Guide to Countering Nautilus as Morgana

Tips for Playing as Morgana against Nautilus

Tormented Shadow is an excellent farming tool if you're by yourself in a lane.

Shrewd use of Black Shield can determine the outcome of team fights.

Items that provide survivability allow Morgana to become extremely difficult to kill in conjunction with Black Shield and Soul Shackles.

Advice to Win Against Nautilus

If Nautilus uses Riptide right next to you, hold in place until the ripple effect finishes before running. Running early will run straight into the secondary explosions, causing you to take additional damage and slow.

While Nautilus is shielded, he is capable of dealing large amounts of area of effect damage with his basic attacks - consider taking down the shield if you have time.
