Lore
Conflicted between her celestial and mortal natures, Morgana bound her wings to embrace humanity, and inflicts her pain and bitterness upon the dishonest and the corrupt. She rejects laws and traditions she believes are unjust, and fights for truth from the shadows of Demacia—even as others seek to repress it—by casting shields and chains of dark fire. More than anything else, Morgana truly believes that even the banished and outcast may one day rise again.
Abilities
Morgana drains spirit from her enemies, healing as she deals damage to champions, large minions, and medium and larger jungler monsters.
Cooldown 10s Cost 50/55/60/65/70 Mana Range 1250
Morgana binds an enemy in place with dark magic, forcing them to feel the pain they've caused and dealing magic damage.
Cooldown 12s Cost 70/80/90/100/110 Mana Range 900
Morgana casts a cursed shadow on an area, damaging enemies who dare stand in her dark circle. They receive magic damage over time, which increases the lower health they are.
Cooldown 26/23.5/21/18.5/16s Cost 80 Mana Range 800
Morgana anoints an ally with a protective barrier of starfire, which absorbs magical damage and disabling effects until it is broken.
Cooldown 120/110/100s Cost 100 Mana Range 625
Morgana unleashes the full force of her Celestial power as she unbinds her wings and hovers above the ground. She lashes chains of dark pain onto nearby enemy champions, gaining Move Speed. The chains slow and deal initial damage and, after a delay, stun those who are unable to break them.
Playing the matchup
Playing as Morgana
- Shrewd use of Black Shield can determine the outcome of team fights.
- Items that provide survivability allow Morgana to become extremely difficult to kill in conjunction with Black Shield and Soul Shackles.
- Tormented Shadow is an excellent farming tool if you're by yourself in a lane.
Playing against Morgana
- 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 to setup her other attacks. Use your minions as shields against Dark Binding.
- Black Shield makes Morgana immune to disabling effects, but can be broken with magic damage.
