In ''VideoGame/Legends of Runeterra'', Mordekaiser is a dual Noxus and Shadow Isles 7-mana 5/8 Champion with [[YouShallNotEvadeMe Challenger]] that kills up to two allies when played, and anytime you slay your own allies, you revive them. Once 15 allies have died (any ally with 5+ attack will count twice), Mordekaiser levels up, gaining +1/+1, and each time he attacks, you gain the ability to [[LifeDrain Drain]] 1 life point from the enemy Nexus every time you kill a unit. His Champion Spell is Mordekaiser's Realm of Death (10-mana Shadow Isles Slow spell that causes an ally to start a free attack Challenging the strongest enemy, and kills all other units).

In season 1 of ''Teamfight Tactics'', Mordekaiser is a Tier 1 Phantom Knight. With his ability, ''Obliterate'', he slams his mace forward, dealing damage to up to two foes in a line. He was removed in season 2. He returns in season 3 using his Dark Star Mordekaiser skin as a 2 cost Dark Star Vanguard. With his ''Indestructible'' ability, he gains a shield that absorbs damage. While the shield persists, he deals magic damage per second to all nearby enemies. He was removed in season 4. He returns in season 5 using his Infernal Mordekaiser skin as a Tier 4 Dragonslayer Legionnaire. His ability was changed to ''Infernal Rise'', which shields Mordekaiser based on his maximum health, increases his attack range by 1 hex, and causes his basic attacks to deal bonus magic damage for a few seconds. He was removed along with the Dragonslayer origin in the ''Dawn of Heroes'' mid-set update, returning in season 8 using his PROJECT: Mordekaiser skin as a Tier 5 [=LaserCorps=] Ace. With his ''Skylines'' ability, Mordekaiser transports all units on the board to his realm for a few seconds, where all enemies suffer a percent magic resistance shred for the duration. He then slams a building down on the field, dealing magic damage to all enemies in a large area. He was initially removed in season 9, but returns using his base skin in the ''Horizonbound'' mid-set update as a Tier 4 Noxus Slayer. His ''God of Death'' ability is similar to his season 5 spell, though in this iteration the bonus magic damage component is a passive effect that is increased while his ability is active, and whenever Mordekaiser kills an enemy while empowered, he steals a percentage of their max health, attack damage, ability power, armor, and magic resistance for the rest of the round. In season 10, he uses his Pentakill Mordekaiser skin and is a Tier 3 Pentakill Sentinel. His ''Face-Melter'' ability grants him a shield and deals magic damage to adjacent enemies over a few seconds, dealing another burst of damage once the duration expires and granting Mordekaiser a stacking boost to attack damage, ability power, armor, and magic resist for the rest of combat each time an enemy is killed by the spell.

* CarryABigStick: Emphasis on ''[[{{BFS}} big]]''. He carries a mace to pulverize enemies with, and it's almost as huge as he is, which is saying something given [[LargeAndInCharge his own enormous size.]] In his Dragon Knight Mordekaiser and Old God Mordekaiser skins, he's more inclined to DropTheHammer instead.

Once 15 allies have died (any ally with 5+ attack will count twice), Mordekaiser levels up, gaining +1/+1; once he attacks, for the rest of the game, anytime you slay an enemy when you're attacking, you [[LifeDrain Drain]] 1 life point from the enemy Nexus.

* BadBoss: Fittingly enough for an EvilOverlord, Mordekaiser's core strategy in ''Legends of Runeterra'' involves getting your allies killed, (and indeed, he levels up when 15 of your own allies die, with each ally having 5+ power counting as two). Luckily, most of the allies associated with Mordekaiser tend to have the ''Deathless'' keyword, which makes things a tad easier to do as you recycle your own defeated allies.
