Damage
A picture is worth a thousand words

Utilities

1. Can gain lots of buff quickly.
2. Can block unblockable specials
3. Immune to passive aar
4. Soul barb - a) deals great damage per buff on opponent. Unique way of punishing buff.
b) reduces regen rate by 80% making mordo great regen counter
5. Great regen on sp3
PlayStyle

1. Against non buff champs
Heavy charge> intercept opponent's dash with sp1(you will reach sp1 very quickly on heavy charge) > watch out if opponent has specials active then let opponent use that. Repeat heavy charging and sp1 spamming.
You may sometimes throw sp3 for gaining 3 additional furies or a chance at great regen when on low health.

2. Against buff heavy champs or where regen needs to be controlled
Sp2> as much as heavy charge and intercepting opponents with sp1 possible till soul barb lasts>sp2 to activate soul barb. Repeat

Useful synergies
1. Terrax - really nice to have guaranteed evade on heavy charging (25s cooldwon) makes the gameplay lot easier and kinda reminds me of mr negative lol
2. Odin- thrudstok prefight for more fury damage

My r4 mordo takes ws a non buff champ with about 44 hits on average without the above synergies. With those 37 hit.

We don't always (if ever) agree, but, I absolutely agree and I enjoy using him quite a bit. Very good write up.

This is r4 6 star mordo, 4/55. And unawakened. Sigs add huge energy resistance to mordo while blocking. Probably highest in the game if max sigged.I will say even without awakening mordo is pretty much a beast, awakening is for extra benefit

Do you not have issues in late game from parrying or blocking? If i recall he has one of the lowest block proficiencys. His sig gives him amazing energy proficiency but against physical attackers i feel he would be squishy, thats why im asking

That special intercept by heavy charging is not a reliable thing bcoz Mordo doesn't have infinite heavy charging like Scorpion does
I have had to take a few hits on face bcoz of that
Even if u just throw Sp1 in block sometimes there's enough time for the defender to punish that

His energy resistance makes up for that and I guess energy attacks are the ones that does more block damage. I did against ws whose attacks are mostly physical. I got hit and got 2 bleeds from it,that's why it reduced to 88%.

Suppose say peni parker, check her block proficiency. Now tell me does her block sucks? Answer is no. When her sync shield is active she doesn't take any block damage.

Some champions have extremely low block proficiency but they are given some extra mechanics to balance that. Like sync shield for peni, highest energy resistance for mordo etc.

I use him a lot I don't feel much trouble blocking and taking damage.
Btw mine is unawakened so i am very much missing that huge energy resistance, I hope to get a dupe of mordo.

I have a awakened r3 Mordo. Debating to make him my first r4, his buff really flew under the radar. He's fun and hits hard.

phillgreen

I've always liked mordo, even pre buff he was ok as an attacker, in the right fights.

SammyDe

Wow, I pulled a 6* recently but also got Rintrah. Now I am thinking who to rank 2 first… I also got Mojo r1 and Maw r2 - all unduped. Any pointers? Feel like you guys know your mystics…

Also, Mordo is good option fo BG
