1. Morpling's Story

~Back to Table of Contents

The Morphling, nature's magnum opus, the pinnacle of evolution, can force his liquid body to flow over opponents in a massive wave, forcibly moving himself as well as injuring his enemies. At a whim he may change the composition of his body, trading strength for agility and vice versa. Capable of manipulating his energy into either disable or damage based on his strongest attribute, the Morphling's most disturbing ability creates a literal clone of a chosen target, forcing them to face their own reflection as he crushes them in their confusion.

2. Morphlings Introduction

~Back to Table of Contents

Morphling is a great ganker/killstealer. And he can also carry lategame, because of Morph and Adaptive Strike. It's a great combination. Also when Waveform can be used for farming a bit later. If you don't like to play a carry, you don't want to play him, if you don't like to gank, well, you can still play him, if you want to afk farm, and flee with waveform if you see incoming enemies.
All these things does that he's a great hero, that just want to be played.

4. Morphlings Skill Usage

~Back to Table of Contents

Waveform
Morphling dissolves into his components and surges forward, dealing damage to everything in his wake.

Notes
- This is your ganking/farming (Lategame)/lasthitting enemy heroes/fleeing spell.
- It gives you invulnerablity when you use it, but you can't control Morphling while using it.

-> Read more information on hero page

Adaptive Strike
Blasts a target with magical energy, dealing damage and disabling the target based on the Morphling's dominant attribute between Agility and Strength.

Notes
- This is a ganking/juking/carrying/chasing spell.
- It can do up to 3x agi as dmg. This is the reason carrying.
- It can stun up to 3 sec. This is ganking. Also why it can be used as chasing/juking.

-> Read more information on hero page

Morph
The Morphling edits his physical being to fit the circumstances. He can, at will, lose some strength and gain agility, or vice versa. The process is reversible.

Notes
- This gives you the ability to gives you a tank utility, even though it's not recommended.
- If you are low on health, from getting ganked, and you are chased. Auto use it, it will increase your health when you use it. It've saved me alot of times.
- Can give you insane agility/armor with it. You can do loads of damage, but not recommended to spend all the morph points to it, without HoT/Satanic. Because you die like a bug then, with 500 hp.

-> Read more information on hero page

Replicate
SThe Morphling has the unique ability to replicate any target friendly or enemy hero. Although it only deals 50% damage, the hero can morph into his replication, instantly taking its position.

Notes
- You can either do extra damage with it, or confuse your enemy. I used it once on a teammate and pretended I was him. A flying ES came and used his combo. Of course this was a pub and we all had a good laugh.
- It also gives you mobility, which also includes better farm if you are on Vent/TS or where you speak, else it wont work as well.

If you need more stun, go adaptive strike, but it's not that recommended to go further lvl 1 in it first, because you'll spend to much mana on Morph then, which takes alot.

6. Morplings Item Build

~Back to Table of Contents

Starting Items

575 gold.

Slippers for early agility -> Easier to last hit. Tango and heal is for more exp, you can stay more in lane. Cirklet gives early stats, and together with Slippers you can make Wraith, which is a part of your core. Clarity Potion for more mana. You had no money to something else, so this is better.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Your Core

This is for ganking, because you need the hp from Wraith (You can just change some more with Morph then) and str Treads for ganking. More stun on your adaptive strike. Mana from bottle is used by all gankers, and is indeed a good item on this hero, because it have loads of problems with mana. If you get alot of kills. BoT will also be good, for more mobility, and since you got terrible movespeed, it solves that also, only if you get alot of kills and your teammates needs you to be there.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Luxuries

- It gives 10 to str and int, you got mana problems, so okay, also gives str, which can be converted to agi if you feel like not dying and need the extra damage. And the 26 agility is awesome for all agility heroes. Get it early, and you got a good chance of getting some kills. At last there is also illusions, they do damage and when you use it, you can dodge some stuns and spells there is flying at you.

- You can change your all your str to agi if you know they don't got any nukers. Str is good for you. It gives alot of str.

- Gives you great stats. Also agility is very good for Adaptive strike. It's also an 'anti carry' item. Because you can like Ghost Scepter, become invulnerable for physical attacks.

- Faster attack speed, agility and damage, it's awesome all of it.

- Gives faster attack speed to you and your team. Also it gives a lot of armor, which reduces physical damage. Good for other carries on your team and the others team, as it also reduces attack speed.

- Should be the latest item you get, because there is alot of things there is better, and the crit is better with other items, but definitly a good item to get.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Situational Items

- If you need an extra slow.

- If someone got a single target stun (Sven/Lion etc.) Or one click kill (Doom, Magina etc.).

7. HERO'S Strategy

~Back to Table of Contents

Early Game

Hold your lane, don't go away.
- You are not the kind of ganker that can gank from lvl 1, you have to wait to at least lvl 7, where you max'd Waveform.
FARM
- You are ranged, and a good animation. Just last hit and deny until you're needed to gank the other lanes.

Mid Game

Gank
- You can gank here. But be aware of incoming ganks if you stayed a lane and farmed. Say to your support that he should put wards into your forrest and at rune.
Farm
- You can still farm in mid game, since you got carry utility you should stop up from ganking sometimes, to farm a bit, then go gank again after you got your core.

Late Game

Kill the enemy to the win
It's now you can do alot. You know how? Well, you shall NOT initiate a battle with alot of your str morphed to agi. If it's the other way around, it's not that big of a problem, because you can survive a bit then. I would recommend to have some agi morphed to str in the start, and then morph you str to agi when chasing/during the battle, when you got away from initiating.

7b. Morphlings Key Points

Be at your allies
Don't go to long away if you don't have a replicate in another safe spot. You will get killed if you are silenced. Dead water is no good.

Map awareness
Like above, don't get kiled, get your supporter to ward the map a bit.

Get gold
Not just by farming, but also roaming with your allies, it's better than never before, you get ca. 100 gold for being close to the dead enemy. And you should kill some enemies with Waveform.

8. Morphling Hero Synergy

~Back to Table of Contents

You are a carry, so those who can babysit and help gank/roam are good allies.

He's an early game roamer and lategame tank. It's what you need! And a good disable there gives nice damage.

Are a good laner for you. He doesn't need that much farm, and also gives you vision. He got a great disable and is just awesome for you later on, as he initiates and you waves in, then your team comes raping them.
