Twice slain and thrice born, Mordekaiser is a brutal warlord from a foregone epoch, who uses necromantic sorcery to bind souls into an eternity of servitude. Few now remain who remember his earlier conquest, or the true extent of his powers, but some ancient souls do, and they fear the day when he may return to claim dominion over both the living and the dead.
Mordekaiser is a terrifying phantom knight that truly dominates the top lane. With one of the highest play and win rates of all top laners, this recently reworked wrecking ball has proven to kick ass and take souls.
Today, we’re going to take a look at the best skins Riot has made for the Iron Revenant, and rank them based on popularity, price, and overall bad-assery.
5. King of Clubs Mordekaiser
Coming in at number five on our list is King of Clubs Mordekaiser. This version of the Iron Revenant features a golden version of him sitting at the throne accompanied by Syndra, Shaco, Ezreal, and Twisted Fate. Perfect for Mordekaiser players that want to reign in the top lane.
Pros
Very cool theme. Some of the best splash art for Mordekaiser.
Mordekaiser’s mace takes on a unique look as the playing card club suit.
This skin is a bargain, very cheap.
Cons
Unfortunately, this skin is pretty lackluster in-game.
The green particle effects from his mace clash visually with the golden color of his armor.
Lost potential on this skin, Mordekaiser’s armor is missing the ghostly features making him appear more human than phantom.
The price for this skin is 750 RP.
