Guide to Countering Morgana as Azir

Tips for Playing as Azir against Morgana

Be a bird!

In the lane, try to position your soldiers between the enemy's minions and the enemy champion. This way you can use them both to last hit and to project threat onto your lane opponent.

Be careful about putting down both of the soldiers stored by Arise! Unless you're going all-in, always have a soldier in your back pocket if you need to escape over a wall or if you misposition your other soldier and need damage now.

Think of Emperor's Divide as a defensive ability first and foremost. Use it when the enemy engages on you or your allies. Remember that your team can walk through the soldiers summoned by Emperor's Divide and use this to your advantage when enemy melee champions engage on you.

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.
