Win Condition
Fisher for picks with in the jungle or around objectives. Use to protect your primary carry from the enemy's most dangerous CC ability.
Playstyle
Morgana is a catch-focused utility support who specializes in neutralizing enemy playmakers. You are the ultimate 'no-fun' champion for the enemy, using long-duration roots and CC immunity to dictate the pace of the game.
Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths
- + has a massive 3-second root duration at max rank, making any hit a potential kill.
- + is the best anti-engage tool in the game, completely negating hooks and stuns.
- +Safe laning phase thanks to providing easy gold and wave manipulation.
- + allows for consistent sustain in lane, keeping you healthy without using many potions.
Weaknesses
- - is a slow projectile that is easy to dodge if fired from long range in vision.
- - has a very long cooldown (26s-18s); if it is baited out, your team is extremely vulnerable.
- -Very reliant on landing a single skillshot to be useful offensively.
- -Squishy and immobile, making her an easy target if is used without Zhonya's Hourglass.
Abilities
Soul Siphon provides free sustain. If you are low, drop on the enemy wave or a champion. The healing keeps you in lane longer than most other supports.
Dark Binding is your win button. Don't just throw it on cooldown; hold it to pressure the enemy. The THREAT of is often more powerful than the root itself.
Tormented Shadow deals more damage as enemies lose HP. Use it under targets hit by or to help your ADC push the wave for a level 2 advantage.
Black Shield only blocks magic damage and CC. It does NOT block physical damage. Use it to react to incoming CC like a Blitzcrank hook or a Leona dash.
Soul Shackles is great for peeling divers. The movement speed helps you stay in range. Use it to force enemies to burn Flash or get stunned for a follow-up .
Teamfight Role
Anti-Engage and Peel
Stay in the backline. Use to stop anyone trying to dive your ADC. Use to negate the enemy's primary initiation (like Malphite R or Vi R).
If you have Zhonya's Hourglass, you can Flash into the enemy team and use to act as a primary initiator, but only if your team can follow up.
Combos
Standard Pick
→
The bread and butter. Root them, then place the puddle. The ticks help lower the cooldown of your other tools via procs.
The Lockdown
→ →
Use this when you hit a close-range . Chain the CC so they are stunned by immediately after the root ends.
Safe Engage
→ (on self) →
Run at them with the speed buff. Use on yourself so they can't stop your tether. Save for when they are stunned.
Bush Gank
(on wave) → wait in bush → →
Hide your cast animation. Firing from out of vision is the most reliable way to land it.
Power Spikes
| Spike | Why |
|---|---|
| Level 1 | can cheese a kill in a late invade or a bush bush-camp. 2 seconds of root is an eternity at level 1. |
| Level 3 | Access to all basic abilities. You now have the threat, poke, and protection. |
| Level 6 | gives you massive kill pressure in 2v2s and makes you very difficult to gank. |
| Level 11 | Rank 2 and maxed means your pick potential is at its peak during mid-game rotations. |
Tips & Tricks
- •Don't cast early. Wait for the CC projectile to be in the air so the enemy can't switch targets.
- • does missing health damage—it's great for securing kills on low-HP enemies escaping under tower.
- •The movement speed from only triggers if you are moving TOWARD enemies.
- •You can use on allies who are already CC'd to prevent FOLLOW-UP CC, but it won't remove the current one.
- •Check bushes with ; if your Manaflow Band or gold item procs, someone is in there.
- •Standard max order is into for the shield strength and lower cooldown.
Common Mistakes
- ✕Fishing with too often in lane.→You lose all pressure. When is on cooldown, the enemy bot lane can walk up and zone you for free.
- ✕Using for just the damage shield.→You waste the CC immunity, which is the ability's real power. It gets broken by magic damage easily.
- ✕Using and standing still.→Enemies will simply walk out of the tether. You must use the bonus move speed to stay on top of them.
- ✕Neglecting sustain.→Many players forget that hitting a or keeping on a champion heals you. Use it to win wars of attrition.
- ✕Using without being healthy or having Zhonya's.→You will die before the 3-second stun delay finishes. is a death sentence for you if misused.
