How to play it

✓

Ult only when W is down

Always check her W is on cooldown before you ult her: if her shroud is up she just stalls you inside your Death Realm and wastes it.

✓

Punish a wasted W

She's killable if she wastes her W to trade after level 6: that's your window to send her to the Death Realm while the shroud is on cooldown.

✓

Farm and survive

This is one of your hardest matchups: early game, focus entirely on farming and surviving rather than trading.

✕

Never ult her while her W is up: she'll just stall you inside your Death Realm and waste your ultimate.

Mordekaiser vs Akali in Top lane is a hard lane on patch 26.17. The one thing to respect: her W (Twilight Shroud) is what saves her, never send her to the Death Realm while it's up, or she stalls you inside your ult.
