How to win lane as Morgana against Karma · 50.43% win rate over 3,851 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Karma | Karma's Mantra-Q out-ranges and out-pokes your single Q at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Karma | At 2 her empowered poke and W-tether keep her ahead of your lone Q. |
| Level 3 | Karma | Level 3 she still out-harasses you with Mantra pressure. |
| Levels 4-5 | Karma | Through 4-5 her poke zones you off the wave before your six spike. |
| Level 6 | Morgana | At 6 your R all-in with Black Shield beats her disengage-only kit. |
| First item | Morgana | First item your Q+W kills through her shields faster than she pokes. |
| Two+ items | Morgana | By 2+ items Black Shield blanks her root and your Q+R out-values her. |
Karma out-pokes you 1-4: her Mantra-empowered Q (Soulflare) hits hard from range and her W tethers for sustained damage while your Q is your only answer on a long cooldown. Don't trade autos into her poke — you'll fall behind. Farm safely, hold Black Shield for her Q, and wait for your six spike rather than forcing an early fight you can't win.
