Pantheon vs Mordekaiser

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use Pantheon's early lane bully tools to pressure Mordekaiser and deny him a calm scaling lane.
Prioritize early empowered trades and wave control to snowball before Mordekaiser's mid-game isolation and sustain become threatening.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by stacking passive, stunning with (W), and following up with empowered (Q) burst.
Use (E) to block Mordekaiser's isolated (Q) damage or (E) pull retaliation during trades.
Punish Mordekaiser when he misses (E) pull by stepping forward for quick trades and wave pressure.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) pull is up and ready to set up his isolated (Q) damage.
Respect the threat window when Mordekaiser's passive is active, forcing you to stay in his damage zone.
Avoid extended trades when (E) is down, as Mordekaiser can punish your retaliation damage then.

Early game

Aggressively use empowered (Q) and (W) stun from level 2-3 to force favorable trades and build health advantage.
Avoid wasting (E) before Mordekaiser's main damage to block his retaliation effectively.
Crash waves after winning trades to create roam opportunities with (R) and deny Mordekaiser safe farming.

Power spikes

Level 2-3: Use empowered (Q), (W), and (E) to force early lane dominance and health leads.
Level 6: Crash waves and roam with (R) to impact other lanes before Mordekaiser can isolate you.
Respect Mordekaiser's level 6 (R) isolation; save mobility and defensive cooldowns to survive the realm.

Win conditions

Snowball by winning early empowered trades and crashing waves to deny Mordekaiser's scaling.
Use (W) stun and (E) damage block to control trades and force Mordekaiser out of lane priority.
Leverage (R) roam windows after level 6 to create map pressure and secure advantages before Mordekaiser scales.
