Champion Build Guide

Welcome to my Morgana guide! My name is DatKawaiiBunny, and I'm a Silver IV ADC & support main. I've been playing since season 7. I've been playing Morgana off and on for the past year or so. She's absolutely one of my favorite support champions. Her root is longer compared to Lux and Neeko and her shield comes in handy against annoying crowd control champions.

I just started playing her again with Guardian runes. I think they're way better than Arcane Comet and Summon Aery because of the sustain and you can protect your ADC more.

Pros

♥ Long Root

♥ Good Crowd Control

♥ Spell Shield

has a high damage root that lasts for 2 - 3 seconds. Her provides some crowd control, along with her . Her also blocks all forms of crowd control and incoming AP attacks. This makes her a counter to most supports, especially ones with hooks.

Cons

♥ High Cooldowns on Black Shield

♥ Relies on her Dark Bindingfor engage

has a 21-second cooldown on her in the beginning, so you have to use it wisely, preferably on your ADC. Her only engage early is her , unless you have a or an ..

Guardian
shields and hastes yourself and a nearby ally if you or your ally takes damage for 80 - 200(+ 25% AP) (+ 12% bonus health). In my opinion, it's better than and . It gives more sustain, and the rune goes nicely with and .

Font of Life
When you impair an enemy's movement speed, a mark is put on them for 4 seconds. Any ally that attacks an enemy with a mark heal for 5 (+ 1% of your max health) over 2 seconds. This is another rune that goes well with . Enemies are slowed by 20% when they're in the circle.

Bone Plating

Revitalize

Perfect Timing

Biscuit Delivery
increases your mana cap and early 12% restoring of your missing mana and health. You get 3 biscuits in total. 1 every 2 minutes. I usually take
for the mana, but it helps against champions with poke. You can also take for the free pair of .

Arcane Comet
is one of the best runes to take on , if you want to deal a little extra damage. It hurls a comet towards the enemy when you hit them with an ability. You can also take for some extra shielding on and it can't be dodged like .

Manaflow Band
gives you 25 mana every time you hit an enemy champion with an ability. It also gives you up to 250 mana. I take this since uses up a lot of mana early. You can also take , which increases your movement speed by 15 - 35% after you use a summoner spell. 35% on long cooldowns, 25% on medium cooldowns, and 15% on short cooldowns. (These are the changes in the 9.23 patch notes. It used to run off of ultimate cast.)

Transcendence
grants you 10% cooldown reduction at level 10. Also, your extra CDR will get turned into AP after you get 40 - 45% CDR. I take this on because she has high cooldowns, especially on . You can also take for the extra damage.

Scorch
After 10 minutes, you gain 8 AP. You gain about double every 10 minutes after. You can take for the extra poke damage. deals l5 - 35 extra damage when you hit an enemy with an ability.

Perfect Timing
gives you a free stopwatch at 10 minutes and reduces the item cooldowns by 15% on items such as . I take this over for her ultimate .

Cosmic Insight
allows you to cap the CDR by 5%. This rune provides you with +5% CDR, +5% max CDR, and +5% summoner spell CDR. You can also take for the increase mana cap and early 12% restoring of your missing mana and health. You get 3 biscuits in total. 1 every 2 minutes.

Presence of mind
is good for supports that use up a lot of mana early. uses a lot of mana because of her It restores 12% of your missing mana and health for 15 seconds. It also increases your mana cap by 50. You get 3 biscuits in total. 1 every 2 minutes.

Coup De Grace
is something I don't usually go on , but this is an option to take to do more damage to low health champions with or .

Ability Sequence

♥ Passive: Soul Siphon

heals for 20% of the damage her abilities deal to monsters, minions, and enemy champions.

♥ Dark Binding

Cost: 50 / 55 / 60 / 65 / 70

throws out a projectile, root the enemy 2 / 2.25 / 2.5 / 2.75 / 3 seconds and damaging the first enemy unit hit 80 / 135 / 190 / 245 / 300 (+90% of ability power)

♥ Tormented Shadow

Cost: 70 / 85 / 100 / 115 / 130

infects a target area for 5 seconds. When enemies are caught in the area, it deals 6 / 12 / 18 / 24 / 30 (+7% of ability power) each half-second, increased by up to 170% based on the enemy's missing health. Over the full duration, deals a total of 60 / 120 / 180 / 240 / 300 (+70% of ability power) damage minimum, scaling up to 162 / 324 / 486 / 648 / 810 (+189% of ability power) based on the enemy's missing health. The cooldown is also reduced by 5% when is active.

♥ Black Shield

Cost: 80

places a shield around herself or an ally that absorbs the next 60 / 120 / 180 / 240 / 300(+70% of ability power). The shield blocks all crowd control effects for 5 seconds, or until the shield breaks. You can also max after . It depends on who their team is.

♥ Soul Shackles

Cost: 100

After a 0.5 second delay, latches chains onto nearby enemy champions, dealing 150 / 225 / 300(+70% of ability power). Enemies affected are revealed with true sight and are slowed by 20%. Any enemies that don't leave the area after 3 seconds are stunned for 1.5 seconds and are inflicted with the same magic damage.

Relic Shield is another option for starter items. You get 5 AP, 2 gold regeneration, 30 health, and 25% base health regeneration. Unlike Spellthief's Edge, you don't get mana regeneration, but her mana costs are quite small. In order to level up the item, you need 500 gold for your quest, then it will transform into Targon's Buckler. This item gives you 10 AP, 3 gold regeneration, 100 health, and 50% base health regeneration. Three wards come with the transformation as well. Once you get to 1000 gold on the quest, it transforms into Bulwark of the Mountain. It gives you 25 AP 3 gold generation, 300 health, and 100% base health regeneration. You also get 4 refillable wards.

Zhonya's Hourglass gives 75 AP, 45 armor and 10% CDR. When this item is activated, your champion into a stasis state for 2.5 seconds, rendering your champion invulnerable and untargetable but unable to take any actions. I buy this item for Soul Shackles and for the extra armor. This is the core item for Morgana. I take this for Soul Shackles since it gives me extra armor.

Liandry's Torment gives you 75 AP and 300 health. I take this item for the unique passives. Dealing damage to an enemy champion increases your damage by 2% per second. This goes well with Tormented Shadow and the second passive is, damaging enemies with a spell burns them for 1.5% of their max health for 3 seconds. If their movement is impaired, they take 2.5% of their max health instead.

Redemption also grants a 10% bonus on healing and shielding. Redemption gives 10% cooldown reduction, 200 health, 50% base health regeneration, and 150% base mana regeneration. It has a unique activation. Targets an area within 5500 range. After 2.5 seconds, call down a beam of light to heal allies for 30 - 370 (based on target's level) and deal 10% of maximum health true damage to enemy champions and 250 true damage to minions (120-second cooldown). It can be used while dead. I buy this for teamfights. It tends to be a situational item since I usually go full AP.

Shurelya's Battlesong is one of the best items on Soraka. It's an all-around good item for her because of the 10% CDR, 300 health, 100% base mana and health regeneration, 10% heal/shield power, and the 40% movement speed active-passive. The passive goes so well with Mobility Boots Celerity, and her passive Salvation.

Morellonomicon gives 70 AP, 300 health, and 15 magic penetration. Magic damage dealt with champions inflicts them with Grievous Wounds for 3 seconds. This is great against people with healing, such as Dr. Mundo and Vladimir.

Twin Shadows gives 70 AP, 10% CDR and 7% movement speed. When activated, two ghosts hunt down nearby enemies. Haunted enemies are slowed by 40% for up to 5 seconds and their location is revealed. The AP and utility is the reason why I build this as a 3rd item on Morgana. It goes works with Font of Life.

Rabadon's Deathcap is a big mid/late game purchase gives 120 AP, plus a 40% increase. With Liandry's Torment and Morellonomicon you will do serious damage to enemies.

Luden's Tempest is the main AP item that most mages build. You get 90 AP, 10% CDR and 600 mana. The passive gives 10% CDR and when your item is at 100 stacks, your next spell expands, hitting 4 enemy units within the area and dealing 100 (+10% of ability power).

Sorcerer's Shoes is the main choice of boots I take on Morgana. It gives 18 magic penetration. You can also build Ionian Boots of Lucidity if you need to finish maxing your CDR or Mobility Boots for the enhanced movement speed. It increases your movement speed by 25% and it also increases your out of combat movement speed by 115% for 5-seconds.

deals damage 70 - 410 true damage on a targeted enemy champion for 5 seconds and applies grievous wounds, which reduces all healing received and regeneration rates by 40%. helps in teamfights, and with champions that heal like and . I take this against counters and to reduce the healing of some champions.

slows down a targeted enemy champion for 30% of their movement speed, and reduces their damage by 40% for 3 seconds. can be used as a way to help engage with or .

teleports your champion wherever your cursor is. Plus, it's a key summoner spell for every champion, except . Another way to engage with or as a way to escape.

Support is one of the most important roles. There's more to it than just playing the champion. You have to understand your job in the laning phase, teamfights, as well as warding (which I have little map examples of the places I usually ward), and wave control.

Early Game

♥ Level 1:

You just want to get level two. Preferably before the enemies level up.

♥ Level 2:

If you hit level 2 before the enemy, you should communicate with your ADC and try to get an early kill, or . You should also watch out for a gank by their jungler. On occasion, you might get level 2 ganked, especially by a . This is also when you get , which can prevent an early kill for the enemy bot lane.

♥ Level 3 - 5:

Level 6 is when you gain your ultimate. Before then, you are going to poke, ward, and shield your ADC. Ward dragon, possibly with a , and help your ADC get minions and gold.

♥ Level 6:

has a strong engage ultimate . Your job is to look for an opportunity to engage on the enemy bot lane with your ultimate or . Make sure you have the bush(or bushes) next to dragon pit warded.

Mid/Late Game

♥ Roaming:

Personally, I like to roam after I get to level 6, but you can roam sooner. This is where you really have to communicate with your teammates. Roaming is also a great opportunity to deep ward, ward the river, or ward objectives, like a dragon. Some good times to roam are when:

You and your ADC recalled and the wave is pushed bot lane

Mid has priority, so you can help get the tower

Your jungle summoned rift herald

Your jungler is ganking mid. You can most likely 3 v 1 or 3 v 2.

♥ Teamfight Tips:

Teamfights are very important, and they can turn the game around. is great in teamfights because of her crowd control. You want to focus on using your ultimate on as many enemies as you can, so you get the most out of it. You should also focus on using on the frontline and your ADC. Try to hit a before your team engages, it can also be combined with and . If you get , that'll also help your team engage.

Warding is very important throughout the game. Providing your team with vision can really turn a game around, especially if you ward objectives, such as , , and .

Early Game
In the early game, you should prioritize warding as much as possible. You probably won't have your upgraded support item by then, but that's okay. If you're ahead, you should try to ward either the enemy's or to get some vision on the jungler, just in case they gank. If you can't do that, ward the tribush with a or a . If you're behind, then ward the river, one of the bushes in the bot lane, and . If you're behind because of the enemy jungler, then make sure to ward the tribush, if they're coming from that direction. If not, focus on the river.

Mid/Late Game
By this time, you should be out of the bot lane. Your upgraded support item gives you an opportunity to deep ward. You want to focus on warding the enemy's jungle. Specifically, near objectives and blast cones. You should always keep warded, preferably with a . Buy an as soon as your item is upgraded and try to deny them vision by looking for wards they've placed in your jungle, as well as theirs.

Blue Dots are of course the Blue Team.

Red Dots are of course the Red Team.

Pink Dots are Control Wards.

Small Green Dots are Blast Cones
