Mordekaiser Top guide

Mordekaiser top is built around Obliterate (Q), Death's Grasp (E), and Realm of Death (R): land Obliterate for its bonus single-target damage, pull the target in with Death's Grasp so they can't walk away, then remove them from the fight entirely with Realm of Death while Darkness Rise (passive) builds from the exchange.

The build

Rune page: Conqueror, Triumph, Legend: Haste, and Last Stand (Precision), with Revitalize and Bone Plating (Resolve). Summoners: Flash and Ignite. Skill order opens Obliterate (Q), Death's Grasp (E), Indestructible (W), then maxes Obliterate (Q) first with Death's Grasp (E) second. Starter: Doran's Ring and two Health Potions, into Plated Steelcaps. Core build: Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Riftmaker, and Liandry's Torment, with Thornmail, Spirit Visage, and Bramble Vest as later options.

Ability mechanics

Obliterate (Q) smashes the ground for damage to every enemy struck, increased when it hits a single target. Indestructible (W) stores damage Mordekaiser deals and takes into a shield he can consume to heal. Death's Grasp (E) pulls all enemies in an area toward him. Realm of Death (R) drags its victim into a different dimension and steals a portion of their stats, keeping them if the victim dies there.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Yone, Aatrox, Garen, Shen, Sett. Best matchups: Renekton, Malphite, Darius.
