Mordekaiser vs Aurora

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Mordekaiser aims to control the lane through medium pressure and extended trades, forcing Aurora into unfavorable fights inside his passive range.
Focus on denying Aurora a calm scaling lane by using wave control and pull threat to set up isolated (Q) damage and (R) duels.

Trading pattern

Start trades by threatening or landing (E) to pull Aurora into your passive range and follow up with isolated (Q) for maximum damage.
Punish Aurora immediately after she uses (W) since she loses her quick escape tool.
Avoid extended trades if (E) is on cooldown or passive is not active, as Aurora can kite and burst you down.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) is on cooldown as your engage threat and trade control drop significantly.
Respect Aurora's level 6 ultimate window; avoid committing to fights without (R) or health/item advantage.
Watch for (W) usage; if she has it available, she can dodge your (E) and reposition, making trades riskier.

Early game

Use early wave control to keep the lane slow and threaten (E) pulls to punish Aurora's low range and dodgeable (E).
Avoid missing (E) as it significantly lowers your engage threat before level 6.
Prioritize hitting level 6 to unlock (R) for forced isolated duels where Aurora's mobility is less effective.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) after landing or threatening (E) to isolate Aurora and force duels she cannot kite.
After your first AP bruiser item, force longer trades where your sustained damage and shield healing outvalue Aurora's burst.
Respect Aurora's level 6 ultimate and first AP burst item spike by holding key defensive cooldowns and avoiding all-ins without (R) ready.

Win conditions

Use wave and (E) pressure to force extended trades and keep Aurora within your passive range.
At level 6, isolate Aurora with (R) to remove her mobility advantage and secure kills or summoner spells.
Maintain passive shield and healing with (W) to win sustained trades and transition into side lane duels or teamfights as a frontline threat.
