Wukong vs Mordekaiser Counter Pick

The usual Wukong advantage disappears immediately, because Mordekaiser also attacks from 175 units and there is no spacing edge left to build a laning plan around. Resources tilt the long fight the same way: Mordekaiser runs on Shield rather than mana, so extended trades never price him out, while Wukong’s mana pool does deplete. Darkness Rise switches on after three attacks or spells against champions or monsters, adding a damage aura and move speed; Indestructible banks damage dealt and taken into a shield he can convert into healing; Realm of Death removes the duel from the map entirely and steals a portion of Wukong’s stats, keeping them on a kill. The recorded result is 43.7% for Wukong over 277 games on patch 16.13.1.

All of that damage is magic, which is the specific problem for Stone Skin: the passive stacks armor and maximum health regeneration during fights, and armor is not the resistance under attack. Wukong’s 28 base magic resist against Mordekaiser’s 32 sets the early buy, and 110.9 armor at level 18 contributes almost nothing. What remains is Crushing Blow‘s shred against 37 base armor, 66 base attack damage against 61, and 340 move speed against 335 to choose the moment. The clone from Warrior Trickster is the cleanest way to waste Obliterate, which hits hardest on a single target. More on Mordekaiser.
