Renekton vs Mordekaiser

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Renekton must leverage his early lane pressure and high fury trades to deny Mordekaiser a slow, extended trade setup.
Prioritize aggressive early wave control to prevent Mordekaiser from safely farming and scaling into mid game.

Trading pattern

Trade with high fury using (E) dash in, empowered (W) stun, (Q) heal, then second (E) to escape before Mordekaiser can retaliate.
Punish Mordekaiser immediately after he misses (E) pull by stepping forward for burst trades.
Avoid extended trades where Mordekaiser's passive and (W) shield healing outlast Renekton's burst damage.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) pull is off cooldown and he can isolate you for extended trades.
Avoid staying low health under wave pressure after Mordekaiser hits level 6 and activates (R).
Respect Mordekaiser's empowered (W) shield and healing during prolonged fights; do not overcommit when his shield is full.

Early game

Use level 3 power spike to execute full (E)+(W)+(Q) combos and force short trades before Mordekaiser can respond.
Avoid committing both (E) dashes forward without a clear exit path to prevent being locked down by (E) pull.
Stack fury before engaging and reset trades quickly to avoid extended fights where Mordekaiser’s passive and (W) shield heal excel.

Power spikes

At level 3, use full (E)+(W)+(Q) combo to pressure Mordekaiser and force him to play defensively.
At level 6, activate (R) to increase durability and convert short trades into decisive all-ins or dives.
Respect Mordekaiser's level 6 (R) isolation; avoid low health states and be ready to disengage or counter all-in when he activates it.

Win conditions

Snowball early lane advantage by stacking fury and executing empowered short trades to deny Mordekaiser farm and scaling.
Use (R) to force fights when Mordekaiser is already chipped or trapped under wave pressure.
Crash waves into Mordekaiser's turret and coordinate dives or skirmishes before he reaches mid-game power spikes.
