Guide to Countering Morgana as Annie

Tips for Playing as Annie against Morgana

Molten Shield is a good spell to cast to work up to Annie's stun, so sometimes it's beneficial to grab at least 1 rank in it early.

Striking killing blows on minions with Disintegrate enables Annie to farm extremely well early in the game.

Storing a stun for use with her ultimate can turn the tide of a team fight.

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.
