| Level 3 | Karma | Level 3 RQ burst hits Morgana who cannot shield her ADC from it. |
| Levels 4-5 | Karma | Mid-lane RQ zoning punishes every Morgana step-up for farm. |
| Level 6 | Karma | Level 6 Morgana's R is short-range and telegraphed; RE speed disengages it. |
| First item | Karma | Two-item Karma's RE peel pulls the carry out of Soul Shackles reach. |
| Two+ items | Karma | Full build Karma's range plus disengage keep her ahead of Morgana's telegraphed ult. |
Karma out-pokes Morgana comfortably: Inner Flame is wider, shorter-cooldown, and easier to land than Morgana's slow single-target Q. Just walk laterally to make Morgana's binding whiff and keep chipping her health. Morgana has no ally protection early beyond Black Shield, so Karma's constant Q pressure snowballs the lane. Your poke is wider, cheaper and easier to land than her binding, so trade freely and stay off the line. Trades you win here also buy your next empowered rotation. One piece of your rotation gets eaten by her shield, so draw it onto your ADC first and land the rest afterwards.
