Guide to Countering Morgana as Vel'Koz

Tips for Playing as Vel'Koz against Morgana

Be very careful about when to use Life Form Disintegration Ray. Many champions have abilities that can interrupt the spell.

Shooting Plasma Fission diagonally and splitting at maximum range allows you to hit opponents that are out of the range of the initial missile, but is more challenging to pull off.

When laning, use Void Rift to kill minions while building stacks of Organic Deconstruction on your opponent. You can then follow up with your other abilities.

Advice to Win Against Morgana

Tormented Shadow deals tons of damage to units missing large amounts of Health. When low on Health, be wary of Morgana's attempts to trap you within its reach.

Black Shield makes Morgana immune to disabling effects, but can be broken with magic damage.

Morgana often needs to land Dark Binding to setup her other attacks. Use your minions as shields against Dark Binding.
