Mordekaiser controls a medium pressure lane focused on extended trades and isolating Aurelion Sol with (R).
Deny Aurelion Sol safe scaling by forcing fights before he completes key items and stacks his ultimate.
Trading pattern
Initiate trades by landing (E) to pull Aurelion Sol into your passive and isolated (Q) damage.
Extend trades only when your passive shield is active or (R) can isolate him for a forced duel.
Avoid trading if (E) is on cooldown or if Aurelion Sol can kite outside your passive range.
Danger windows
Be cautious when (E) is on cooldown, as your engage threat and kill potential drop significantly.
Avoid extended trades when your passive shield is down to reduce vulnerability to poke and counterattacks.
Watch for enemy jungler ganks during your all-in attempts or when pushing aggressively to force trades.
Early game
Use early levels to threaten (E) pulls and force Aurelion Sol to respect your all-in potential before level 6.
Avoid missing (E) as it drastically reduces your kill threat and trading power in the early lane.
Keep wave slow to maintain threat range for (E) and set up isolated (Q) hits.
Power spikes
Level 6 is a major spike; use (R) after landing or threatening (E) to force isolated duels Aurelion Sol struggles to escape.
First AP bruiser item improves your sustain and damage, enabling longer trades where you can keep passive active.
Respect Aurelion Sol's spike after completing Rylai's and stacking 75+ ultimate stacks by playing safer and avoiding extended trades.
Win conditions
Use wave control and (E) pressure to force extended trades where your passive and (Q) isolated damage excel.
At level 6, isolate Aurelion Sol with (R) to deny his mobility and team help, forcing favorable duels.
Deny Aurelion Sol's scaling by punishing him before he completes key items and ultimate stacks, maintaining lane dominance through sustained damage and survivability.
