Mordekaiser
GameplayMordekaiser is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities
- Applies spell damage if it hits one target and area damage to multiple targets.
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.
- Both casts count as ability activations for the purposes of on-cast effects such as Spellblade and stacking Force Pulse.
Ally Spirit
Enemy Spirit
- Realm of Death retains Mordekaiser's previous current health percentage when granting him a portion of the target's maximum health.
- Realm of Death will cancel and go on cooldown after its cast time if:
- The target is displacement immune, crowd control immune or protected by a spell shield.
- The target is a clone or Sion's Glory in Death.
- The target is
- If the target becomes untargetable, dies, or is too far away or no longer in sight during the cast time, this ability will cancel but does not go on cooldown nor pay its cost (if applicable).
- Realm of Death can be dispelled if:
- The target uses a cleansing effect, with the exceptions of Cleanse, Mikael's Blessing, and Kled's Dismount.
- Soul Unbound's recast is disabled while in the Realm of Death, but will cleanse it if somehow cast.
- Mordekaiser or the target cast another Realm of Death. The affected champions will remain stuck for the duration of the new circle.
- The target uses a
- Spell shield will not block the initial slow.
- If the target's health is lower than the amount that should be stolen, they will be brought down to 1 health. Mordekaiser will still get the usual amount of maximum health.
- Entering or leaving the Death Realm will cause all targeted projectiles to be destroyed.
- The transition in and out of the Death Realm doesn't interrupt channels.
- Grand Starfall will always be interrupted from the transition into the realm.
- The boundaries are not considered terrain ( Unstoppable Onslaught exception), and enemies that try to move out of the area will be displaced back inside.
- Dashes, blinks, displacements and other forms of movement will cap their effect range to the boundary. Targets will stop at the boundary even after it expired.
- Realm of Death will not be dispelled if either of the two affected champions enter resurrection after taking lethal damage. It is dispelled if the target enters a zombie state.
- Any active tether effects (both friendly and hostile ones) existing on either of the two champions entering the realm will be broken (unless the tether is between those two).
- Upon entering the realm, Mordekaiser and the target are cleansed from all forced action effects
- The cleanse will occur even if the source enters the realm.(bug)
- Unlike the other stats, Mordekaiser does not steal enemy total size; instead he gains 10% of his own size and reduces the enemy's size by 10% of theirs (all size modifiers stack additively).
- Mordekaiser grows in size over 0.25 seconds after successfully stealing his targets' stats, and shrinks over 0.25 seconds after the buff runs out again. The target shrinks over 0.25 seconds after their stats are stolen, but grows back to normal size instantly when the effect ends.
- Realm of Death's interactions with other elements/abilities:
- Multiple Death Realms (possible through a hijacked Realm of Death or if multiple Mordekaisers are in the same match) spawned will exist in the same dimension, allowing champions to see and interact with champions bound to other circles. Champions are only affected by their boundaries and are not able to see the others.
- Tahm Kench's Devour can carry a target outside of their circle, but they will be displaced back inside once Regurgitated.
- An active Cease and Desist on a target outside the perimeter will cause Vi to continue her charge until her circle ends. She can knock back and damage secondary targets multiple times.
- Structures exist in all realms at the same time. Turrets will behave normally as if all units were in the same realm.
- Hex-gates on Hextech Rift will not be present between realms.
- Brushes will maintain their presence between realms.
- Switching realms detaches all attached champions on either of the two champions entering the realm.
- Kayn's Umbral Trespass will cause him to detach immediately when Realm of Death ends.
- The allied health, resource, and ultimate indicators (champion portraits located on the screen) will not update between realms as the players have no vision of them.
- Camille's The Hextech Ultimatum, catching Draven's Spinning Axe, Ekko's Timewinder and Parallel Convergence, Malzahar's Null Zone, Maokai's Twisted Advance, Lulu's Pix, Pyke's Death from Below, Taliyah's Worked Grounds, Viktor's Gravity Field, Ziggs' Satchel Charge, and Rift Scuttler's Speed Shrine are exceptions and may still take effect between dimensions if the conditions are valid.
- Effects such as Requiem, Absolute Zero, Grand Starfall and Final Spark will only deal damage to enemies of the dimension they're in at time of cast. Ending the channel or cast time while inside another dimension will not do damage to nearby enemies.
- Any spawned terrain while in the Death Realm will remain inside until expired. They will not be destroyed.
- Akali's Shuriken Flip can be recast even if the target is in another realm.
- Kindred's Lamb's Respite is one of many area of effect abilities that will not take presence between realms.
- Malzahar's Void Shift dispels from the initial cast's slow, thus not being able to resist the Realm of Death with its crowd control immunity.
- Nocturne's Paranoia only applies nearsight to enemy champions in the same dimension as him.
- Orianna's Ball will snap back to her the moment she switches realms.
- The target of Devour will immediately leave Tahm Kench's belly when he enters or leaves the Realm of Death.
- Taliyah's Weaver's Wall is interrupted both for if she enters or leaves the Realm of Death.
- Urgot's Fear Beyond Death cannot be recast while the target is in a different dimension than him. If the target is being reeled in however, then the execution at the end of the channel will take place regardless of the dimension either he or the target is in.
- The fear upon a successful execution will occur in Urgot's realm.
- The fear upon a successful execution will occur in
- Viego's Mist Wraiths will spawn between realms. Harrowed Path will also take presence between realms.
- Xayah's Bladecaller cannot call Feathers between dimensions.
- Zed's Shadows will take presence between realms.
- Eye of the Herald and Teleport are disabled while in the Realm of Death.
- Controllable pets and decoys can still be commanded between realms.
- Jungle plants ( Blast Cone, Honeyfruit, Scryer's Bloom) will not take presence between realms.
- Multiple Death Realms (possible through a

- While in lane, Realm of Death is best used while the target is between you and your turret. This is so the target doesn't have much space to go towards their turret, since the area of the Death Realm is created in front of Mordekaiser, leaving little space to move behind him.
- Nexus Blitz differences edit
- When certain Events begin, both Mordekaiser and his target immediately leave the Death Realm.
Champion skins
- This article section only contains champion skins. For all associated collection items, see Mordekaiser (Collection).
Twice slain and thrice born, Mordekaiser is a brutal warlord from a foregone epoch who uses his necromantic sorcery to bind souls into an eternity of servitude. Few now remain who remember his earlier conquests, or know the true extent of his powers-- but there are some ancient souls that do, and they fear the day when he may return to claim dominion over both the living and the dead.
