Mordekaiser is an S tier and one of the strongest ARAM picks. Distinguished by his ultimate, this champion can turn the 5v5 battlefield into a 1v1 showdown in the shadow realm. To make the greatest use of Morde’s potential, today we are gonna investigate the highest win rate Mordekaiser ARAM Build for season 14!
Best Mordekaiser ARAM Items
Riftmaker
The first item that we will equip to enhance our strength is the Rift Maker. Coupled with the Conqueror rune we will be taking, as well as with Morde’s built in passive, the item will wreak havoc in the long combat scenarios. For each second in combat with enemy champions, Rift Maker will give us 2% bonus damage, up to the point we reach 8% damage 4 seconds in.
Liandry’s Torment
Liandry’s Torment is truly an item that lives true to its name. Having it built on Mordekaiser will give us another source of burn damage. The item will scorch enemies for a percentage of their HP for each second they spend in combat. Alongside amazing damage buffs, the item will also increase our HP ever so slightly, allowing us to enjoy somewhat longer fights.
Spirit Visage
After laying our damage foundation with the previous two items, we can move on to building some resistance. Spirit Visage is a great item for providing us with HP, magic resist, and increased healing and shielding. The item will increase all our healing, and it will synergize pretty well with the Conqueror keystone we will be taking, as well as with our W shield.
Rylai’s Crystal Scepter
Rylai’s might as well be named as Rylai’s Torment, as the suffering it inflicts on the enemies is not much lesser than that inflicted by Liandry’s Torment. Rylai’s is a great utility item which will permanently slow our enemies once our passive is triggered, making it easy for us to have a much higher damage output.
Jak’Sho the Protean
To close off our build, we can build Jak’Sho the Protean. This amazing item will increase both magic resist and armor. Additionally, the item will give us additional resistances the longer we spend on combat. Due to Morde’s design, we are conditioned to spend a lot of time in combat anyway, thus, this item will be perfect for our champion and build.
Boots
Best boots for our build will be defensive ones. Depending on the enemy composition, we will be able to choose between Mercury Treads and Plated Steelcaps.
Runes for Mordekaiser in ARAM
- Conqueror
- Triumph
- Legend: Haste
- Last Stand
- Conditioning
- Revitalize
The best keystone rune for Morderkaiser in ARAM is none other than Conqueror. The rune will enhance us with much welcome bonus damage, as well as increased healing. We can follow it up with Triumph, which will synergize well with our Spirit Visage, and heal us after scoring a takedown.
Legend Haste is another highly beneficial rune, as it will give us great amounts of ability haste. Finally, we will also want to take Last Stand for bonus damage when we are low on HP, and Conditioning for some extra resistance stats.
Final Thoughts
Mordekaiser is one of the strongest ARAM picks currently, and he is even stronger when coupled with the correct build. The build that has the highest win rate is one featuring a couple burn items such as Rift Maker and Liandry’s Torment, and a couple of tankier items such as Spirit Visage and Jak’Sho the Protean. Such a build allows us to take extended trade, and win pretty much every skirmish.
