Tips & Tricks
- There are two main ways to play this comp: 1) Vanguard Arbiter setup with Zoe duo; or 2) 6 Dark Star. Play whichever one you natural more units for and are closer to. If you have good Arbiter for Leona or Zoe, consider just playing around the Vanguards as it has a better midgame.
- God offerings that provide items are high priority if playing around the Vanguard version until you can fully itemize Leona, Mordekaiser, and Zoe.

Economy Strategy
2-Cost Reroll
- Level to 4 if you have upgrades and a good item to place on one of those upgrades.
- Level to 5, unless on 3 loss streak.
- Level to 6. Roll until stable. "Stable" changes depending on rank, items, augments, composition, and patch, but generally it involves 2-starring your desired 2-cost carry and a tank with items. Major divergence between elos: The lower your elo, the less upgrades you need to be "stable" and thus lower elo players should generally roll less than high elo players on 3-2.
- After your 3-2 rolldown, you should attempt to rebuild your economy to 50g.
- Once you reach 50g (it might be later than 3-5), start slow rolling down to ~52g each turn. Try to avoid rolling to exactly 50g as any unit you want to buy in shop will put you below 50g.
- If you are high HP relative to the lobby, continue slow rolling to 52g each turn. If you are lower HP, you should roll to hit your first 2-cost 3 star on 4-1 or 4-2. If you have to roll below 30g, your placement is usually capped at 3rd or 4th.
- If you are still high HP (70+), you can continue to slow roll. Otherwise, in the majority of cases, you should roll deep for your 3-stars here. If your HP is low, you can even go to 0 gold looking for your 3-stars. If you have your 3-stars and can afford to level to 7 with 10g+, do so.
- Level to 7 if you haven't already.
- Level to 8 as soon as possible. This may not happen until 5-5 or in some games, stage 6.
- Level to 9 whenever possible. This is rare, but can happen in the games you have a chance of winning.

Tip changed from This comp really needs an item augment on 3-2 to function well since it wants to fully itemize Mordekaiser and Leona as soon as possible. Mordekaiser can use Zoe utility items like Void Staff and Morello until you get a full set of Mordekaiser items. → God offerings that provide items are high priority if playing around the Vanguard version until you can fully itemize Leona, Mordekaiser, and Zoe.
Tip changed from This augment is still struggling in Patch 17.3 despite the Mordekaiser mana buff. → There are two main ways to play this comp: 1) Vanguard Arbiter setup with Zoe duo; or 2) 6 Dark Star. Play whichever one you natural more units for and are closer to. If you have good Arbiter for Leona or Zoe, consider just playing around the Vanguards as it has a better midgame.
Tip changed from This augment is terrible in Patch 17.2. But Leona is not terrible. If you genuinely want to play this, consider it a Leona comp more than it is a Mordekaiser hero comp. That means prioritize picking augments that make Leona stronger, not Mordekaiser. → This augment is still struggling in Patch 17.3 despite the Mordekaiser mana buff.
Tip changed from Item priority is Gargoyle on Leona > everything else, followed by Void Staff and Morello (you can put them on Mordekaiser before moving them to Zoe). This comp practically needs an item augment on 3-2 since it wants to itemize Leona first which is not traditional for hero augments → This comp really needs an item augment on 3-2 to function well since it wants to fully itemize Mordekaiser and Leona as soon as possible. Mordekaiser can use Zoe utility items like Void Staff and Morello until you get a full set of Mordekaiser items.
Removed Tip: God offerings that provide items are therefore high priority until you can fully itemize Leona, Mordekaiser, and Zoe.
Removed Tip: The best Arbiters are the ones that buff Leona. The two main options are gain max HP every 50 mana spent and every 4 seconds gain a % max HP shield. These are the best two Arbiters for the line and likely the only two that make it viable.

play this if you enjoy being contested by the entire lobby
i took gain max health per interest arbiter for leona, got contested by a leona/teemo player who held 6 mordes and still went 3rd place. not too bad ig.
i played the augment and got blighting jewel. Just played zoe with better items and morello, void and blighting on morde, felt like a way to make him slightly less dogshit
clicked the trait tree, got vanguard darkstar and rogue emblem, knew it’s a forst
This augment needs to be marked as the new P for plague tier. Dumb as anything ever released into this patch
Don´t believe this augment is exactly “Terrible”, played it a few times and placed always first, zoe is a great carry when you hit her a 3 Stars, not a great early or late, but insane mid game which you can take advantage of by getting winning streak.
