Tips for Playing as Zilean with Mordekaiser
Time Warp is an effective way to enable allies to finish off enemies, or escape from a losing battle.
Chronoshift is a powerful deterrent to attacking your carries, but casting Chronoshift too early in a fight can cause the enemy to switch targets too soon, making it less effective.
You can combine the use of Time Bomb and Rewind to place two Time Bombs on a target quickly. Placing the second bomb will detonate the first and stun all nearby enemies.
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.
