Mordekaiser vs Wukong Counter Pick

Wukong enters the game with 28 magic resistance, the softest defensive number in his stat block, standing across from a champion whose damage is entirely magic. That single line explains much of the 56.7% Mordekaiser holds over 275 games on patch 16.13.1. Stone Skin stacks armor and health regeneration while he fights champions and monsters, which serves him well against most fighters and does very little here.

Reach is level at 175 units, and Wukong is the quicker champion at 340 against 335, but 610 base health rising to 2,293 leaves small margins. Crushing Blow extends his attack range, adds damage and shreds armor for a few seconds — again a stat Mordekaiser is not defending with. Nimbus Strike closes distance and Warrior Trickster turns him invisible while leaving a clone behind, and both tend to be spent as escapes once Darkness Rise is active.

Realm of Death is the decisive interaction. It targets a champion directly, so the clone does not absorb it, and Wukong is left alone with an opponent who has just taken a share of his stats. Cyclone is the counterplay worth building around: the knock-up interrupts an approach and the move speed it grants creates the exit before Indestructible converts stored damage into healing. Difficulty ratings of 3 and 4 keep the execution burden modest on both sides.
