Best Morgana Build Guide | Runes | Spells | Items in League of Legends

Morgana is one of the most simple support champions to use in League of Legends, thanks to her high ability power, she deals magic damage worthy of respect, besides keeping any enemy champion during team fights at bay or root them with her "Dark Binding", Morgana can also cast her "Black Shield", a magic resist shield she can place on allies, or herself which is helpful against mages or magic penetration in general.

Best Morgana Build

For Morgana support, you want to build items that maximize the damage dealt when damaging enemies with abilities such as "Dark Binding" or "Tormented Shadow", which are the ones you will prioritize in your skill order. For this Morgana build in patch 12.14, there are certain items that will increase her value in team fights when dealing magic damage, allowing you to play aggressively against the enemy champions.

Best Morgana Runes

When it comes to the best Morgana build, the best runes for Morgana support can be found in the Sorcery Tree, and it's pretty much the only choice you can go with for most matchups. The keystone to pick will be "Arcane Comet", with "Manaflow Band" in the first slots of runes, then "Transcendence", and finally "Scorch" for this first rune set.

Best Rune Path	Sorcery	Inspiration
Best Keystone	Arcane Comet
Best Slot 1 (Rune)	Manaflow Band	Perfect Timing
Best Slot 2 (Rune)	Transcendence	Biscuit Delivery
Best Slot 3 (Rune)	Scorch

The secondary set of runes for Morgana in the support role comes from the Inspiration Tree with "Perfect Timing" and "Biscuit Delivery". Inspiration "perfect timing" one grants you a "Stop Watch", perfect to save some money on "Zhonya's Hourglass", or to even use it in the early game with Morgana's "Soul Shackles", stunning chained targets and dealing some decent burst damage on nearby enemy champions.

Best Morgana Rune Shards

Morgana's best runes shards improve the dealt magic damage, of "Tormented Shadow", "Dark Binding", and "Soul Shackles". For Offense and Flex choose "Adaptive Force".

BEST RUNE SHARDS	EFFECT
Offense	+9 Adaptive Force
Flex	+9 Adaptive Force
Defense	+6 Armor

For Defense choose "Armor", which she needs to resist physical damage whenever she gets too close to getting an enemy hit by "Soul Shackles".

Best Morgana Spells

"Flash" and "Ignite" are the best summoner spells for her. Flash is one of the summoner spells everyone uses. It's great to get in or out of team fights, plus, Morgana support can use it to set up a huge crowd control with her "Soul Shackles".

Ignite
Flash

“Ignite” is one of the best summoner spells for Morgana as well because it allows more damage in the laning phase, besides the extra burst damage from her "Tormented Shadow".

Best Morgana Abilities Order

When managing league of legends champions like Morgana support you first want to max her "Tormented Shadow" in her skill order, then her "Dark Binding", and lastly her "Dark Shield", of course, level up her "Soul Shackles" every time it is available.

The skill order combo with Morgana would be first "Tormented Shadow", followed up by "Dark Binding", if the enemy champions are giving too much trouble, you can go in with "Soul Shackles" to stun them, but make sure your lane partner will go in too since you'll be rather exposed.

A great point Morgana support has is that she can heal herself thanks to her "Soul Siphon" when she hits enemy champions, monsters, or large minions, with her abilities, which is why sometimes Morgana is played in the jungle, since she can heal with her skill order "Dark Binding" and "Tormented Shadow" thanks to "Soul Siphon".

Best Morgana Items

The best items for Morgana support focus on improving her magic damage thanks to items like "Liandry's Anguish" which is the successor of "Liandry's Torment", the "Shard of True Ice", and "Rylai's Crystal Scepter".

Best Starter Morgana Items

For Morgana players the best starting items in this League of Legends patch 12.14 consist of the "Spellthief's Edge", two "Health Potions", and of course, a "Stealth Ward".

FIRST ITEM	SECOND ITEM	THIRD ITEM	FOURTH ITEM
Spellthief’s Edge	Health Potion	Health Potion

Best Mid Game Morgana Items

"Shard of True Ice", "Ionian Boots of Lucidity", and "Zhonya's Hourglass" are the items you should have by mid game, the "Shard of True Ice" coming from the previous starting items of the early game "Zhonya's" will save you from any killing blow and the "Ionian Boots of Lucidity" will grant you some nice ability haste to cast your "Black Shield" to provide magic resistor "Dark Binding" and activate "Soul Siphon" to heal you a bit as it deals damage.

FIRST ITEM	SECOND ITEM	THIRD ITEM
Shard of True Ice	Ionian Boots of Lucidity	Zhonyas’s Hourglass

Against other champions, you can replace "Ionian Boots of Lucidity" for the "Sorcerer's Shoes" to penetrate the magic resist armor of an enemy, but this would be only situational sin the ability haste "Ionian Boots of Lucidity" grants is quite useful for Morgana to use her magic resist "Black Shield" or her "Soul Shackles" to apply more crowd control.

Best Final Late Game Morgana Items 

The successor of "Liandry's Torment", "Rylai's Crystal Scepter", and "Morellonomicon" are the final items of this build in this patch 12.14. The descendant of "Liandry's Torment" and "Rylai's Crystal Scepter" are the protagonists here. "Liandry's Anguish" is the mythic item to choose from the different mythic items available, it provides more damage to her abilities while she heals with "Soul Siphon".

FIRST ITEM	SECOND ITEM	THIRD ITEM	FOURTH ITEM	FIFTH ITEM	SIXTH ITEM
Shard of True Ice	Ionian Boots of Lucidity	Zhonyas’s Hourglass	Liandry’s Anguish	Morellonomicon	Rylai’s Crystal Scepter

"Rylai's Crystal Scepter" provides extra crowd control when getting officially involved in team fights which helps with any unique takedown. On the other hand "Morellonomicon" causes grievous wounds to the enemy, which goes excellent with ex-"Liandry's Torment".

Best Champions to pair Morgana with

Veigar and Morgana have a high win rate because they can easily get the first enemy kill if they work together towards that goal, eventually, during a game, they can be rather annoying due to the high CC their synergy offer.

CHAMPION	WIN RATE %	ICON
Veigar	54.6%
Sivir	53.5%
Miss Fortune	52.4%

Sivir and Miss Fortune also benefit from the CC Morgana can achieve, being able to set beautifully the enemy duo in the enemy lane to get crushed by their ultimates, and if necessary, use her "Black Shield" ability on whoever needs it the most during the game.

Strongest Champions against Morgana

Taric, Vel'Koz, and Janna can be truly annoying to play against as Morgana, Taric can literally counter Morgana's Ultimate, while Vel'Koz and Janna can displace, and protect their allies from her, hence their win rate against Morgana.

CHAMPION	WIN RATE %	ICON
Taric	45.8%
Vel’Koz	46.0%
Janna	46.9%

Weakest Champions against Morgana

Morgana excels against tank characters, and right now the win rate she has when facing Alistar, Leona, and Thresh is rather high. This is because Morgana can weaken them from a safe distance, and protect the ADC from any magic damage such as Leona's thanks to her "Black Shield".

CHAMPION	WIN RATE %	ICON
Alistar	54.6%
Leona	54.3%
Thresh	53.8%

Morgana is hands down one of the best supports in the game due to how simple, yet powerful and useful she actually is. She's one of those characters anyone who's learning the support role should try out first while they get the hang of what a good support should play like. Lastly, Morgana is also known for how flexible she is when it comes to played in other lanes, or even the jungle.
