Farming
1.1Nocturne

Nocturne and Morgana farm at nearly identical rates in this matchup, with only a 0.1 CS/min difference. Neither champion holds a meaningful farming advantage, so lane dominance will come from trading and jungle interaction rather than CS leads.
Damage
658Nocturne
765Morgana
Morgana heavily out-damages Nocturne by 106 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Nocturne should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Morgana's sustained damage advantage take over.

1.8Morgana
Nocturne brings significantly more crowd control than Morgana, with 4.3 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Nocturne far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
1,371Nocturne
1,110Morgana
Nocturne vastly out-sustains Morgana, healing and mitigating 260 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Nocturne can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Morgana is forced to recall.
