Passive, spells and ultimate

Gift of the Drowned Ones (P)

When Pyke is hidden from enemies, he regenerates damage that he has recently taken from champions. Pyke also cannot gain extra Maximum Health from any source, and instead gains Bonus AD.

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 Pyke

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Put a minion between you and him

    When he charges Bone Skewer (Q), put a minion between you and him or step aside: the hook pulls the first enemy hit.

  2. Back off when sharks appear

    Back off as soon as sharks appear under your feet: it means Pyke is hidden right next to you in Ghostwater Dive (W).

  3. Leave the line of his phantom

    After the Phantom Undertow (E) dash, get out of the line between his starting point and him: the phantom returns to Pyke and stuns champions it passes through.

  4. Leave his X at low health

    Get out of the Death From Below (R) X when you're low: below its health threshold, you're executed there, and above it, you only take part of the damage.

  5. Focus him as soon as he shows

    If you can reach him, focus him as soon as he shows himself: out of your sight, Gift of the Drowned Ones (passive) restores the damage you just dealt him.
