Morgana
View on Wiki
Excellent (9/10)
Morgana is widely recognized as an exceptionally powerful control champion capable of locking down the most difficult encounters. While her slow, methodical playstyle can lead to lengthy games, her consistency and innate lifesteal make her incredibly reliable.
Infinite Control & Sustain
Provides a steady stream of Dark Bindings every round and ensures Morgana can be replayed if removed.
Doubles all spells once you reach 6 mana, allowing you to completely paralyze the enemy board.
Triggers Morgana's innate lifesteal on the entire board upon play, healing your Nexus to full.
Strategy
This build maximizes Morgana's ability to lock down the board while providing infinite sustain. The Grand General's Counterplan ensures a constant supply of champion spells and allows you to repeatedly play Morgana if she is removed.
Wicked Harvest is the cornerstone of your survivability. Because Morgana has innate lifesteal, the 3 damage dealt to all other units upon her summon will heal your Nexus for massive amounts, allowing you to easily recover from early chip damage.
Once you reach 6 mana, Chemtech Duplicator doubles your curses and control spells, completely paralyzing the enemy board. This setup is incredibly resilient against aggressive and unit-spamming opponents.
Echoing Control
Ensures consistent champion draws and reduces the cost of her champion spell.- Generates a Fleeting copy of Morgana in hand each round.
- Doubles your spell output in the late game.
Strategy
This build focuses on extreme spell efficiency and consistency. Echoing Spirit guarantees Morgana is drawn early and reduces the cost of her champion spell, making it highly spammable when combined with her 4-star Spellslinger power.
The Grand General's Counterplan provides the necessary spell generation for consistent control. Players must manage their hand space carefully, as the Invoke mechanic combined with Chemtech Duplicator can quickly fill the hand and cause you to burn drawn cards.
Giant Stat Stick
Provides Overwhelm, Regeneration, and Challenger, allowing her to close out the game quickly.
Provides massive stat scaling when doubled.- Doubles the effect of Hymn of Valor for explosive growth.
Strategy
This build addresses Morgana's notoriously slow win condition by turning her into a massive threat. By stalling until 6 mana, you can play Morgana and cast Hymn of Valor, which Chemtech Duplicator will double for exponential stat gains.
Chosen by the Stars provides Overwhelm and Regeneration, allowing her to close out the game quickly with direct Nexus damage and massive lifesteal. If Morgana is removed, you can let her die and replay her to stack the doubled Hymn of Valor buffs again.
C6 Found Fortune Control
Reliably draws Blind Mystic (a 4-cost silencer) and reduces its cost to 0.- Increases the consistency of drawing Morgana and reduces the cost of her spells.
- Provides a steady stream of Dark Bindings every round.
Strategy
Designed specifically for a 6-star Morgana, this build leverages Found Fortune to consistently draw Blind Mystic, providing a 0-cost permanent silence to neutralize high-priority enemy followers.
Echoing Spirit and The Grand General's Counterplan work together to ensure you have a constant, low-cost supply of champion spells to maintain absolute board control while your 6-star power scales your board's attack stats.
Zoe Specialized Control
Zoe Specialized
Provides consistent spell mana refill for continuous curse application.- Generates a Fleeting copy of Morgana each round.
- Offers immediate board clear and massive Nexus healing upon playing Morgana.
Strategy
This build is tailored for the grueling 10-star Zoe adventure, focusing on mana sustain and board wipes without relying on Epic relics. Archangel's Staff ensures you always have the spell mana required to cast your generated Dark Bindings and curses.
Wicked Harvest is critical for managing the wide boards of Poros generated in this adventure, while simultaneously healing your Nexus to full. Use Equinox (obtained via Invoke) to target and remove units with Deathless, as it bypasses their revive effect.
Other Relic Options
Excellent for scaling her stats and gaining keywords like Spellshield from drafted allies, helping to close out games faster.
Provides crucial protection against removal and crowd control, especially in adventures with heavy disruption.
Good for early deployment and stat scaling, especially when paired with Swain's Raven Army for a Turn 1 drop.
Synergizes well with her spell-based stat buffs, significantly speeding up her gameplay.
Combines with Packed Powder to enable a Turn 1 Morgana deployment.
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
This upgrade is highly impactful. By granting Spellslinger to reduce the cost of her spells, it allows her control tools to be played much earlier and more frequently, effectively eliminating her mana issues when combined with cost-reducing relics like Echoing Spirit.
Manaflow
Game Start: Get a mana gem.Review
Providing an extra mana gem is a significant tempo boost, allowing Morgana to be deployed as early as turn two. This is crucial for establishing early board control in higher-difficulty adventures.
Share My Torment
When you Curse an enemy, grant allies +1|+0.Review
Players disagree about Morgana's 6-star power. Some consider it a necessary quality-of-life upgrade that drastically speeds up her slow win condition by providing much-needed attack stats. While others find it underwhelming, noting that it only buffs units currently on the board, which contradicts her typical strategy of maintaining a small, controlled board.
Gameplay Tips
- Targeting Bypasses Spellshield
Morgana's curse application triggers on any spell that targets an enemy, including multi-target spells. Because the curse is applied via her champion power and not the spell itself, it bypasses Spellshield entirely.
- 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.
- Wicked Harvest Sustain
Morgana's innate lifesteal applies to the damage dealt by Wicked Harvest. Playing her will heal your Nexus for massive amounts, allowing you to easily recover from early chip damage and making her incredibly resilient.
- 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.
- Avoid Discard Powers
Do not take adventure powers or items that force the enemy to discard cards (like Brain Worm). 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 requires for her expensive spells.
