Can someone tell me how to utilize Mordo in this way? I didn't know he could do that (he was r3 btw though). I just thought he was an annoying but manageable defender.
He's a bit high risk sometimes but it can pay off. Charging heavy to build furies cautiously at the start, then when you get close to a bar of power you can be a bit more aggressive. By the time you've got the SP1 ready to go you should be at 10+ Furies.
Charging heavy into specials is really quick so you can lure the defender in with a charging heavy and then cancel it out into an SP1. If you get the Stun, repeat straight away.
A relic is really useful, especially Ghost Rider. It gives you another option of cancelling out the heavy and has other benefits.
he’s great at special spam, solid damage plus you can pull off stunlocks with heavy charge-L1-heavy charge; his L2 is a massive soul barb so he melts opponents with lots of buffs and shuts down regen. L3 is meh but can get you regens when his health is low, which gives some sustain. Sig makes him extra tanky against energy attacks and lets him turn True buffs into Detonates. Astral Evade is mostly a defensive tool but comes in handy with nodes like Encroaching Stun.
Parry or charge heavy for a ton of furies. Use sp1 against non buff heavy defenders for degen, sp2 against buff heavy champs for soul barb. Sp3 grants even more furies as well as regeneration. He also has that astral evade safety net in case you get stunned

At least, that's how I play him aggressively.
