Guide to Countering Morgana as Nasus

Tips for Playing as Nasus against Morgana

Paying attention to last hitting with Siphoning Strike will have a large impact at the end of a game.

If you're solo, Spirit Fire is a great way to farm a lane. It can be bad if you're in a lane with 2 and you push too far. Find the right balance between Siphoning Strike last hits and AoE farming.

If you have low defenses, people will focus you down even during your ultimate. Try buying some survivability items even in your DPS builds.

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.
