Lethal Thresholds
- Mordekaiser Kill Range: Land the isolation read before she does, and fight away from walls to deny the stun half of her engage; without a lead banked, do not treat a late-game
Realm of Death
R – Realm of DeathMordekaiser drags his victim to a different dimension with him and steals a portion of their stats. If he kills them, he keeps the stats until the victim respawns. as an automatic win. - Camille Kill Range: Needs a wall nearby for Hookshot's stun and a scaled kit before a duel inside either ultimate favors her; late game is the one stretch where that duel turns in her favor even without a wall.
- Critical Levels: 3 (both trade kits complete, Hookshot's stun threat begins) / 6 (the isolation race between the two ultimates opens)
