Outpokes you, pressures you early, has an escape, and also tick damage/AOE damage that zones you extremely hard.

Silences her out of her one and her ultimate, and morrigan cannot easily escape his ultimate. You also instantly take multiple ticks of damage if transforming while standing in his ultimate walls.

2 Knockups to cancel her one and her ultimate, 2 movement abilities that allow him to easily juke her stun and punish her. SO annoying.

Stops you from diving as easily, but isn't as much of an issue as most people would assume. He's very easy to poke out and doesn't do much in a teamfight compared to other picks.

His 2 instant procs morrigan 2 if he buffs her with it. Not much of a transform oppurtunity as you spend 1s transforming as morrigan, then spend another 2s transforming a fafnir, and then you have 7 seconds to play as an anorexic dragon.

Strong Crowd Control, easily can proc multiple Dark Omen's in a single fight, and also a GREAT high pressure transform for Morrigan that also provides safety.

Allows you to easily dump kit and then safely deal damage with your Bat Out Of Hell. Also a pretty good transform at all stages of the game. Non-existent CC though, and a lot more single target than some of Morrigan's better transforms.

Very good in games where you're playing more as a backline than a dive god. This transform is obviously not a diving transform, but late game a double Centauras can wipe out an entire enemy team by itself.

Very good transform for morrigan at all stages of the game. Also allows you to deal your burst damage and then immediately ult out. A lot less CC than other transforms like Hun Batz or Susanno, but being able to ride your horse forever while you're transformed is pretty cool.
Array ( [god] => Array ( [god_id] => 121 [display_name] => Lancelot [url] => lancelot ) [scoreVal] => 2 [notes] => Very good transform for morrigan at all stages of the game.

His ring toss is very good at proccing morrigan 2. He also constantly burns beads allowing morrigan to get her Ne Zha ultimate off for free.
Array ( [god] => Array ( [god_id] => 34 [display_name] => Ne Zha [url] => ne-zha ) [scoreVal] => 2 [notes] => His ring toss is very good at proccing morrigan 2. He also constantly burns beads allowing morrigan to get her Ne Zha ultimate off for free. ) 1
Double Neith Ultimates one shot. That's it.
Array ( [god] => Array ( [god_id] => 30 [display_name] => Neith [url] => neith ) [scoreVal] => 2 [notes] => Double Neith Ultimates one shot. That's it. ) 1
His kit is just an extremely good kit dump for Morrigan. Since you're maxing Morrigan 2 early game, your Ravana transform is close to useless early, which is why he isn't as high.
Array ( [god] => Array ( [god_id] => 67 [display_name] => Ravana [url] => ravana ) [scoreVal] => 2 [notes] => His kit is just an extremely good kit dump for Morrigan. Since you're maxing Morrigan 2 early game, your Ravana transform is close to useless early, which is why he isn't as high. ) 1
*Hears Lightning* What's that noise? Double Thor deleting your backline. Doesn't allow you to easily kit dump on the backline, making this transform a little less safe than some of the other ones.

Easily procs Dark Omen, has her 3 that allows morrigan to get in and out of sticky situations. Morrigan also has full Omi when first transforming into a Yemoja, allowing you to instantly spam Yemoja heals and then ult, allowing you to spam even MORE heals/shields, which can really help out a fight.

This transform allows you to quickly rotate, and with a maxed out taunt mid game, you can greatly impact a fight with a quick transform. Athena as your support is a lot worse as you don't have much follow up for her taunt, and if she starts channeling her Ultimate onto you before you transform, you can transform and cleanse off her Ultimate, consuming her Ultimate and causing her to teleport in place.

Why Chronos Pendant?
Morrigan abuses Chronos Pendant's passive really well due to her high CD Ultimate. She also can poke very well due to her 2 being on a very low CD, but it doesn't do too much damage unless you or another teammate procs the debuff applied to the target. This is why I build Chronos Pendant, and time my 2's so that I get the Chronos reset while my 2 is on cooldown to get maximum value out of the item.
Why Conduit Gem over Sands of Time?
Morrigan's early clear is a lot worse than most mages as her clear has recently been nerfed, and her 2 is her only ability that you're using on wave most of the time. Conduit Gem helps relieve some of that issue by giving you a bunch of extra true damage. Conduit gem also helps you secure mid-camps a lot easier as Morrigan's secure is lackluster compared to most mages you're going to be fighting in mid-lane. Pendulum of The Ages gives us 20% CDR and 190 power, so this is basically a Chronos Pendant with bonus power. Since Morrigan struggles a lot more with diving in this meta, especially with Tablet of Destinies mages zoning her, and this map being overall harder to navigate as an immobile god, I find that the extra 15% movement speed from Gem Of Focus is invaluable. Gem Of Focus also gives us 15% extra damage ACROSS THE BOARD, which includes our Soul Reaver procs which are normally only affected by penetration, so this helps Morrigan poke down tanks a lot easier.
When should I buy Divine Ruin?
I personally buy it EVERY GAME, as most enemies are bound to have some form of healing and most other anti-heal options you can have on your team aren't as easy to apply as Divine Ruin. It also recently has gotten a buff that adds an arcing damage proc which actually does a decent amount of damage when combined with our fully stacked Gem of Focus. You can definitely swap it out with another item such as Spear of Desolation, Rod of Tahuti, etc. if you REALLY believe that the anti-heal would be less valuable. I just find that since Morrigan's poke isn't as burst-heavy as some other mages, the anti-heal allows her to do better poke damage over time rather than allowing a hunter with Asi for example to easily heal back from her poke.
I have multiple videos on MANY of Morrigan bugs on my YouTube channel @Mytharria. I'll eventually update this guide and add them all here, but for now I'll just link my YT.
TRANSFORMATION TIPS
Most of your transformations that you'll be spamming are gods that have a high impact ultimate that are also very quick to impact a team fight. Due to Morrigan ultimate only lasting 10 seconds, you're going to want to get the most out of your transforms. A few examples of some good all-around transforms are Hun Batz, Guan Yu, and Ravana. These transforms allow Morrigan to dive easily with her transform after using her 2nd ability to poke. One thing to note is that Morrigan transform is NOT CC-immune. You can get stun-locked out of your ultimate very easily. You also cannot use beads with your ultimate selection wheel open, so if you start transforming and you think you're going to get CCed out of it, it's best to pre-beads.
SITUATIONAL
There are some specific situations in which you need specific transformations. For example, Morrigan doesn't have much objective secure so if an objective is being contested by the enemy team or the enemy team has started an objective, you can transform into the enemy Scylla to try to secure/steal it. Another example is transforming into Thor to quickly rotate and gank the enemy ADC that is invading your team's purple buff. A thing that I like to do before every game is to identify every good or situational transformation in the lobby. Do they have any global transforms? Any secure transforms? Who's going to be my comfort/safety transform?
Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
