"Some things must remain buried."

Strategy is highly subjective and may become outdated without any notice. Because of this, the League of Legends Wiki has decided to retire strategy pages and would recommend using other platforms (such as YouTube) to find guides. For more information visit this thread.

Tips[]

Playing As Morgana Morgana
Playing Against Morgana Morgana
  • Tormented Shadow Tormented Shadow deals tons of damage to units missing large amounts of health. When low on health, be wary of Morgana's attempts to trap you within its reach.
  • Morgana often needs to land Dark Binding Dark Binding to setup her other attacks. Use your minions as shields against Dark Binding Dark Binding.
  • Try to use your crowd control when you know Morgana's Black Shield Black Shield is on cooldown.

Tricks[]

Ability Usage
  • Early game, Dark Binding Dark Binding into Tormented Shadow Tormented Shadow may burn lots of health from your opponents. Be careful when harassing this way, as the former costs lots of mana, especially when maxed early on.
  • Single Tormented Shadow Tormented Shadow will deal tremendous total damage to minions and will cause your lane to push. However, since Dark Binding Dark Binding lasts pretty long and Black Shield Black Shield protects from crowd-control, she is really hard to gank.
  • Tormented Shadows Tormented Shadows might abuse your lane partner's farming. If willing to poke, use Dark Binding Dark Binding instead, as it costs less mana and will probably damage them more, without pushing the lane.
  • Morgana's Morgana's Soul Shackles Soul Shackles might be one of the strongest ultimates, combining high damage with huge scaling and long stun. However it requires her to stick to your enemies, making her vulnerable to attacks. If possible, do not go in first.
  • Thanks to Morgana's Morgana's scalings, she becomes really strong in late game, dealing 900 (+ 230% AP) with Dark Binding Dark Binding and Soul Shackles Soul Shackles. She can also cast Tormented Shadow Tormented Shadow to further increase damage dealt.
  • Morgana Morgana is great at zoning her enemies, forcing to either leave specified area, hide behind minions or just run away from you.
Rune Usage
Item Usage
  • Morgana Morgana benefits from items that grant her ability power, thanks to great scalings on her abilities. Since she needs to get close to hit her enemies with ultimate, look for items that grant both damage and defense.
    • A mandatory item for her is Zhonya's Hourglass Zhonya's Hourglass. It grants ability power, armor to survive a few more attacks and cooldown reduction to cast more spells. But the most important is the Stasis icon stasis active, which allows her to become invulnerable for the time holding the tethers. Note, that you cannot move when under Stasis icon stasis, allowing your enemies to run away freely, possibly breaking the bonds. Use it only when needed.
    • Another great option is Rod of Ages Rod of Ages. It increases her health, allowing to survive longer, increases ability power and mana to overcome the great cost of Tormented Shadow Tormented Shadow. It also scales into late game, where she shines at most.
    • To grant lots of ability power, Rabadon's Deathcap Rabadon's Deathcap sounds like a great item. It grants lots of damage to her kit and increases her sniping potential on her Dark Binding Dark Binding. However, since she needs to be close to her enemies when Soul Shackling Soul Shackling, it is not recommended to get this one as first item.
    • Somewhat effective might be Archangel's Staff Archangel's Staff, thanks to huge base mana pool and it's combination with Rod of Ages Rod of Ages. It's shield will also make you harder to kill when in the middle of enemy team. Note, that she cannot stack it that fast, so it's not recommended when you are sure the game won't last long.
    • Luden's Echo Luden's Echo greatly improves the sniping capability with her Dark Binding Dark Binding, increasing it's damage to 400 (+ 100% AP) when charged.
  • Supporting Morgana Morgana also benefits from ability power and defense, but since you won't kill that much, you might not find enough gold to afford such items.
    • For starting item, you might consider Spellthief's Edge Spellthief's Edge to upgrade it to Frostfang Frostfang. It will help you gain gold for new and better items and grants stats you need.
    • Since she doesn't shield that often and doesn't heal at all, Athene's Unholy Grail Athene's Unholy Grail and Ardent Censer Ardent Censer aren't that effective. Zeke's Convergence Zeke's Convergence however does the job.
      • Then forcing into support items, the one dedicated for tanks are better on her, thanks to good base health and defense. Items like Redemption Redemption and Knight's Vow Knight's Vow suit her very well.
      • For cooldowns, Frozen Heart Frozen Heart is the way to go, if you aren't planning to damage your enemies. It will reduce your opponent's attack speed when Soul Shackling Soul Shackling, grant lots of mana and cooldown reduction to increase the frequency of cast Dark Bindings Dark Bindings.
      • Since removing crowd controls is always strong, Mikael's Crucible Mikael's Crucible is a valuable option to all supports and Morgana Morgana is not an exception.
Countering
  • Since Black Shield Black Shield makes her almost impossible to gank, force her to cast it before, or, as a jungler, gank her twice in a quick succession. Thanks to its long cooldown, she should not be able to shield herself again. Be wary of Dark Binding's Dark Binding's though.
  • When Morgana Morgana is off her Dark Binding Dark Binding, she becomes much easier to poke. Use this time to execute own skills or just hit her with few basic attacks.
    • Avoiding mentioned ability will also greatly reduce her effectiveness in the next few seconds, and it is the time to attack her. Don't forget about Black Shield Black Shield.
  • Morgana Morgana can only shield one champion with Black Shield Black Shield. When she casts it on herself or her ally, lock the other one for probably effective gank.
  • Thanks to Black Shield Black Shield, Morgana Morgana effectively counters champions like Thresh Thresh or Leona Leona. Make sure not to take these champions when facing her.
