How it works

General
  1. You play as Mage building Burn items.
  2. You rush Liandry's Torment.
  3. You burn your enemies. With DOTs. And debuffs.

How to play

General
  1. Playing AP Burn Morgana build, your default rush is Liandry's Torment vs. HP, Blackfire Torch vs. squishes. Then get the other item
  2. Adapt to an enemy team. Are they full of tanks, and they rush tons of Magic Resist? You rush Void Staff as #2 or #3 item to counter MR stacking. Their team has champs with lots of healing? Rush Oblivion Orb as #2 item (upgrade to Morellonomicon as 4th or 5th item).
  3. Items like Morellonomicon or Oblivon Orb are extra effective with this build, thanks to damage over time effects from Liandry's Torment.
  4. In some rare cases, when an enemy team has an extremely strong shielding, you can even buy Serpent's Fang. It works with your DoTs, meaning shield reduction lasts longer.
  5. They have lots of melee? Or you just want to kite them? Get Rylai's Crystal Scepter.
  6. Somebody is going after you each fight? Always getting ulted by enemy assassins? Rush Zhonya's Hourglass.
  7. If you are doing well, are ahead and want to have some fun, you can buy The Collector item. It works off your damage over time effects!
Morgana AP Burn specific
  1. This is another take on Liandry's Morgana build. With this one, you focus on empowering your Tormented Shadow (W).
  2. Throw your W under unsuspecting enemies. With items recommended in this build, it really hurts.
  3. Last Stand is an important talent that does tons of damage. It has a lot of hidden power. You can manipulate your HP to be most of the time within damage buff. It is risky, however with this build, you have an option to almost never ever go in. Also, you can heal up with your Passive.

Tips and Tricks

General
  1. Black Shield is an excellent buff. Keep that for your carries, or when you go in Mark / Flash to Soul Shackles everyone.
  2. You can heal and get some sustain with your Passive. Just use Dark Binding (Q) on super or siege minions. This also works with your Tormented Shadow (W)
Riot
  1. Shrewd use of Black Shield can determine the outcome of team fights.
  2. Items that provide survivability allow Morgana to become extremely difficult to kill in conjunction with Black Shield and Soul Shackles.
  3. Tormented Shadow is an excellent farming tool if you're by yourself in a lane.
