Playing as Morgana

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Start with your Q

    Look for Dark Binding (Q) early on: the first enemy hit is rooted, giving your carry time to catch them.

  2. W under the rooted target

    Place Tormented Shadow (W) under the target of Dark Binding (Q): rooted, they take the whole zone, whose damage grows with their missing health.

  3. Shield right before the CC

    Cast Black Shield (E) on an ally right before CC hits them: while it holds, it blocks disabling and immobilizing CC and absorbs magic damage.

  4. Stay in range of your chains

    After Soul Shackles (R), stay in range of the chained enemies: those who haven't broken their chain by the end are damaged and stunned.

Playing against Lux

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Keep two minions between you and her

    Stay behind at least two minions: Light Binding (Q) roots the first two enemies hit, so a single minion doesn't protect you.

  2. Step up when she misses Q

    Step up when Light Binding (Q) misses you: it's her only root, with a 10-second cooldown, and she has no dash to escape.

  3. Get out of her singularity fast

    Step out to the side as soon as Lucent Singularity (E) lands: the zone slows you, then explodes when it expires or when Lux detonates it.

  4. Don't run in a straight line

    At low health, change direction as you back off: Final Spark (R) is a straight beam that reaches very far and fires after a charge-up.
