    Nautilus tips:

    • While ganking, consider aiming Dredge Line at nearby terrain and following it up with Riptide for a higher hit rate.
    • Riptide has a delayed blast timing on activation - you can use this while running away or when enemies are incoming to serve as a deterrent.

    Playing 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.
    • Morgana often needs to land Dark Binding to setup her other attacks. Use your minions as shields against Dark Binding.
    • Black Shield makes Morgana immune to disabling effects, but can be broken with magic damage.
