Guide to Synergizing Vel'Koz and Mordekaiser

Tips for Playing as Vel'Koz with Mordekaiser

Be very careful about when to use Life Form Disintegration Ray. Many champions have abilities that can interrupt the spell.

Shooting Plasma Fission diagonally and splitting at maximum range allows you to hit opponents that are out of the range of the initial missile, but is more challenging to pull off.

When laning, use Void Rift to kill minions while building stacks of Organic Deconstruction on your opponent. You can then follow up with your other abilities.

Advice to Understand How Mordekaiser Will Play

Hitting multiple champions with the same ability can help quickly activate Darkness Rise.

Offense is your defense. Keep fighting to build up larger Indestructible shields.

Use Realm of Death on a low health enemy to guarantee the kill and keep their stats for the rest of a teamfight.
