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 Nautilus

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Once he hits level 2, stay behind your minions: the Dredge Line (Q) anchor hooks the first enemy hit, then the Staggering Blow (passive) auto keeps you in place.

  2. Hold still against Riptide

    When he casts Riptide (E) near you, stay put until it ends: its three explosions spread out around him, and running too early makes you take the next ones and their slow.

  3. Back off after his anchor

    When Dredge Line (Q) misses you, keep your distance: it's his only spell to reach you, on a 14 to 10 second cooldown.

  4. Get out of his shockwave's path

    When he aims Depth Charge (R) at an ally, don't stand between them: the shockwave chases its target, and every enemy in its path takes a knock-up.
