Morgana Wild Rift Build & Guide

Innate Passive: Soul Siphon

Morgana’s passive allows her to heal off of the damage dealt by her abilities against champions, large minions, and large monsters.

It is not exactly magical vamp because it does not work on all kinds of enemies and it is not exactly game-breaking that the enemy has to rush grievous wounds against Morgana. Although, it definitely heals a lot on mid to late fights where enemies are grouped up and are affected by both Morgana’s 2nd ability, Tormented Shadow, and ultimate, Soul Shackles at the same time.

Q | 1st Ability: Dark Binding

Dark Binding is a slow-moving skill shot that deals magic damage and roots the first enemy hit for a relatively long duration. At max level, it roots for 2.75 seconds.

Dark Binding can be hard to hit because it is a slow-moving projectile that only affects the first enemy hit. Because of that, an enemy simply has to hide behind minions in order to avoid the ability.

To increase your chances of hitting an enemy, use it under brushes or if you are ahead, you may pressure the enemy by walking up to them while applying Morgana’s 3rd ability, Black Shield on herself to nullify any counterattacks.

Practice holding off using Dark Binding for random skill-shots as every time you miss, it gives the enemy team a time window to play more aggressively, knowing that your crowd control ability is on cooldown.

Dark Binding can be Flash-buffered, allowing for surprising long-range initiations. It is wise to try the Flash-Dark Binding combo on the practice mode before using it on an actual match as it has a pretty tiny window of error.

W | 2nd Ability: Tormented Shadow

Tormented Shadow is an area damage per second ability that deals increased damage on low HP targets.

It deals surprising amounts of damage to enemies who do not respect it.

Tormented Shadow deals 150% damage against monsters. Always use it when your team or even if the enemy team is taking an Epic monster, Drakes, Rift Heralds, or Baron Nashor. If the jungler fails to take down the Epic monster using Smite, there is a high chance that the damage tick of this ability will be the killing blow as it ticks every 0.5 seconds.

As it deals increased damage to monsters, Morgana is actually a viable jungler. By taking the Red buff leashed then killing the Blue buff and Gromp at the same time, Morgana clears 3 camps with 5 seconds to spare before the river scuttlers spawn.

Always use Tormented Shadow in conjunction with Morgana’s other abilities and with your ally’s crowd controls to maximize its damage output.

In the laning phase, you can use it to harass enemies and to easily stack Manaflow Band. But be careful not to use it too much as it will easily shove the wave into the enemy turret, putting you and your ADC in a dangerous position.

E | 3rd Ability: Black Shield

Black Shield is what makes Morgana one of the best support in the game. It applies a magic damage shield and as long as the shield is active, it blocks all forms of crowd control.

Black Shield virtually makes it wielder unstoppable just like Olaf is when his ultimate is active.

You may use Black Shield to protect Morgana while attempting to use her other abilities. But more often than not, it is better to reserve this ability to protect your carry against disables and magic damage.

Black Shield has almost no casting delay. Because of this, you will be able to thwart most initiation just by being attentive and responsive on the battlefield.

R | Ultimate: Soul Shackles

Soul Shackles chain nearby enemy champions dealing magic damage based on their max HP then slows and reveals them for three seconds. After three seconds, chained targets are stunned and dealt magic damage again.

soul Shackles may only be activated when near an enemy champion and the chains will only persist if Morgana and the affected enemies are within a certain range together.

Soul Shackles is a strong team fighting ability, dealing a lot of damage regardless if the enemy is an ADC or a tank because its damage is based on max HP.

Although Soul Shackles is a strong ultimate, it has a glaring drawback which is forcing Morgana to be in the middle of the team fight. And because Morgana is pretty much like any other enchanter supports, she will die quickly if focused on.

The obvious solution to this is to build the Stasis Enchant to protect Morgana while Soul Shackles is channeling. The chains is still intact while the Stasis is active but Morgana will be stationary, allowing the enemy the option to just simply walk away.

You have to wait for the last possible second before activating the Stasis Enchant to increase your chances of stunning the enemy. If you activate the Stasis way too early, affected enemies will easily escape the chains. But of course, activating it way too late will most likely result in your death.
