Mordekaiser Tips and Tricks
- Mordekaiser's spell kit makes him an excellent jungler since he can clear camps incredibly quick due to having: excellent sustain, high single target and AoE damage.
- Using Indestructible during jungle pathing can help heal you up a bit, even without stacks so make sure to use it whenever you are able to.
- Mordekaiser is able to duel most enemy junglers, even early on in the game. Use this to your advantage in order to harass them and steal their camps.
- Positioning yourself so that Obliterate hits just one enemy allows you to deal more damage to the big Krug/Wolf/Raptor while the AoE from Mordekaiser's Passive takes care of the rest.
- Mordekaiser can use Realm of Death to negate the enemy jungler's ability to attempt objective steals.
- Death's Grasp is the only spell Mordekaiser is able to use to pull off a gank so make sure it hits the desired target or that your laner has enough crowd-control to compensate.

Mordekaiser Jungle Pathing Guide
Jungle Pathing represents the choices jungle players make in regards to when and where to gank, invade or just path towards. It includes how camps and buffs are cleared between ganks, anticipating counterganks, and spotting opportunities for invading. Effective pathing requires deep understanding of your champion's abilities, their interactions, and how both team compositions play into those choices.
Full clear with a Red Buff start
The recommended jungle path for Mordekaiser starts at Red Buff with Obliterate for heavy single-target damage. At level two, take Death's Grasp and clear Krugs, with Raptors third. This grants you level three, unlocking Indestructible for extra sustain and healing. From there, path into Wolves, Gromp and Blue Buff to hit level four, upgrade Obliterate to then secure the Rift Scuttler. Mordekaiser's kit allows consistently healthy clears without relying on a leash, making this route safe and efficient.
An alternative start is Blue → Gromp → Wolves before moving to Red Buff. Another popular one is Raptors → Krugs → Red before moving to Blue Buff. Both variations work surprisingly well since Mordekaiser has both good single target and AoE clear even from level one.
Mordekaiser's early gank options are limited before level six, but he can punish long lanes with Death's Grasp. After clearing the Scuttler always look for mid-lane ganks or toplane fights where his damage can force flashes.
