She uses <strong>Mana<\/strong> (340 \u2013 1519.9 at max level) and is <strong>Ranged<\/strong> with 450 attack range. Released on February 21, 2009, Morgana is one of the original League of Legends champions, currently in patch V25.21. With an <strong>S tier ranking<\/strong>, <strong>50.5\u201352.3% win rate<\/strong>, and <strong>4.6% pick rate<\/strong> in Emerald+, Morgana has been a top-tier support for over 15 years. That\u2019s not a coincidence \u2013 it\u2019s design. Morgana\u2019s kit does two things better than almost anyone in the game: she locks down targets with the longest basic ability root (3 seconds at max rank), and she makes allies immune to CC with Black Shield. Against hook\/engage supports like Blitzcrank, Leona, Nautilus, and Thresh, Morgana is the hard counter that makes their entire kit useless. That\u2019s her niche, and it\u2019s an incredibly powerful one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kayle &amp; Morgana, the Righteous &amp; the Fallen | Login Screen - League of Legends\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nNP-xHhknvk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83d\udcca Base Statistics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Statistic<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Base Value<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Max Value (lvl 20)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>HP<\/strong><\/td><td>630<\/td><td>2675.16<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Mana (MP)<\/strong><\/td><td>340<\/td><td>1519.9<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Attack Damage (AD)<\/strong><\/td><td>56<\/td><td>124.83<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Armor (AR)<\/strong><\/td><td>25<\/td><td>107.59<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Magic Resist (MR)<\/strong><\/td><td>30<\/td><td>55.56<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Movement Speed (MS)<\/strong><\/td><td>335<\/td><td>335 (fixed)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Attack Range<\/strong><\/td><td>450 (Ranged)<\/td><td>450 (fixed)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83d\udca1 Key Identity: <\/strong>450 attack range is short for a ranged champion (most ADCs have 525\u2013600). This means Morgana\u2019s auto-attack trading in lane is limited \u2013 she\u2019s NOT a poke champion. Her power is entirely in her abilities: Q root, E shield, W zone, R stun. The massive mana pool (340\u20131519.9) supports extended laning. 335 base MS is average, but her R gives 20\u201360% bonus movement speed when chaining enemies, making her deceptively fast during ult engages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\ud83d\udd2e Passive: Soul Siphon<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>INNATE: <\/strong>Morgana <strong>heals herself for 18%<\/strong> of the post-mitigation damage dealt by her abilities against <strong>champions, large minions, and medium\/large monsters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Parameter<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Value<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Healing<\/strong><\/td><td>18% of ability damage dealt<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Valid Targets<\/strong><\/td><td>Champions, large minions, medium and large monsters<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>W Synergy<\/strong><\/td><td>Soul Siphon heal triggers reduce W cooldown by 5%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83d\udca1 Pro Tip: <\/strong>Soul Siphon is subtle but impactful. In extended fights, Q + W + R all deal damage that heals Morgana. During R channel (3 seconds of tether damage + stun damage), Soul Siphon provides substantial healing. In mid lane, W on the wave heals from large minions (cannon and melee). The W\/Soul Siphon synergy is key: every time Soul Siphon triggers, W\u2019s current cooldown is reduced by 5%. This means in teamfights where W is hitting multiple champions, W\u2019s cooldown practically resets itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\ud83d\udd2e Q: Dark Binding<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cost: <\/strong>50 \/ 55 \/ 60 \/ 65 \/ 70 Mana | <strong>Cooldown: <\/strong>10 seconds | <strong>Cast Time: <\/strong>0.25 | <strong>Range: <\/strong>1300 | <strong>Width: <\/strong>140 | <strong>Speed: <\/strong>1200<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ACTIVE: <\/strong>Morgana throws a sphere of dark magic that deals <strong>magic damage<\/strong> to the first enemy hit and <strong>roots them<\/strong> for a duration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Parameter<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Value<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Magic Damage<\/strong><\/td><td>80 \/ 135 \/ 190 \/ 245 \/ 300 (+ 90% AP)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Root Duration<\/strong><\/td><td>2 \/ 2.25 \/ 2.5 \/ 2.75 \/ 3 seconds<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Range<\/strong><\/td><td>1300 units<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Missile Speed<\/strong><\/td><td>1200<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u26a0\ufe0f 3 Seconds. The Longest Root in Basic Abilities: <\/strong>At max rank, Dark Binding roots for <strong>3 full seconds<\/strong>. For reference, most CC abilities last 1\u20131.5 seconds. A 3-second root at 1300 range is enough time for your entire team to collapse and delete the rooted target. The counterbalance: Q is a skillshot with 1200 missile speed (moderate) and 140 width (narrow). It\u2019s dodgeable, especially by mobile champions. The trick: throw Q AFTER the enemy uses their dash or when they\u2019re in a narrow corridor where dodging is impossible. Q through minions is blocked by the first unit hit \u2013 never throw Q into a minion wave. Wait for the enemy to step to the side of their wave, then Q them in the gap. In fog of war, Q is nearly undodgeable because the enemy has no time to react.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\ud83d\udd2e W: Tormented Shadow<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cost: <\/strong>70 \/ 80 \/ 90 \/ 100 \/ 110 Mana | <strong>Cooldown: <\/strong>12 seconds | <strong>Cast Time: <\/strong>0.25 | <strong>Target Range: <\/strong>900 | <strong>Effect Radius: <\/strong>280<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PASSIVE: <\/strong>W\u2019s current cooldown is reduced by <strong>5% of its total cooldown<\/strong> whenever Soul Siphon triggers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ACTIVE: <\/strong>Morgana torments the ground for <strong>5 seconds<\/strong>, dealing magic damage on-cast and every 0.5 seconds.

The Q \u2192 W combo is Morgana\u2019s bread and butter: root them with Q, place W under them, they take the full damage while unable to move. In lane, W also procs support item and generates gold. For mid Morgana, W is maxed first for waveclear \u2013 W on the caster minions one-shots them at higher ranks. The 170% damage to monsters makes Morgana a surprisingly effective jungle clearer for off-meta jungle Morgana (viable but niche).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\ud83d\udd2e E: Black Shield<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cost: <\/strong>80 Mana | <strong>Cooldown: <\/strong>26 \/ 23.5 \/ 21 \/ 18.5 \/ 16 seconds | <strong>Cast Time: <\/strong>NONE | <strong>Target Range: <\/strong>800<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ACTIVE: <\/strong>Morgana grants a <strong>magic damage shield<\/strong> to a target ally (or herself) for <strong>5 seconds<\/strong>.

It grants COMPLETE CC immunity while the shield holds. Leona R? Blocked. Blitzcrank Q? Blocked. Ashe R? Blocked. Malzahar R? Even suppression is blocked if E is active BEFORE it hits. The catch: Black Shield only absorbs <strong>magic damage<\/strong>. Physical damage does NOT break the shield but also doesn\u2019t get absorbed. This means against teams with heavy physical CC (Ashe auto slows, Nautilus passive root \u2013 these are magic damage so they DO break it), Black Shield is strongest. Against pure physical damage that doesn\u2019t deal magic damage, the CC immunity still works but the shield doesn\u2019t absorb anything. The 26-second cooldown at rank 1 is brutal \u2013 if you E at the wrong time, your carry has no protection for nearly 30 seconds. E timing is the single most important skill on Morgana. Shield the RIGHT ability, not every ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\ud83d\udd2e R: Soul Shackles (Ultimate)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cost: <\/strong>100 Mana | <strong>Cooldown: <\/strong>120 \/ 110 \/ 100 seconds | <strong>Cast Time: <\/strong>0.35 | <strong>Effect Radius: <\/strong>625 | <strong>Tether Radius: <\/strong>625<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ACTIVE: <\/strong>Morgana latches chains onto nearby enemy champions, dealing <strong>magic damage<\/strong> and forming a tether for <strong>3 seconds<\/strong>.

Flash into 3\u20135 enemies \u2192 R (chains on everyone) \u2192 immediately Zhonya\u2019s (2.5 seconds of invulnerability while chains tick). When Zhonya\u2019s ends, the chains complete and stun everyone around you. The enemy literally cannot stop this combo because Morgana is untargetable during Zhonya\u2019s. The stun lasts 1.5\u20132 seconds on EVERYONE who didn\u2019t escape the tether radius. This single combo wins teamfights. The 60% bonus movement speed at max rank helps Morgana chase enemies who try to run out of tether range. E yourself before R-ing for CC immunity during the channel \u2013 this prevents the enemy from interrupting your R with CC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\ud83d\udee1\ufe0f Black Shield: The One Ability That Makes Engage Supports Cry<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re reading this guide, chances are you\u2019ve been frustrated by Morgana\u2019s E at some point. Here\u2019s why Black Shield is the most tilting ability in support laning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Against Blitzcrank: <\/strong>His entire identity is Rocket Grab (Q). Morgana E on the ADC makes Blitz\u2019s Q literally do nothing \u2013 the hook connects but the CC is blocked. A Blitzcrank who can\u2019t hook is a melee minion for the next 16\u201326 seconds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Against Leona: <\/strong>Leona\u2019s Zenith Blade (E) \u2192 Shield Bash (Q) combo is entirely blocked by one E. She dives in, lands E, tries to Q stun&#8230; nothing happens. She\u2019s now standing in the enemy minion wave with no CC, taking free damage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Against Nautilus: <\/strong>Passive root? Blocked. Q hook? CC blocked. R knockup? CC blocked. Morgana\u2019s E turns Nautilus into the most useless support in the game for one trade window.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Against Thresh: <\/strong>Flay and hook CC are both blocked by E. Thresh can still lantern allies, but his engage is completely neutralized.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Limitation: <\/strong>Black Shield only lasts 5 seconds and has a 16\u201326 second cooldown. If the enemy baits E and THEN engages after it expires, Morgana has no answer. Great engage supports will fake engage to burn E, wait 5 seconds, then engage for real. This mind game is the core of Morgana\u2019s laning phase.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\ud83c\udfaf Strategies and Gameplay Tips<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Early Game (Levels 1-6)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>E Level 1 vs Engage Supports: <\/strong>Against Blitzcrank, Leona, Nautilus, Thresh \u2013 start E level 1, not Q. You need the CC immunity available from the first moment in lane. One hook at level 1 without E can lose the lane.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Q \u2192 W Combo for Poke: <\/strong>When the enemy steps away from their minion wave, Q them. If Q hits (2-second root at rank 1), immediately W under them for guaranteed full damage. This combo deals 170\u2013290 magic damage at level 2\u20133 and procs Arcane Comet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>E Reactively, Not Predictively: <\/strong>Don\u2019t E your ADC before the enemy throws CC. Wait for the CC to be in the air, THEN E. This prevents the enemy from baiting E with a feint. If Blitzcrank throws Q, you have ~0.5 seconds to react with E. Practice the reaction timing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ward Aggressively: <\/strong>Morgana\u2019s Q from fog of war is devastating. Ward the enemy bush, then throw Q from an angle where the enemy doesn\u2019t see it coming.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mid Game (Levels 7-13)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Picks with Q: <\/strong>Morgana\u2019s primary mid-game contribution is catching enemies with Q. Ward around objectives, stand in fog of war, and Q anyone who walks past. A 2.5\u20133 second root on a squishy target = guaranteed kill for your team.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>E the Carry in Fights: <\/strong>In mid-game skirmishes, E should almost always go on your ADC or fed carry. Protecting their DPS is more valuable than anything else. One wasted E = one dead carry = one lost fight.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Build Zhonya\u2019s for R Combo: <\/strong>Prioritize Zhonya\u2019s Hourglass in your build path. The moment you have Zhonya\u2019s, your R becomes a teamfight-winning engage tool. Flash \u2192 R \u2192 Zhonya\u2019s is the combo that wins games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Late Game (Level 14+)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Flash R Zhonya\u2019s: <\/strong>The game-winning combo. Flash into 3\u20135 enemies, R immediately, Zhonya\u2019s. 2\u20132.5 seconds later you\u2019re invulnerable, the chains stun everyone, and your team follows up. This combo is the reason Morgana support can single-handedly win late-game teamfights.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>E on Engagers: <\/strong>Late game, E on your engaging tank (Malphite, Leona, Amumu) makes them CC-immune during their engage. They dive in, CC the enemy team, and can\u2019t be stopped by enemy CC because your E blocks everything.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Q = Death Sentence: <\/strong>At max rank, Q roots for 3 seconds. Any squishy caught by Q in late game is dead \u2013 3 seconds is enough for 4 teammates to focus and kill any target. Vision control around objectives + Q from fog = consistent picks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u274c Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>E-ing Too Early: <\/strong>The most common Morgana mistake. Don\u2019t E your ADC BEFORE the enemy throws CC. Wait for the CC to be in flight, then E reactively. Premature E gives the enemy a 16\u201326 second window to engage freely.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Q Into Minions: <\/strong>Q stops on the first unit hit. Never throw Q through a minion wave. Wait for the enemy to step to the side of their wave, or walk to an angle where minions aren\u2019t blocking. Q through minions = wasted ability on a 10-second cooldown.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Not Building Zhonya\u2019s: <\/strong>Morgana without Zhonya\u2019s can\u2019t use R effectively. During R channel, she\u2019s walking around for 3 seconds and taking damage from everyone. Without Zhonya\u2019s stasis, she dies before chains complete. Zhonya\u2019s is non-negotiable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>R Without E on Self: <\/strong>Before Flashing into the enemy team for R, E yourself first. This prevents the enemy from stunning\/knocking you up to interrupt R chains. Self-E \u2192 Flash \u2192 R \u2192 Zhonya\u2019s is the correct order.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Forgetting W Execute Damage: <\/strong>W deals up to 100% bonus damage on low-HP targets. Don\u2019t forget to W under dying enemies \u2013 the missing HP scaling often secures kills that would otherwise escape.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u2699\ufe0f Recommended Build and Itemization<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Core Items (50.7% WR Build)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wiki\/zazzaks-realmspike\/\">Zaz\u2019Zak\u2019s Realmspike<\/a>: <\/strong>First item.

Scorch adds extra poke on Q hits in lane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u2694\ufe0f Counter Picks &amp; Matchups<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u2705 Morgana Counters (Favorable)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. <a href=\"https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wiki\/alistar-the-minotaur\/\">Alistar<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why: <\/strong>Alistar\u2019s entire combo (W headbutt into Q pulverize) is negated by Black Shield. Without his CC combo, Alistar is a melee minion who used his gap closer to walk into the enemy. E timing on Alistar\u2019s W = completely neutralized engage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. <a href=\"https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wiki\/leona-the-radiant-dawn\/\">Leona<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why: <\/strong>Leona is THE engage support. E \u2192 Q \u2192 R is all CC that Black Shield blocks. One reactive E on Leona\u2019s target makes her entire kit useless for one rotation. Morgana is Leona\u2019s hardest counter and has been for 15 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. <a href=\"https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wiki\/swain-the-noxian-grand-general\/\">Swain<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why: <\/strong>Swain support relies on landing E root for the pull combo. Black Shield blocks the root entirely. Without the root, Swain can\u2019t pull targets and his trading pattern collapses. Q poke also outranges Swain\u2019s effective range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u274c Morgana is Countered By<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. <a href=\"https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wiki\/milio-the-gentle-flame\/\">Milio<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why: <\/strong>Milio\u2019s R cleanses Q root from his entire team. Morgana lands a perfect Q on the enemy ADC and Milio presses one button to remove it. His W outranges Morgana\u2019s effective zone, and his kit provides sustained value that doesn\u2019t rely on CC that Morgana can block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. <a href=\"https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wiki\/nami-the-tidecaller\/\">Nami<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why: <\/strong>Nami\u2019s sustained healing and poke outpaces Morgana\u2019s damage in lane. Nami doesn\u2019t rely on one big CC ability \u2013 she has constant small buffs, heals, and movement speed. Morgana\u2019s E doesn\u2019t help against sustained poke damage, only against CC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. <a href=\"https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wiki\/yuumi-the-magical-cat\/\">Yuumi<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why: <\/strong>Yuumi is untargetable while attached. Morgana\u2019s Q can\u2019t hit her. Her sustained healing keeps the ADC healthy through Morgana\u2019s Q \u2192 W poke. Morgana\u2019s E is wasted because Yuumi doesn\u2019t engage with CC that needs blocking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>FAQ<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Does Black Shield block suppression?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A: <\/strong>Yes, IF E is applied BEFORE the suppression hits. Once suppression is already active (Malzahar R already channeling), E cannot remove it. E must be pre-applied to prevent suppression entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Does physical damage break Black Shield?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A: <\/strong>No. Black Shield only absorbs MAGIC damage. Physical damage goes through the shield directly to HP but doesn\u2019t deplete the shield\u2019s value. The CC immunity remains as long as the shield\u2019s magic damage health pool isn\u2019t depleted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Can Q hit multiple targets?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A: <\/strong>No. Q stops on the FIRST enemy hit. It cannot pierce through targets. Position to ensure minions aren\u2019t blocking your Q path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Is Morgana viable mid lane?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A: <\/strong>Yes, with 51.3% WR mid. Max W first for waveclear (one-shots caster minions at higher ranks). Build Blackfire Torch \u2192 Liandry\u2019s for damage. The playstyle shifts from pick\/peel to push + roam + pick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: What\u2019s the correct R combo order?<\/strong><strong>A: <\/strong>Self-E (CC immunity) \u2192 Flash into enemy team \u2192 R (chains on multiple targets) \u2192 Zhonya\u2019s (stasis for 2.5s while chains tick) \u2192 chains complete = AoE stun. This is the most important combo to learn on Morgana.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","class_list":["post-19873","wiki","type-wiki","status-publish","hentry","wiki-category-champions-lol-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Morgana: The Fallen - MagicStark<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/en\/wiki\/morgana-the-fallen\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Morgana: The Fallen - MagicStark\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Morgana is a champion in League of Legends played in the Support (and occasionally Mid) position, classified as a Catcher (legacy: Support\/Mage).
