How to play
Look for bindings through clear gaps Aim your 1st ability through a gap in the minions to root an enemy, then place your 2nd ability under them for damage.
Shield your teammate before they are caught Cast your 3rd ability on your teammate before an enemy hook, stun, or root lands to block it while the shield holds.
Use your ultimate against enemies who dive in Your ultimate links you to nearby enemies and stuns them if you stay in range. Cast it when enemies jump onto your damage dealer, then stay close enough for the stun.

Strengths
- Black Shield (3rd) can block key crowd control and magic damage until its shield health is broken, demanding precise timing against multi-spell engages.
- A landed bind into her shackle stun holds a target long enough for any decent ADC to finish the kill.
- Tormented Shadow (2nd) gives her real poke and waveclear, punishing melee supports who have to walk through it to reach her.
Weaknesses
- Immobile with no escape, so a missed bind leaves her a slow body for junglers and divers to punish.
- Her whole pick threat is one dodgeable skillshot, and a missed Dark Binding (1st) leaves her with only poke.
- Mobile supports and disengage dodge the bind and break the tether, wasting her engage tools.
Morgana Support Wild Rift best build, items, runes, summoner spells, and skill order
ITEM BUILD
Best Wild Rift build for Morgana Support, including items, runes, summoner spells, and skill order.
STARTING ITEM
Support income for a mage who spends the lane zoning with her W (2nd) rather than farming.
BOOTS
Magic penetration keeps a support-budget W (2nd) hurting once the enemy duo buys any resistance.
CORE BUILD
Tormented Shadow (2nd) completes the quest through repeated chip damage, converting each successful root-and-pool trade into support gold and earlier vision control.
Her W (2nd) ticks continuously on the enemy duo, so the max health burn is permanently applied.
The slow holds the enemy carry in her W (2nd), which is what turns her root into a kill for her duo.
Soul Shackles (Ult) is a three-second tether rather than a channel, and it continues during stasis. Zhonya's keeps Morgana safe while she remains close enough for the second damage instance and stun. Buy Seeker's Armguard early for the armor and ability power.
Cuts the magic resist that blunts her W (2nd). The healing on takedown also helps the duo who followed her root in. Choose it when enemies have not built much magic resist, so trading Void Staff's extra damage for more ability haste and an area heal after takedowns is worthwhile.
SITUATIONAL ITEMS
The raw penetration alternative to Cryptbloom. Build it when a magic resist frontline is what stops her W (2nd) mattering. Choose it over Cryptbloom when enemies are stacking magic resist and maximum personal damage matters more than ability haste and team healing.
Build this when the enemy duo heals through her W (2nd), so her carry never has to. Buy Oblivion Orb early, since the anti-heal works from the component.
Build this when shields absorb Morgana's gank or poke. A root into Tormented Shadow (2nd) applies and refreshes the reduction while the target remains trapped in the pool.
Build this when one spell must be blocked before Morgana can cast Black Shield (3rd) on herself or an ally. The extra shield layer protects the opening of her root and ultimate setup.
RUNES
KEYSTONE
Aery follows her shield as well as her root, so it pays out on both halves of what she does.
PRIMARY
She wants her W (2nd) and her shield available constantly, and more mana pays for both.
Ability haste means more shields, which is the single most valuable thing she does in a fight.
Her poke is a W (2nd) cast and back off, and Scorch adds damage to that pattern.
SECONDARY
Her shield covers magic burst, and this covers the engage that comes at her with physical damage instead.
SITUATIONAL RUNES
Take this over Bone Plating against teams that rely on repeated picks or extended objective fights. More frequent Dark Binding (1st) and Black Shield (3rd) casts help Morgana threaten another catch while protecting allies from the next control spell.
SUMMONER SPELLS
MAIN SPELLS
Flash
Must take. Flash into her ultimate is how she stuns a group who would otherwise walk out of the spin.
Heal
Her shield blocks the crowd control aimed at her carry, and this restores the health that the damage still took. Together they cover both halves of a dive.
SKILL ORDER
Skill Priority Order
- 11st Ability
Q - 23rd Ability

Morgana Support Wild Rift matchups and counters
Wild Rift matchup guide for Morgana Support, covering favorable lanes and difficult counters to prepare for in ranked, plus the duo partners that pair best with this pick.
Good Matchups
These champions are favorable matchups for this pick in Wild Rift. You have advantages against them and can play more aggressively.
Leona
Black Shield (3rd) can block Leona's root or stun while its magic shield holds, but Leona's magic damage may break it before the rest of her chain lands. Pre-shield the intended target and punish her committed position without assuming the entire all-in disappears.
Nautilus
Black Shield (3rd) can prevent Nautilus's hook displacement, passive root, or ultimate knockup while it holds, but his magic damage can break the shield and expose the target to later control. It is a timed health-limited immunity, not free protection from his whole kit.
Rakan
Rakan has Grand Entrance's (2nd) knockup as well as The Quickness (Ult) charm, and Battle Dance (3rd) lets him dash back to an ally rather than forcing a fixed return timer. Black Shield (3rd) one engage layer while it holds, then aim Binding (1st) at his actual exit path.
Alistar
His plan is crowd control delivered at melee range, and Black Shield (3rd) blocks it, while his short engage range means he has to walk into your binding to do anything.
Braum
Black Shield (3rd) deletes the Concussive Blows (Passive) stun his trades build toward, so he cannot peel your picks, and his defensive kit loses the poke war yours forces.
Morgana Counters
These champions counter this pick in Wild Rift and can be difficult matchups. Learn how to play against them or consider banning them.
Zyra
Zyra's repeated magic damage can break Black Shield (3rd), after which her root or ultimate knockup can affect the target. The shield can block more than one control effect while it still has health; the problem is Zyra has enough spell and plant damage to remove it first.
Soraka
Her healing refunds every trade you win, and her silence lands on your cast animations, cutting off the binding and shield in the exact fights you saved them for.
Senna
Senna pokes from beyond your binding range and scales off every soul the lane gives her, while your shield blocks crowd control she barely uses.
Milio
His ultimate cleanses the binding your whole game is built to land, his poke matches yours with sustain attached, and his range buff keeps his carry outside your root line.
Nami
Her trade pattern beats yours: she heals back the poke she loses while your chip stays lost, and her Tidecaller (3rd) damage stacks up while your shield waits for crowd control worth blocking.
Synergies
The Dragon lane is a 2v2, so the carry you queue with matters as much as the matchup. These carries make the most of what this support provides.
Caitlyn
Dark Binding (1st) into a trap is the oldest root chain in the book, and Black Shield (3rd) blanks the engage supports who want to jump her.
Jhin
Your binding feeds his root and his fourth shot finishes the exchange. Black Shield (3rd) also covers the immobile windows his reload creates.
Draven
Black Shield (3rd) protects the axe-juggling machine from the CC that ruins his rhythm, and a bound target eats axes until it dies.
