Stats and Stance:

• Mordex Base Stats: 6 Strength / 5 Defense / 7 Speed / 4 Dexterity
• Recommended Stance: Strength (+1 Strength, -1 Dexterity)
  • Reason: Mordex struggles to secure KOs, and extra Strength helps secure earlier kills. Dexterity is less important for his weapons.

Weapon Overview:

• Scythe: High mobility, hard to kill with, complex combos and dodge reads.
• Gauntlets: Easier to learn, great at building damage, high-pressure tool, some good KO potential.

Signature Breakdown:

Scythe Signatures:

• Neutral Sig: Best signature in Mordex’s kit. Fast, airborne, hard to punish, good for anti-airs and follow-ups from NLight.
• Side Sig: High damage, large hitbox, decent kill power. Still punishable.
• Down Sig: Trickiest Sig. Sends forward or backward depending on input. Great for edgeguarding and creating chaos. Use the backward version to throw enemies offstage.

Gauntlet Signatures:

• Neutral Sig: Hard to hit, very punishable. Strongest in terms of knockback but rarely optimal due to slow recovery.
• Side Sig: Mordex dashes forward with claws. Fast, mid-reward, punishable. Only use when you’re confident.
• Down Sig: Great for edgeguarding. Has two versions (upward and downward). Can spike opponents downward or launch them upward depending on input. Very useful but high risk.

Gameplay Tips:

General Mordex Strategy:

• Mordex excels at building damage with long strings and punishes.
• He struggles to kill, so rely on precise edgeguarding, confirms, and signature punishes.

Combos & Practice:

• Learn true combos for both Scythe and Gauntlets.
• Practice punishing landings and dodges.
• Check training mode or watch pro gameplay to refine execution.

Situational Tactics:

• Against Heavy Weapons: Build damage fast. Stay grounded and rely on Gauntlet strings.
• Against Floaty Players: Count their jumps and options (3 jumps, 1 dodge, 1 recovery).
• On Platform Maps: Mordex struggles here due to awkward combo follow-ups. Avoid chasing to platforms when possible.
• Edgeguarding: Wait for recovery/dodge to be used. Use DLight > Ground Pound or Side Air for punishes.

Key Moves to Master:

• Scythe: NLight, DLight, Side Light > Read
• Gauntlets: DLight > Side Air / Ground Pound, Side Light > Recovery, NLight for juggling

Playing Mordex in Ranked:

• Stay grounded, react to your opponent, and don’t overextend.
• Mordex punishes best when he plays patiently and reacts.
• Against passive players: chase and condition dodges.
• Against aggressive players: wait and punish.
