Morde. It's alwayse the same ^^
First max your E, then your Q and at last your W. Upgrade your R when you can.




I start with







After that I take

Kage's Lucky Pick
Kage's Lucky Pick is my next choice. This will give you some bonus gold over time. Its pretty cool, because you need both of them for your Late-Game-items.

Now I pick

After that could buy a second golditem



After that i buy


Now i convert



Now i finish my


Next I buy


As last I decided to buy


This item build is not perfect for every game! Some of your items may be bad in special situations. So here are some situational items i suggest:
Instead of using
Mercury's Treads it's better to buy
Ninja Tabi when most of the enemy champions scale on AD.
You can buy a
Thornmail in the same situation as described above ;)
Instead of Kage's Lucky Pick you can swap this with
Heart of Gold
You can also buy
Zhonya's Hourglass to get much AP and armor. The active is very good, when the whole enemy team tries to focus you ;)
Rabadon's Deathcap can be bought instead of
Deathfire Grasp when you like to have more AP.
Some people suggest
Guardian Angel for Mordekaiser, because it gives armor, magic resist and a cool passive effect that can revieve you. This passive is perfectly for your R because you cant control a champ that died to R after you died. But with
Guardian Angel you can control the ghost and make kills, but they can't kill you ;)

I decided to take
Ghost and
Ignite, but you can also use some of these:
With Ghost it's pretty easy to escape but you can als chase enemies (combine it with the slow of
Rylai's Crystal Scepter !). You can also use it to get on toplane faster after death.
Flash is almost the best summoner spell in the whole game. You can either use it to escape from a fight you'll lose or you can chase enemies that try to get away.
Teleport can be an alternative to
Ghost, because it's the fastest way to get back to toplane after death or recall. It's also good, to attack enemies in a teamfight from behind. Remember you can also teleport to Wards ! (For example you can teleport to your ward on top lane and gank together with the jungler, while the enemy tries to attack your tower)
Ignite can be used in different situations. You can use it to counter the heal effect of enemy champions, possible targets are
Dr. Mundo or
Vladimir. But you can also target squishys, that try to run aways. You can also secure firstblood with it.
Heal can be an alternative to
Ignite because gettin some heal in the right moment can decide a fight. It can also be used in teamfights to heal your teammates.



With Ghost it's pretty easy to escape but you can als chase enemies (combine it with the slow of













Mordekaiser is able to use both buffs in a good way.
The blue buff increases his amount of AP and his cooldownreduction. You can easily reach 40& cooldownreduction with
Randuin's Omen and the blue buff.
The red buff helps you with your lack of CC. you gain a small slow from redbuff, which can be important in teamfights.

The red buff helps you with your lack of CC. you gain a small slow from redbuff, which can be important in teamfights.
As playing an offtank/Tanky AP Morde, you shall try to initiate teamfights if there are no other good tanks in your team. Try to begin with a full shield and use
Randuin's Omen to counter the ad carry of the enemy. It's alwayse good when u use
Creeping Death at the beginning becaue it gives you some armor and magic resist and recovers your shield by doing areadamage. Use your Q and E to get up your shield again. Try to cast your R on ad carrys (their ghost are very strong!). Or use your
Deathfire Grasp to lower them. Remember to use
Ignite (squishy carrys or special champs(e.g.
Dr. Mundo or
Vladimir)) Remember, R and
Deathfire Grasp deal percentual damage!







Farming with Morde is one of the easiest things to do ^^
In early game just try to wait until some minions are low life and cast your E to get all of them. In late game you will be able to kill a whole wave of mimions with just E and Q.
Jungling is getting easier in mid-game but is hard in early game.
Morde's spells just cost health, so after
Regrowth Pendant or
Hextech Revolver you'll be able to spam Q, W and E as you like :D

This is a pretty awesome tactics :D
All you need is
Mordekaiser and
Yorick. Buy
Guardian Angel and
Zhonya's Hourglass for Mordekaiser. Now you all have to feed the enemy AD Carry (no other!) and after he has enaugh equipent. kil him in a teamfight, use Mordekaisers Ultimate and clone the ghost with yoricks ultimate .. and then push & win :D
All you need is




Here are some tips when you play Mordekaiser on Lane:
Children of the Grave is countered by
Quicksilver Sash! If your enemies bought that item, use your ultimate on him just to "last hit" him.
- Spell penetration is usually better than ability power.
- Do not get kited easily!
- "Best defense is offense" A full shield is often overlooked. You'll see which fights you will win and which not.
- Don't try to kill enemies on your own without
Rylai's Crystal Scepter or red buff, because they will easily escape from you.
Playing on Solotop is very chilly, because you play as midlane 1v1. But there is only one side where gankers can come from. So as you come back first, buy some ward and place it in the bush under the mid of the toplane. You dont have such good escape skills, because Mordehaiser has no CC. You can also buy a counterward if you know that the enemy has warded and you wanna make the gank easier for your jungler. Try to get most of the minion kills and hit the enemy with your E or Q if possible.
As you see, it can be pretty cool to play Mordekaiser as a tanky AP :D
