Particularly effective against aggressive encounters like the Swain adventure. Wicked Harvest triggers Morgana's innate lifesteal on the entire board upon play, healing your Nexus to full.

Rare Relics Control

- Doubles your spell output in the late game.
Ensures you have the spell mana to cast generated spells every round.
Strategy
A highly effective build utilizing only Rare relics. The Grand General's Counterplan provides the necessary spell generation, while Archangel's Staff ensures you have the spell mana to cast them every round. Chemtech Duplicator doubles your output in the late game.
Other Relic Options
Excellent for scaling her stats and gaining keywords like Spellshield from drafted allies.
Provides crucial protection against removal and crowd control.
Useful for drawing her 4-cost silencing follower (Blind Mystic) and discounting it.
Synergizes well with her spell-based stat buffs, significantly speeding up her gameplay.
Good for early deployment and stat scaling, especially when paired with Swain's Raven Army.
Constellation
Morgana is an exceptionally strong champion whose base kit provides immense control. She is highly effective at 3 stars and does not require heavy investment to clear the hardest content. Her constellation upgrades primarily serve to speed up her inherently slow playstyle.
Bound Wings
When you target an enemy, Curse it with Shackles.
Crushing Guilt
+1 Starting Mana. Round End: Deal 2 to Cursed enemies and 1 to the enemy Nexus for each Curse in their hand.
Bound Wings II
Increase the cost of enemy Curses everywhere by 1. When you target an enemy, Curse it with Shackles.
Spellslinger
Your spells cost 1 less.Review
Highly impactful. Reducing the cost of her spells significantly improves her mana efficiency and allows for earlier board lockdowns.
Manaflow
Game Start: Get a mana gem.Review
A crucial power spike. The extra starting mana allows her to deploy her support units earlier and accelerates her path to 6 mana for Chemtech Duplicator synergies.
Share My Torment
When you Curse an enemy, grant allies +1|+0.Review
Widely considered one of the weakest 6-star upgrades in the game. It provides board-wide attack buffs that promote a swarm playstyle, which directly conflicts with Morgana's control-oriented, low-unit-count strategy. It is generally recommended to save Nova Crystals for other champions.
Gameplay Tips
- Targeting Mechanics
Morgana's curse application triggers on any spell that targets an enemy, including multi-target spells like 'Make it Rain'. Furthermore, the curse is applied even if the spell itself is negated by a Spellshield.
- Hand Size Management
A full enemy hand prevents curses from being added. Wait for the AI to play cards and free up hand space before casting your shackling spells to ensure the curses take effect.
- Lifesteal Sustain
Morgana's innate lifesteal is a powerful tool for recovering from early chip damage. Do not be afraid to take some Nexus damage in the early rounds while setting up your board, as you can easily heal back to full once she is deployed.
- Obliterate Synergy
Morgana's champion spell can invoke an Obliterate effect. This is incredibly useful against bosses with death immunity or massive scaling, such as Baron Nashor, allowing you to bypass their mechanics entirely.
- Beware of Discard Powers
Avoid taking adventure powers or items that force the enemy to discard cards. These effects can randomly discard the curses you have carefully placed in their hand, undermining your primary control strategy.
- Avoid Low-Cost Support Champions
When drafting, try to avoid 1-cost or 2-cost support champions. Drafting higher-cost champions improves the quality of cost-reduction items offered in shops and rewards, which Morgana desperately needs.
