The jungle race — the windows in Evelynn's plan

Read from Evelynn's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Morgana.

StageReadWhy
Level 1 ClearRespect MorganaThe W camp-melt is elite tempo, and Evelynn has no clean answer to it at the first buff — a three-second Dark Binding root in a jungle corridor is a death sentence. Track the Q cooldown — once Binding whiffs she has nothing to stop you, and give up your opening camps rather than the kill.
Level 2 SkirmishRespect MorganaThe window on the second camp belongs to Morgana: Black Shield protects a teammate's gank. Your own line is real — keep clearing cross-map; every avoided fight is a won fight right now — but it arrives second here. Track the Q cooldown — once Binding whiffs she has nothing to stop you, then refuse the level-2 skirmish.
Level 3 RouteRespect MorganaAt level 3 this window belongs to Morgana: Black Shield protects a teammate's gank, and a three-second Dark Binding root in a jungle corridor is a death sentence. Track the Q cooldown — once Binding whiffs she has nothing to stop you. Give up the level-3 river fight and bank tempo on the opposite side of the map.
Levels 4-5 MacroEven — Farm & TrackLevels 4-5 are a stalemate vs Morgana — match their clear speed, keep river vision, and bank gold for the level-6 window instead of coin-flipping.
Level 6 BreakpointDemon Shade FavouredDemon Shade camouflage means you choose every post-6 fight — and they cannot. Morgana's six is not empty — the Shackles' delayed second stun wins any fight you let run long near her. Take the duel from even health rather than from behind, and break the tether range immediately — the second proc is the kill.
First Item SpikeLich Bane / Stormsurge SpikeCompleting your core AP component turns your stealth lane transitions into lethal, instant-delete sequences against any squishy target configuration. Your camp clearing velocities become completely automated, letting you clean up sides in seconds before melting down lonely targets inside the river lanes. Use this spike to force immense tracking panic across their entire map space. Morgana's first item makes the binding-into-zone rotation a real chunk instead of a set-up for somebody else.
2+ Items ScalingEvelynn Favoured — Wins LateMorgana falls off relative to you — from two items on you win the raw stat check, even though the utility wins her fights, not the damage — Black Shield plus a binding is the whole threat. Drag the game long and force the 1v1s.

How to beat Morgana as Evelynn: the first clear and pathing

Start on Raptors so Hate Spike (Q) can hit the pack for its full multi-hit line before you continue a full clear toward the river on the opposite side from Morgana's known position. Morgana has no dash, so she can't cross the map to invade quickly — the risk is a long-range Dark Binding (Q) if you wander into her sightline. Morgana clears very fast with Tormented Shadow and stays healthy off her passive, so her early tempo is better than it looks.
