Tips Against Wukong in the Jungle Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
MiniBlue says “Balanced matchup; Both you and Wukong have a good damage and team fight potential.”
Shekar says “Wukong is an even-to-favorable matchup for Ivern. Early on, Wukong’s Q poke and E engage can pressure Ivern, but his burst is predictable and he is vulnerable to crowd control. Ivern can use Rootcaller (Q), slows, and Daisy to punish overextensions and control fights.
Wukong’s R (Cyclone) can be dangerous in teamfights if he catches multiple targets, but Ivern’s shields and CC can mitigate his impact and peel for carries. The matchup is largely about timing, positioning, and punishing misplays, if Ivern lands Q and chains Daisy properly, Wukong becomes much less of a threat.
Overall, this is a manageable matchup that favors Ivern.”
ludenbergangel says “Very viable ban. Extremely obnoxious and beats you unless he's behind. He drops your frenzy and chases well with his W, just try avoiding him and getting ahead however you can”
EddeEken says “He can outduel you early and disrupt your resets with his knock-ups, but if you survive to two items, you outscale him easily in extended fights”
Arctic Arrow says “On paper, Wukong should win — he can disrupt your engage, clone-dodge your W, and CC-chain you with ult. But most Wukongs misplay their combos, making the matchup much more forgiving. If he wastes W–E–R early, you get 20 seconds of free pressure to run him down.
🧠 Gameplan Summary
✅ Track his W cooldown — once it’s used, he’s completely vulnerable.
✅ Punish after his engage — you can full-combo him twice before his abilities return.
⚠️ Avoid diving blind — his clone and ult can turn fights instantly.
✅ Catch him in bad positions — force fights when W is down or misused.
⚠️ Against perfect Wukongs, play slow and reactively — one good ult and he wins
”
Fyrrnix says “Very mobile.
Can shred your armor and gaining nearly 200 extra range on his next attack thanks to
[[Crushing Blow]] on top of that.
He'll knock you up with [[Cyclone]],
Hopefully you'll never see him in game as he is very dangerous”
lol_excalibur says “Difficult matchup as he can clone himself to dodge charm, easily ult you and chain CC you before you're able to ult back and he's tanky enough that you can't kill him. To beat him try to avoid teamfighting and focus on preserving your stacks so he can't go duel you 1v1.”
Hazardist says “Wukong can juke your important cooldowns with his W, so you must be patient in this matchup and engage smartly but also not wait too long, because he can access your backline very easily.
Runeset to take: Phase Rush.”
Cowsepu says “Death's Dance does a decent job of dealing with this guy, but double knock ups make team fights absolutely unbearable. Try to join late and build tankier items after BOTRK and Guinsoos.”
Reprobatus says “Block his (Q) [[Crushing Blow]] and (E) [[nimbus strike]] with your (W) [[spirit's refuge]]. Buy [[oracle's lens]] later on to not let him escape or out play you with his (W) [[Warrior Trickster]]. ”
Crow7420 says “[Rhaast Favored] Monkey is a direct counter to ALL AD based champs and Kayn is no exception, he is extremely slow on the map, but he is teamfight and duel god. Avoid at all cost and punish him off ULT CD.”
kittygore says “Dont engage him without full ferocity. He can win every 1v1 due to his passive so dont fight when its fully stacked. Dont jump on anyone if Wukong is around and has ult since it can block your leap (jump).”
chillhowl says “Ideally you don't want to pick Kindred against Wukong, but one way to play against him is to be totally reactive, only playing aggressive if another player has a wave advantage (to start a 2v1 before it becomes a 2v2 for example)”
SelfLOL says “Passive allows him to stack a lot of armor. Buy pen .Great Teamfight Can cancel u with r . Bola can reveal non clone. Root so he can't clone. Strong with lead. Can be difficult to 1v1”
Jackiewawa says “You outscale but he is pretty annoying to fight as Gwen due to his ult knockups + short invisibility so you can't auto him. Kite him out with E + ghost when he jumps on your and W when he all ins with ult. I honestly might start taking exhaust against him as he can kinda one shot you if he's ahead.”
DoxxTheLeague says “if he jumps r you just q r zhonya into w and then kite him you can see him even when he uses his clone with your passive burn hes strong and can easily kill you try to not fight him as much without a team in teamfights never group in one place so he cant ult more then 2 people at once.”
Ashu Primu says “His armor stacking passive and W make him impossible to duel. Fortunately, he's a weak clearer, so you can outscale by farming efficiently. ”
Neekster says “This champion clears slower than you. Like Viego, Wukong is very item reliant. It's a game of snowballing for the both of you. Full clear and gank more frequently to gather your space for objectives.”
Yomu says “Be careful of his W. This spells destroys us. Either he will hit W when you W1 and then you're hitting the wrong target or he will W your R before it hits. His double ult combo also bodies us. Overall just let him waste spells on someone else and PUNISH HARD. You do clear better and skirmish better in the jungle if he uses W for damage”
Baby_Driver says “My ban lately.
Bone plating in runes is crucial here.
Keep in my that he has two ways of dodging your Q, by his W and his E.
He reaches huge powerspike by lvl 6 so be aware of that.
Other than that it's just a very diffcult matchup so don't worry, I struggle with him too :)”
lolWillieP says “His clone will split your isolation q damage if you're not careful. Strongly recommend going pheonix tank instead of ad burst for this matchup”
Maciejson says “He is stronger than you early, so focus on farming and playing for your transformation. You can look to fight him with Rhaast once you've transformed, but it's best to run away if you're playing as Shadow Assassin. With the spike from Black Cleaver, you can start fighting him now. Be cautious of his W ability, which allows him to dodge yours, so use your abilities carefully and strategically.”
huncho1v9 says “Easy matchup. Wukong plays to farm early, and we do that better than him. He has a stronger 6 spike but we can kite him out pretty easily with Ghost + E. Use your W to tank his all in.”
L0ganJG says “Be careful of his W. This spells destroys us. Either he will hit W when you W1 and then you're hitting the wrong target or he will W your R before it hits. His double ult combo also bodies us. Overall just let him waste spells on someone else and PUNISH HARD.
You do clear better and skirmish better in the jungle if he uses W for damage”
Foxirion says “Wukong can be a moderate threat to Viego. Wukong’s clone can confuse Viego and disrupt his damage output. Moreover, Wukong’s ultimate knocks up enemies, which can interrupt Viego’s actions”
huncho1v9 says “- Easy matchup. Wukong plays to farm early, and we do that better than him. He has a stronger 6 spike but Wukong should never get 6 before Hecarim. Conq is better in this matchup and just make sure to not all in him without Q stacks when he has his 6 powerspike/sunderer spike”
Vamrine says “Wukong's decoy ability (W) can confuse Darius and disrupt his ability to land his abilities. Additionally, Wukong's burst damage can quickly overwhelm Darius in trades.”
AWierdShoe says “You should win trades every single level pretty hard up until level 6. Abuse that to the max. Slow-push level 1. Start doing short trades level 1 with empowered Q’s and your shield, and if you hit level 2 first then taunt in for a trade. If you don’t hit it first, just keep short trading with Q and save E until he commits or uses his W. Level 3 you win even harder if you use your W to block his Q. You have huge kill threat in this lane if you play trades well.
”
Fyir says “He can close distance on you really easily and then stun you to death with his ult. But in teamfights you can shut him down with good ball control.”
Mignognium says “Le singe n'est plus le roi de la jungle, vous ne l'êtes pas non plus malgré votre titre royal, mais vous êtes meilleur que lui. C'est un 50/50 mais attention a ne jamais le fitgh 1v1 alors qu'il a un ultime.”
RuinedJG says “He isnt good right now because of divines removal, take conq and beat his ass in river early. Shojin Tri force, you know the drill by now.”
jajkopajko says “He is in a really week spot currently i think and you can outdamage him most of the times, you also outscale quiet nicely and you should come out on top in most of the games.”
Daawwnn says “you are able to run down a wukong early on if he uses his clone try qing him while he is invisible and if he is low enough execute him with E”
basrty1p says “He jumps to you, knocks up you two times and you die so fast. That's what Wukong will do to you if you don't know how to counter him. Bait his clone first and prepare his E dash by using your E stun. Don't fight him at early game until mid-game, it's such a waste of time since his magic resistance is quite high. But after that you outscaled him so fast.”
SesaPrime says “The Monkey acts just like a Yi. Fight! Fight! Fight! If he's not fighting in the jungle, he is fighting his demons. Pre lvl 6 is all he will be doing with you & he may just all in anytime after 6. Be prepared. ”
garbocan says “Wukong is very scary for Ivern, especially if he gets a good flank off. Ivern is generally pretty bad at playing chaotic teamfights, and a good Wukong angle creates just that.
In the jungle matchup, Wukong isn't very difficult to countergank or skirmish against early. You can get away with just simple shielding and CC.
As a top laner, Wukong poses a lot more of a threat. If he's ahead, Wukong top will push out a sidelane and then drop out of vision and look for flank angles. This is detrimental for Ivern, since a good Wukong flank will deny Ivern of his clean front-to-back teamfights.”
PrestigeGalaxy says “Wukong can be quite annoying due to his W ability. His R is also a double knock up which ultimately will prevent you from using your spells and auto attacks. ”
Zero macro says “Briar has a fairly easy time against Wukong, due to Briar her stat check combined with armor removal + easy Gap Closer. On top of this, Wukong his clone can become a slight issue for Briar her Berserking and especially Briar R projectile. —> Briar her W Berserking can be changed targets with Q and will always maintain cleave on Wukong clone.
Briar and Wukong have both similar jungle clear speeds and early / mid game strength.
”
Tronnes says “This is a harder matchup. His passive build up armor during fights so try and have poke fights then back off. If he E W's on you hit the real one with W and do the combo and back off. You don't win AA battles with him. ”
OakIgu says “Wukong is annoying to deal with because of his armor reduction and also is very elusive so he can avoid you very easily, be carefull in times he is strong because he will cause lots of problems!”
el_kap says “can be difficult coz of ult and burst you need to be very good at kiteing his ability and combo burst plus can be very good in teamfights ”
DarkAuraLOL says “Annoying matchup, but you outscale. He has decent clear, his jump and W can be annoying for you to land your abilities, his passive gives him a lot of arrmor which can make you not able to one shot him. His knockup can be very annoying aswell. But generally after form, you should be fine.”
SYROBE says “If the wukong is really good he will make sure to use his Clone to tank your W. Its hard to pull off but if done well can really screw you over.”
TheBougis says “Wukong is not very good against you past early game, you can get free healing from his clone and he lacks damage overall.
Only downside is his plant taking speed thanks to his AA reset.”
Turnupthetoaster says “He can interrupt your leap with his ult, but that's the only thing you really need to be mindful of. Riot nerfed Wukong into the ground, so rarely ever will you see this champion anymore, and even if you do, he's not going to be that big of a threat. R.I.P. Monkey King, fly high.”
Zero macro says “Wukong is a dueling bruiser that stacks armor, and prefers to build divine sunderer. Thereby Zed has a hard time to compete with Wukong untill Zed has his armor shred items completed. Wukong also has decent mobility to catchup and dodge Zed.
Shred Zed is favourite over Burst Zed into this matchup”
metalhydra273 says “Skarner can't reliably stop Wukong from doing Wukong things, which is a problem when Skarner's whole niche is to prevent champions from working. Ult is unreliable as the Wukong can read it and use his clone, and his melee knockup obviously stops you from doing anything substantial until the damage is already done. You basically have to wait it out and hope your team survives before doing much, or catch him on cooldowns/sleeping. The 1v1 isn't terrible unless he's fed at least.”
Ezikko says “He has so much armor without any items, strong 1v1s with sunderer and a very strong teamfight knockup. Try to get a lead and help your team.”
shacolovesyou says “his early is weak so invade him, i recommend buy an early red trinket to chase him or just ignite him early and then duel, u can bait his R and keep in mind that he is a great teamfighter”
Waqql says “Don't try to play with the Monkey King, he tends to win trades. Instead, try to poke him with your Q and then trigger your W when he goes for last-hitting minions. As Mega Gnar, be cautious of his clone and his knock-up.”
Apari1010 says “Poop Kong is beyond annoying to deal with with his built in armor. You can't beat him 1v1. Gank opposite side of the map to him and pray he doesn't get fed. I recommend taking ignite for this matchup to go through his armor. Similarly to Shaco, When you hit him before he clones, your R will mark the real one.”
BradJr says “You can't really kill each other, because you both have amazing escapes. If you see him use his CDs, all-in him. You out-scale him eventually. (clone rating 7/10)”
ttvRegedice says “Wukong R is very hard to work around as Rengar. Don't fight him on his ult+1st item powerspike as that's his strongest point in the game (typically uses that to snowball into BC purchase.. then he becomes thanos), but you can beat him after your 3-4 item spike for sure. Tread lightly in extended trades as his passive gives him tons of armor/stacked conq that you can forget about in the moment. Bola(E) reveal can be pretty annoying for Wukong though, this matchup is more of a can-you-play-rengar-intelligently check than a difficult skill matchup.”
Borinn says “Early game is favorable for you but in the mid game and late game his tf is same/higher than yours. Try to counter gank him if you can as you probably will win 2v2.
His w is pretty useful for your w as it's gives you regen based on enemy number. I prefer going tank against him”
Virizion says “Same thing as graves. To mobile to fight and to tanky to kill in time. However if you do end up in a unfair fight vs him insta tether him so you can follow his clone if he tries to run”
quinn adc says “Early lane, save vault for Wukong E.
Wukong's E scales from 10 seconds to 8, while vault is 12 seconds level 1.
That means that Wukong gets his E up 2 seconds before your vault, so PLAY BACK after your vault is on cooldown after you counter his E and only get into range of wukong again when your vault comes back up.
Early laning phase you hard win, so no need to play afraid.
Wukong's W is a 20 second cooldown level 1, so if he ever uses his clone, you have a large window to get a kill.
When he combos you and he uses clone, re-engage on him and you should easily be able to run him down with ignite for an easy kill because wukong is useless without his clone/e dash.
He literally can't do anything. Be careful trading him after he dashes on you level 3 onwards because you don't want to hit his clone.
If your harrier mark vanishes, this means that Wukong used his clone!
Now, level 6 onwards, what you do is when Wukong engages on you, you want to vault on him AFTER he uses his ultimate first knock up and then run away. This is your best chance of survival.
Play back level 6 onwards though, the way wukong wins is if you get into melee range of him after 6.
Ideally, you want Wukong to engage on you with E first so that he wasted that dash at the start, so always play back level 6 and be cautious of his engage.
He will E you, then R/W.
Let it knock you up once, then E him right after the knock up to outrun the second one.
Your E pushes you back further than his W leap”
Hazardist says “Wukong will most likely avoid being hit by your Dark Binding by using his clone, but even in this case it's not a loss for you as it has a lower cooldown than his ability and he depends more on it to accomplish his job in skirmishes. Just try not to let him get too fed in the early parts of the game.”
ShinyEmo says “You destroy him when he's alone but if he's ahead or you are caught when his team is nearby then good luck. If he goes assassin build make sure to build early Death's Dance.”
1Strike says “This is pretty bad. If your teammates don't die and you don't you can outscale him. The issue is the moment wukong gets 1 kill. It is not playable for you.
His stacking armour and max health regeneration on his passive is a superior version of your E and far easier to stack. He sticks onto you easily with his E and then W. While outdpsing you the whole time. His R can cancel your dash and allow him to close the gap
You can't kite him and he beats you in the close quarters fight.
Don't die to him early. Don't draft full AD into him. and play cleanly..”
Narcissisticdude says “Wukong has been strong since pre-season, his damage is stupid high at 6 and he can hard carry team fights. Make sure to punish him early on as his first clear is slow, and he's pretty useless until he gets the funny Sunderer item.
Mechanical tips:
1. Ignite early so you know which is his clone.
2. Start a fight and the second he uses R run away. This will tilt him and he will follow you pretty much anywhere.”
Dabgren says “You need to stomp this ape early on or else he will snowball onto you, this guy wins every fight if you both are on 1 / 2 items IMO, his healing with divine sunderer aswell as base armor makes this fight very hard for you.”
Smudey says “Level 1 will be quite annoying with either his long range Q or his gap closing E that gives him AS, but once you reach lvl 3 and get your W, you can block his AAs and Qs with your W. Only go for short trades so he doesn't stack up his passive. His lvl 6 all-in can deal a lot of damage so watch out if you want to fight him post 6, but you can win the lane before that happens if you play properly.”
checca says “Wukong is fairly strong against Zac, as he has armor pen, invisibility, and his knockup. Unfortunately, if Wukong has his ultimate, there is always the possibility that he will cancel your E when you jump in. If you Q1 Wukong and then he uses his W, it will keep vision on the real Wukong. Using this to its full potential, you can pull both Wukongs together, making his W useless. Wukong typically builds Sunderer as his first item, which makes it very difficult for Zac to find an advantage. If Zac is ahead in gold, he can beat Wukong; if not, he will get outscaled and lose.”
Boptimus says “A good Wukong is hard to trade with but you can negate a lot of his damage with your W.
Wukong can use 2 rotations in the time it takes for your W to come back off cooldown so play your trades well. Bramble finds decent value in longer trades if Wukong took Conqueror. The main thing you need to watch out for is to never R his clone.”
winterapb says “dont ingage him without full ferocity. he can win every 1v1 due to his passive so dont fight when its fully stacked. dont jump on anyone if wukong is around and has ult since it can block your leap (jump).”
NegativePhoenix says “Even in All-Out thanks to his ult buff he still beats you in most full for kill engages. His Q hurts and he will most likely W if he cant walk dodge your Q3 so this might be a play safe scenario.”
Bhyure33 says “Haven't played much against him as he is somewhat new to jungle and somewhat rare. But he is really good at 1v1s, and he can easily escape you. While he can be a threat midgame if fed, you scale better.”
Xerath gaming says “Annoying monkey, E+Q+W and he basically trades without being traded back, best you can do is try your luck with E to kill him. You win if you ult the correct monkey”
spuki97 says “Hard matchup as you can never fight him. His main objective is to skip camps in order to abuse ganks. He can beat you even from behind. Best build: Bruiser only.”
Kao_Oak says “Tbh you can't 1v1 this champ because he has the unholy trinity of things that counters you (burst, cc and invis). You won't be able to deal him damage until he made his whole combo on you. Avoid 1v1 and try to bait his spells (especially W) before killing him.”
RengarNBush says “Annoying, He beats you most stages of the game. Can cancel your jump with his R. He has been nerfed repeatedly so he is more balanced now, but still poses the same threat to you. In a 1v1 you can win if you manage to jump on him with a rotation and chunk him a bit then wait for cds and jump again, if he doesn't R your 2nd jump you have a good chance of winning.”
Atemporal says “Tenha cuidado com o início do nível 1 E de Wukong, que pode atrapalhar você. Se você tem Q, você pode auto Q auto para não perder a negociação, mas se seu Q estiver baixo, você deve respeitar as negociações de E + autos. É difícil ganhar negociações no início do jogo, E fora
toda vez que ele vai para o comércio E - W - Q. Seu W é 80 de mana, que é 25% de sua reserva de mana inicial, então ele não pode spam essa habilidade. Você ganha negociações curtas se Wukong iniciar, Q, auto E para proc passivo e executar. Não force Q push porque
ele bate em você em negociações longas na pista longa. Relaxe durante os primeiros níveis, após a primeira base você já pode começar a ganhar porque Wukong geralmente é muito fraco contra campeões de dano mágico.”
Cheeseypops1 says “You just out stat this champ and stomp him if you ever hit E, Be careful about R'ing his clone because you will lose the fight if you do also the only time he can beat you is at Divine Sunderer if you miss a lot of your abilities, Rush Steelcaps”
Eagzey says “Becomes easier once you know how to play it. Get Sweeper and bait him to jump in. Once he does you can R and Oracle, wait for his W to end, and just combo. Patience (similar to Shaco).”
YuzukiJG says “Used to be a major threat before the nerfs, but now he’s even. He can gap close the distance from you but that still doesn’t give him the advantage over you. Try to kite him back and don’t run if you’re caught, as you won’t be able to without flash. Avoid if he has a red buff advantage or if you’re both low because he can sustain more than you. His clear is slow and so there will be multiple instances where u can invade him and punish him.
”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Do not try to execute Wukong if he still has his Warrior Trickster(W) available. This is because you may waste your execution on him and he will survive. Keep this in mind when trading too. Wukong wins a lot of auto attack battles, so don’t go for extended trades with him unless you can kill him. If Wukong has left lane after level 6, tell your team as soon as he leaves. He might be trying to use his Ultimate Cyclone(R) in a different lane too help his allies.”

DixonTheGuideMaker says “Place vision around his jungle entrances to make it harder for Wukong to get successful ganks off. Wukong has good objective control in the early game. Try to take it before him if possible, or at least keep it warded at all times so you can spot him before he is able to take it for free. Wukong is very strong in a 1v1 fight if he has lots of health. Avoid fighting him if you spot him when he is very healthy. Especially if he has his Ultimate Cyclone(R) available.”
Saltu says “Once he's lv6 make sure you have stat advantage, don't fall for the trick where he stands still but doesn't use the clone. RUSH AND KILL.
usually not worth fighting due to his good 1 vs 1 just do your thing till late, BUT don't let this MONKEY boss you around mkay?!”
Hazardist says “Wukong has more mobility, damage and native resistances than you so this matchup will depend on him not getting fed and spiraling out of control. In teamfights, be patient with your ult to avoid wasting it on his clone at any costs, then try to keep him away from your backline.”

lumihehe says “sure, you beat him late. but this champion is so incredibly broken early game right now, that he gains an early lead in like 90% of his games. he scales well into the mid game, but falls off late (which doesn't matter if he already has like 20 kills by mid game from farming your team like minions, which is way too likely with his current state in the meta)”
Salmon Kid says “With red smite this match up is basically a shutout however for Lillia however, Wukong's ult does counter Lillia and he has two movement options to land it in his e and w. He is also a strong jungler this patch and with his team can pose a problem for Lillia.”
Simple Shawn says “same as vi, deals damage and shreds armor, unless she builds full antiarmor, you should be good to go, at least enough to be able to fight
+ watch out knockup is bad for ur backline, take oracle lens”
Darksword255 says “Ban this champ. He can dodge you with his clone, CC you 2 times with his R, and still burst and out-sustain you. You can see him walking with ur W if hes low, the only time you can fight him is if his R is down. ”
Fapas16 says “PERMA BAN THIS CREATURE HOLY SHIT DEGENERATE LOSER CHAMP, SHOULD I ADVISE YOU TO GET SOME BITCHES IF YOU PLAY THIS UNORIGINAL BAD DESIGNED CHARACTER”
rhvse says “You can kill him before he get 2 completed items. Buy Death Dance as 3-rd. Don't 1vs1 him if he got his items. And be sure you are targeting him not his clone.”
just pick yone says “Will trade you with E lvl 1, u cant trade with him level 1, level 2 max E, if you want to win trade lvl 2 u have to hit your knockup and from lvl3 its hard to win.”
Blakbor says “Must ban.
He is so strong in the meta and outduels Diana + his ult has the same or more value than yours. Great fighter, great dueler, the best way to win vs him is not playing.”
imminences says “Just like Nocturne, early and mid game he is a menace. His R and his W make it hard to get away from him. His weakness is CC so wait for Wukong to use his E first and then throw a max ferocity E to root him.”
Blakbor says “Wukong is so OP this meta and Viego seems to be his natural contest (this first week in LPL and LCK). It's not Viego favored, but Wuk can't abuse of you neither, which is great watching how broken the monkey is”
lolkayleee says “[Grasp + Divine]
[Ignite + TP]
Start Q. If he doesn't have Lethal Tempo you can walk up to the wave and start charging up your grasp. aa-Q-Q if he goes for a minion, but if he goes on you first with his E -- make sure you don't auto him for your passive shield unless you get an armor shield (his E deals magic damage so wait for him to auto you after he uses E).
If he has lethal tempo you can start W. He will E onto you because he knows he will win level 1. Auto him for your shield and just keep walking away. W him in return after you have separation.
When hookshotting onto him. Hookshot a little past him because most Wukongs with dash backwards with their clone. If you hit them that's great, if you didn't then they dashed in a direction that puts them in a vulnerable position. When using your R or Ignite make sure he has already used his W so you don't accidentally waste your ignite/R.”
Boptimus says “This lane is FREE. A lot of Wukong players are blindly aggressive for no reason and end up getting chunked every time they try to E on to you. Prepare to E his E and combo him. Eventually they'll either get frustrated and fold or back off and let you do whatever you want with the wave.
A good Wukong builds Merc Treads and pokes with Q. You want to force a stalemate by keeping your E available only for when he jumps on you. Otherwise he can clone your E or just tank your E and THEN jump on you. VERY hard to deal with after he gets a kill or 2.”
P1Legend says “Not a big deal if you are aware that he will try to all in you at level 6. Deny him this by saving your heal, and Ulting away. You can kill him when his ult is down through smart usage of your skills.”
metalhydra273 says “Wukong is super annoying to deal with as a jungler mainly due to his w and ult. He can stall out your cc window for a while and be generally slippery, as you're either locked in knockup or waiting for his stealth to expire before you can do anything, after which it may already be too late. Since his w can go over walls now, in situations he can engage like a psuedo shaco and cause immediate disruption. Be patient if you go up against him, or just try to pick off his teammates in a way where he can't retaliate and give his team a window to win fights.”
Scratchyerik says “Monke simply outstats you and his Divine Sunderer spike will wreck you early on. Thankfully though you still outscale him and post 3 items you shouldn't be scared of him anymore if you don't get your W cancelled. If Monke sniffs an armor item best to grab that Mortal Reminder.”
HadesxLH says “Desde os ultimos buffs wukong tem aparecido bastante na jungle, porém ate agora nao vi nenhum que fosse um grande problema, mas acho que isso é devido ao fato que como ele entrou recentemente na jungle ainda nao há nenhum master a ele la, mas fique de olho para mais atualizaçoes porem ate entao nao vejo ele como um grande problema.”
OfficerVi says “Wukong is mostly a threat because of how strong he is. You should be able to invade him early as long as your lanes have prio. Sweeper is a MUST. Use sweeper as soon as he uses clone. It will outline his exact location. Use your ult to dodge the CC on his ult. Be careful not to ult him before he uses clone. He is more useful in teamfights so look to make picks on people out of position. Bruiser build is the best into Wukong. ”
NegativePhoenix says “This is another instance of an enemy who can early invade you and keep you in his preferred range. His E dashes to you, his Q slows and if you mark him he can just use his W to dodge the initial Q or use it to keep up with you since you're immobile, plus his ult will keep you where he wants. Overall unless you get ahead of him, he's gonna be showing you whos in charge. You'll know if he used W if you mark him and the mark suddenly disappears ”
Elekktro says “Wukong is now a jungler! I think Wukong has the potential to be strong but most junglers that I have faced recently don't know how to make Wukong work. Perhaps in the future I will move Wukong up this list, but for now I don't see Wukong as much of a threat.”
Sammystinky says “His ult knocks you out of E, but it is an important ability for him. Pinning him down can be hard with the clone, but you can sweep for it and use it to Q him. ”
7EyesNoSkills says “He can airborne you with his Ult. You can kill him with on-hit, but if you are going Draktharr he can be trouble for you after lv6.”
Kurose0027 says “Hard lane to pilot through if he takes ignite. Post 6, you are in lethal if you ever get poked by his Q once. After 1-2 items though, he will not be a threat anymore to you. You can win this matchup early by parrying his Q. Otherwise, just play it safe and farm it out, outscale him.”
qosmox says “You should win trades every single level pretty hard up until lvl 6. Abuse that to the max. Slowpush lvl 1. Start doing short trades lvl 1 with Emp Q’s and your shield, and if you hit lvl 2 first then taunt in for a trade. If you don’t hit it first, just keep short trading with Q and save E until he commits or uses his W. Lvl 3 you win even harder if you use your W to block his Q. You have huge kill threat in this lane if you play trades well.”
YoungTact says “You can W His W and E but his E is easier since you can literally see it coming, Respect his max passive/conq stacs so dont go for extended. Always apply lane harass combo when you can. ”
Hienaa says “His passive gives him a lot of armor, his R counters your engage, and he can win all in trades uncontested, just too tanky overall, and has more dps.”
Agatrium says “This is a tricky one. He gets free armor stacking, and the double knock-up on his Ult is fairly strong. Start spinning if he E dashes into you as almost every Wukong will E dash and instant W and look for the double Q with the clone. If you can W his Q, you actually win the trade pretty hard, but it is fairly difficult to read as the cast time is super fast. ”
White Cr0w says “Top tier jungler. Be aware of the monkey. I set a little advantage against him because I almost won matches against him. However, post 6 (so after min 7-8) he will be incredibly strong at ganking and skirmishes.
How to beat him? He has zero sustain on jungle earlygame, doesn't has a true escape apart of decay, he's incredibly squishy before lvl 6 and you can kill him easy after he uses his E + q to farm.
Bringing an early red trinket is a good idea against him.”
Polartech says “Rare match up, but really hard to manage, Wukong can dash on Kayle dealing a decent amount of damages, pocking her easily and without running risks leaving only his clone near her, in this way Kayle will waste mana and abilities for nothing. Play safe and preserve your ultimate for his ultimate.”
Sandor Clegane98 says “Started seeing some harambe wannabes in the toplane lately,ever since the reword he actually has gotten pretty strong and difficult to deal with especially with ignite, the only way to win all ins is making sure he had less hp than you and that's possible only with trades that are in your favor.
Dshield”
Da Mastah says “You wont see this pick a lot in jungle but he is hard to fight at most points in the game. Generally just try to avoid him post 6 due to his ult. Pre 6 he can be beaten as long as his passive isn't stacked. Deaths Dance is a good buy against this champ”
Pusi Puu says “wins extended 1v1 duo to his passive. Don't fight when he has fully stacked passive and try to engage the fight with full ferocity, otherwise he will win it almost every time. Play away from him later on since he can interrupt your jump and run you down. Don't jump on targets when wukong is around.”
Whynotbefriends says “Wukong is strong into AD junglers due to his passive, Nidalee is AP and can also reveal him while he is invisible if she lands a spear/trap. Be careful of jumping in as he can use his ultimate to cancel the movement and potentially outplay.”
KamiKZ says “This match up is Wukong favored. Wukong has a higher burst damage than you which makes it hard to win 1v1 against him as Graves. I recommend starting on the opposite side of the map and only try to 1v1 Wukong when ever you have a lead over him. I also recommend goin for deaths dance since that will remove a bit of his high burst damage.”
ak521 says “Potential to 1v5 with R, and in a duel, he will almost definitely win. Assassin that can also sneak to squishes. Can dodge your Bandage Toss with his W. But if you do hit it, he's dead (if your team is able to focus him for a second).”
Ellesmere says “Wukong is a fantastic ganker, but not very strong 1v1. You will win in a fight as long as you don't get juked by his clone. Make sure you don't let him walk around the map destroying your lanes though, because if left to his own devices that's exactly what he'll do.”
SketchtheHunter says “Pain. In. The. Ass. At every phase of the game this Vastayan son of a bitch has kill potential on you. He's got engage, disengage, reengage, was engaged (it's a long story sorry for stealing your joke Skooch.) He may not be played Jungle as much as he's played Top but be wary of anyone who locks him in.”
Suseri says “Early on, he can win trades due to his kit, but you can negate a lot of damage with your W. After level 6, it becomes tough to trade or kill him since he gains two knockups, which can quickly take you down. Consider getting Oracle's Lens to track him better.”
FrostForest says “Annoying but he can't dash out of your ultimate. His 1v1 is decent if you let him stack his passive on you.
Whoever gets the jump on each other wins the fight.
Shouldn't be an issue for you”
Mr. Popper says “Wukong trades very effectively into mini gnar early game where he can easily zone you from the wave at most points of lane phase if your not careful. He also has multiple ways to get to you with his dash on his E and his stealth dash on his W. Play safe play back and look to poke him down and then engage with mega gnar to finish him off. ”
Ejsner says “Wukong R is very hard to work around as Rengar. Don't fight him on his Divine Sunderer powerspike as that's his strongest point in the game (typically uses that to snowball into BC purchase.. then he becomes thanos), but you can beat him after your 3-4 item spike for sure. Tread lightly in extended trades as his passive gives him tons of armor/stacked conq that you can forget about in the moment. Bola(E) reveal can be pretty annoying for Wukong though, this matchup is more of a can-you-play-rengar-intelligently check than a difficult skill matchup.”
Vispectra says “Not a good lane for you I'm afraid. Wukong is AD and despite being a fighter , he acts more like an assassin being able to either kill you or set you up for a free easy gank with clone , dash into R. You will scale and eventually be able to kill him just be sure to not waste your abilities on the clone. Your R is aoe and so is your E take advantage of that to damage him when he clones.”
Amatzu says “Wukong is a pain in the ass for you be it in Top, or in Jungle. All of your gap closers besides Ghost mean nothing to his quick getaways, and he's sure to be more useful than you in a teamfight thanks to his ultimate. Facing a good Wukong is not gonna be a good time, considering his passive makes him stronger the longer you slap him.”
VeneficusFerox says “Although rare in mid lane, I've seen it and it hurts. He can sneak up on you and smack your ass and there is nothing you can do about it.”
Kindredgarten says “Decent jungler, make sure to ult before he can knock you up. You can get him low in your ult to kill him and kite him out after he uses clone.”
Loul_60 says “A bit like with Evelynn, it all depends on who catches the other by surprise. His combo leading into his ult can deal a lot of damage and then CC you, but your combo as either form is enough to shut him down or force him to run away. As Blue form he can one shot you easily but you can do the same. As Red form, you hit your W and you win, simple.”
liserith says “Wukong is really mobile. He has two dashes, an empowered auto, and an R with a reset. If you hold your Q for his E and your E for his W, you can fight him. The only thing you need is discipline to not be fooled by his W. ”
Gumipapucs says “You don't wanna F with this guy as he can easily engage on you, CC you and get away/juke you with his invisibility. You also cannot finish him if you have the upper hand because of the invisibility. Thankfully he's somewhat rarely picked in jungle.”
Shroomen Rider says “Wukong is pretty cheesy. He might escape or hit your team with a good ulty. Kite back and shroom during team fights, and save sweeper for his invis. ”
PsiGuard says “You can only block one of his Rs and it's hard to predict the timing. He can often just stat-check you with his own attack speed steroid. He also gains a bunch of free armor from passive and has better team fighting. Just focus on killing his team and using wards to prevent him from ganking or counter-ganking.”
DarkAuraLOL says “he has a bad clear, you can invade him, 1v1 him in jungle if he's low, he doesn't have much sustain so you should be fine, you have better ganking kit .”
KajiKumihoAkukei says “Reworked Wukong is very strong, even after all the nerfs he already received. Try not to burst him down until after he used his clone, because this allows him to get out pretty easy. ”
DarkAuraLOL says “he has a bad clear, you can invade him, 1v1 him in jungle if he's low, he doesn't have much sustain so you should be fine, you have better ganking kit .”
RedNBlue says “He can repeatedly dash back to you in a fight while you kite him but you can probably still kill him as you are just a slight bit too speedy for him.”
Snap0ner says “Top tier jungler. Be aware of the monkey. I set a little advantage against him because I almost won matches against him. However, post 6 (so after min 7-8) he will be incredibly strong at ganking and skirmishes. How to beat him? He has zero sustain on jungle earlygame, doesn't has a true escape apart of decay, he's incredibly squishy before lvl 6 and you can kill him easy after he uses his E + q to farm. Bringing an early red trinket is a good idea against him.”
Gym Nasiem says “If you know anything about sett you know that fast mobile champs make it look easy to bully sett but if you get the dead man's plate it should make it less hard so that's why it's at Major.”
NiroMcnuggets says “once u learn how to play vs wukong it becomes a pretty ez matchup as ur W cancels his E and W, so he cant do much (though try not to go into extended trades with him).”
CalicoCactus says “Wukong can be tricky to deal with, early to mid he can beat you pretty hard, and even late if he goes Sunderer and gets an armor shred item he can pose a problem, be smart and figure out when he uses his clone and be sure to CC the real Kong.”
FalleN3 says “Wukong's early game is not extremely good but if he has taken Electrocute can be quiet bursty. You should have no problem out-farming him but if he picks up some kills you can find yourself in real trouble. He will bring a lot more impact to team-fights than Master Yi so try to get ahead as much as possible early and finish the game quickly.”
Frixen says “He can all in you at any time in the game, you have some poke, however with his clones and stuff it's quite easy to mitigate it. Get Seeker's as early as possible to not die to him, and look to make plays outside of the lane.”
Twist21 says “Against Wukong I would recommend starting lens since you can spot him and not get tricked by his W which is the main thing about his kit.As long as you dont get fooled by his clone you should win.”
PsiGuard says “This champion is currently overpowered and is worth a ban. Try to split the map and fight where he is not, since he's a powerful skirmisher.”
M.P.C says “Go aggressive on him during early game and zone him from getting CS. If he uses his Decoy activate your Q immediately to search for him, if your R is up drop it on top of him and give him everything you got.”
Dopamine_influx says “Really annoying with redsmite, tabi, and ult. Get edge of night. Aside from that, you're way stronger early, so you can contest him on scuttles and snowball. If he snowballs, he can shit on you though, like most junglers anyways. Don't combo his clone and you wil win early. Reverse full clear into scuttle works well because he will start red most of the time, but if he starts blue, you can go red blue gromp red, since he quite often full clears. (but adapt your pathing if you see him going read early with a raptor ward for instance...)”
Stiwy says “He is a really good fighter and his damage in early game will prove me right.
His engage combo is always the same so you can predict where he is when he clones himself and land a Q.
After level 9 you can kill him, just don't be a stupid like me and don't shoot your ult at the clone because then you will get hard beaten by the monkey.
Start D.Blade or Cull here.”
Xeldom says “Difficult match-up. Wukong has many ways to cancel rengar's burst and will outscale rengar in 1v1's. Rengar's early game is stronger and clear is better however. Make sure to counter gank and snowball that into a lead. Use ultimate and bait the clone/ultimate before leaping on him.”
AWierdShoe says “Wukong has higher burst damage early, so you need to try to respect him. Kiting is hard as he can stick on you with his E. Watch out for him in teamfights as his R can bring the fight into his team's favor. I would bring Sweepers early to track him if he uses his W.”
DarkArbalist613 says “His Knockup can easily keep you from ulting, and his stealth from his clone can let him avoid a lot of dmg, so just kite him out and play around his clone and ultimate. Kindred and Wukong are evenly matched pretty much all game if one of them doesnt snowball, so its a heavy skill matchup.”
TotallyEclipse says “Slippery and annoying but you can win easy. Wukongs usually q after their e so e his q and get him to use his w. While it's down, you have an opening to kill him easily. If he uses his w and your e is up, you kill him even harder. Post 6 save your ignite and R for when he R's and he stands no chance.”
DarkPit59 says “Wukong est une réelle menace lorsqu'il obtient son objet Draktharr. En effet, cela deviendra une chasse sans merci entre vous et lui, et grâce à sa capacité à devenir invisible en plein affrontement, il le gagnera. Ne l'affrontez pas seul et le l'engagez que si son ultime a été utilisé.”
Thatskillz1291 says “Wukong is deadly until you hit lv 6 then you can 1v1 him”

SavageFy says “Wukong's damage, healing, mobility and clear time are an extreme threat for Amumu. You want to avoid him early game. Wukong often looks to invade Amumu's jungle early.”
Sorrowful Prince says “Monkey go brrrrrr. I don't think there is any gamestage where you are stronger than him. Maybe after minute 30 if you shadow a sidelane. Don't take even teamfights ever against this guy, he will be more valuable in them. Try to survive and hope for winning lanes.”
TrevorJayce says “Wukong's free armor as well as TWO AOE KNOCKUPS (what the fuck were they thinking) make Wukong a pretty hard matchup once he gets some damage in him. Try to not 1v1 him unless a laner can come assist you.”
Loki029 says “Silence to avoid his clone escape,silence to escape of his ult(always consider flashing !!He could Flash too so predict right!!! else if you build hybrit you will be tankier than wukong deal more damage and have a higher sustain than him ”
Nico449c says “Hes most likely the weakest jungler right now so you can invade him at lvl 3 or fight him at lvl 3. if you outgank or countergank him you will beat him too he cant do much in the jungle he gets really low clearing the camps”
DemonAngel60 says “Can use his Warrior Trickster (w) to bait your Ultimate then turn and use either a e - r - q - r or simple e -q -r - r combo tu burst you down”
KajiKumihoAkukei says “Reworked Wukong is very strong, even after all the nerfs he already received. Try not to burst him down until after he used his clone, because this allows him to get out pretty easy. ”
SeekerPTK says “Should be easy, you can reveal him with your e and when he wants to engage ult him out of your team when he starts ulting, this will make him useless, also if he uses his e defensivle try to follow with your q or w. Wards are key in this matchup.”
0kruemlmonster says “Your own student and friend has surpassed you. After Rageblade you can 1v1 him, before that he'll probably outtrade you everytime. Don't feed him, he's really snowbally.”
LFS_aXent says “Wukong is very elusive. Thankfully, you can crit his clone to get away. He will have no quarrels with diving you anytime, anywhere. He can easily kick your ass if you don't play correctly, and it will be tough. Try catching him ganking, ping target if he does, root him and have your laner damage him, so you can follow up.”
Mr. Nyahr says “Don't get baited or juked out by his clones, and dont let yourself get caught in his ultimate. You are just objectively stronger, he shouldn't be able to 1v1 you at any point.”
GROFITEER says “can lower your armor by massive percentages, even to the point of near zero. early kills will help keep him off of you, but once he maxes Q and gets his items he will cut through your armor like butter.”
Her0mars says “It gets pretty annoying playing against this guy mid-late teamfights just because His knockup applies before you can even land making it near impossible to hit your E in teamfights unless you let him knock you up, then charge up a slingshot.”
Hamstertamer says “Getting oneshot with 0 counterplay is just soo fun. Wait for him to ult someone else and snipe him from afar, he can't go invisible during his ult.”
SenorRopa says “All the enemy players are Bonobo Moneys and I would add all the champions to this list but Mobafire makes placing all the champions on here exhuasting. No one is a threat, move on to the next part of the guide. ”
PandaSenpai101 says “Wukong has a specific trade pattern that he does pre-6, and he has a trade pattern that he does post-6. His main source of damage is his Q, and he uses a E,Q,W combo. When he E's you, parry, to block his Q. His post-6 combo is E,Q,R,W, or E,R,Q,W. Parry after he uses his E. Keep in mind that if Wukong doesn't cancel his ultimate, he can't use any ability during his ultimate.”
MadMaster523 says “This matchup is pretty hard since he can point and click e q you. He has a gap closer so he is a pretty tough opponent. Try to poke him down with ur q and after he uses his combo auto attack him a few times since he will most likely just run away after his e q combo. ”
Jungle Kings Rage says “Monkey Is Kind Of Impossible To Beat Like Udyr. Though There Arent Many Monkey Players Out There So Theres Almost No Need To Ban Him.”
BubbaStudmuffin says “The only thing Wukong has on you is his clone. Just be sure that when you are ulting him it is the real him and not his clone. Ulting his clone will not active your ult but it will put it on cooldown. Essentially wasting your ultimate for nothing.”
BurstTheBots says “Dashes are hard to predict especially when they're coming from bushes and his clones are annoying. The best way to predict his clones are to check if he's randomly standing still. Also it's hard to escape them.”
Shderen says “If a Wukong is mid, he's there for a reason. He isn't gonna fuck around. He's experienced. Trust me, you think we Soraka mid's are smart? These guys are rockin IQ's of 8000. Pray for some reason he's playing like ass or was originally meant to be top.”
Ethereal Ezio says “For some reason, Wukong always seems to cause problems. His clone can block your E damage too. Grab a pink ward and play safe, and gauge how skilled he is.”
BigBadVoodo says “Very easy to pressure early as he is at his weakest point then. We must be in his jungle at all times early, but when he grabs a couple of items, don't be surprised when he does one combo and one shots.”
xTheUnlimited says “In early game you can definitly fight him, if you have red buff. Then a 1v1 is possible. Otherwise you should just let him go his way. His engage potential through his W is pretty high so watch out for that. Otherwise he can knock your whole team up with his deadly ultimate. ”
LePlay says “He is widely underestimated in terms of damage and can seriously hurt you with his R, but you should have no problems blocking his E with your W and stun him somewhere nearby. Be careful with his W however, once you waste your E on his clone you have a hard time fighting him”
drunken hunter says “Wukong is easily killed with the lvl 1 poke and the lvl 2 engage, you have good chances against this champ also because wukong got mana, poke him and trade him to death!”
kkiskk says “His combo damage is very high if he has electrocute and you can't really counter back because of his W invisibility. Be smart and farm under turret if possible. However, don't be afraid if he engage you when you have lots of minions. ”
Violzandre says “Just be careful with him, if he gets you with his combo and he's with a lethality build, I'm sorry for you.
Still, without his R, he can't do anything and you can run, or bait him.
(How? Easy, just use your R to get distance when he uses his, after that it will be a very easy fight)”
Ivker21 says “Wukong will destroy your whole team, and there isn't much you can do about it.
If you try to Bandage Toss him he'll drop his clone. And he has the mobility to get past you and go straight for your back line. Basically, after level 6 he's a bitch to deal with.
I recommend trying to bait out his clone so he doesn't have the protection and escape, and try to ult right as he ults or even a bit before so your team can get him before he knocks you all up.
He shreds armor and builds lethality, so either build a lot of armor or focus on building health, but don't go too much MR if you don't have to.”
Hunterlogic says “This monkey has been hurting a lot recently. He can challenge you easily without your ult and could even kill you after your ult has ended meaning kill him before he gets you.”
BlackRabbet1 says “Wukong has insane burst and can usually one shot you before you can run or ult to escape. if he doesn't get fed and you're not behind, shouldn't be a huge threat ”
proxarius says “Similar to Shaco, if you charm the real one, you can tell when he uses his clone. Wukong is usually a counter to AD champs due to his passive giving armor, and if you are ahead, you should look to burst him before he can ult. ”
Salmon Kid says “Wukong can always close the gap with his E and clone for ult however, it's a commitment of all his resources which is very bad. Alongside this, Lillia passive reveals wukong in stealth. If played correctly, this matchup is very playable.”
chakib2013 says “Easy matchup but can be difficult due to him having 2 gap closer combined with his x2 Knock ups from his ultimate ability that will cancel your W in cougar form.”
L0ganJG says “This matchup is SUPER BAD, you cant win level 1 if he takes bone plating. At level 6 he can always one shot you and your E should never hit if he has W. BUT if you take exhaust + ignite and play SUPER WELL you can catch him lacking and snowball out of control ”
Marelack says “Thats hard matchup try to get edge of night. And play for ur team if u get fed and u have eon u can beat him. Dont forget use e when u are jumping on wukong so if he presses w instantly u can see him”
Hazardist says “[[Wukong]] is less strong after the nerfs he has received this season so far, but you should still not consider him an easy matchup as his kit allows him to duel [[Yorick]] very well while also being far more useful in teamfights. Make sure to grab [[Black Cleaver]] against him and look for early game duels or skirmishes.
Runeset to take: [[Conqueror]].”
MannerlessNG says “Counter.
He deals tremendous damage and cancels your W and Ult with his invisiblity. He can combo you with his ult and delete you.
It's very important to play patiently and never chase, he can evade you easily and is still dangerous at low hp.
Focus on farming and counter jungling, as most Wukong players spam gank and this can set them very far behind, allowing you to build an advantage and eventually remove him from the game.”

Tips Against Wukong in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Bourne212 says “Avoid trading unless they dash to you. Auto Q auto, use W then walk away. By this point they will likely use their clone and make it tough to get passive on them.”
PokeRoyal2007 says “This kind of champs are really annoying for Irelia. I can´t say too much anyways because I haven´t faced Wukong almost ever but you´ll have a really though lane.”
ObiW says “A battle of wits. His Passive grants him stacking Armor, so extended trades favor him heavily. Respect his Level 1 E attack speed—do not fight him early. The golden rule: Never stun the Clone! If you waste your W on his decoy, you will lose the trade. Poke with Q, force his clone out, and then engage. Plated Steelcaps are highly recommended to reduce his Q damage.”
zwartebliksem says “Flash + Ignite
Wukong is not in a good spot right now, making him one of the weakest toplaners. But you have to know how to play into him, since it's easy to be confused by his kit. Whenever Wukong uses his E, he cannot cancel it. This means that the middle wukong is always the real one. If you hit either your Q or your E onto him, you will gain true vision. Use this to catch him off guard.”

You can always tell his clone just by looking for your PTA-procs. It also works with your E and Q, those are harder to tell instantly.
His Q range is a lot longer than you might think, so get ready to throw out a Q yourself.
Careful for his 6 all in.”
asuratop1 says “Grasp/Conquistador + Doran Shield
Abuse do Fulgor e jogue em dois tempos, baitando o clone do Wukong, ele nunca vai ter uma ameaça pra te dar all-win, ao menos que você não tenha o E quando ele tiver clone+ignite e esteja com um HP abaixo de 70% e fique dentro do Range dele, apenas respeite esses cenarios, ele pode te dar IK.
Sidelane é sua com qualquer build, seja de side/teamfight, na teamfight, ignora o Wukong e pula na backline dele se ele engajar na sua backline.”
zwartebliksem says “Wukong wins short trades with his burst and clone. Look to play safe, use Q to zone and keep sustaining. Rush Bramble Vest or Steelcaps to weaken Wukong’s all-ins. Keep the wave near your tower to deny engages. Survive early, then outscale and play for teamfights.”
forsakn says “
Levels 1–5: Wukong’s early trades with Q (Crushing Blow) + autos can chunk you if overcommitted. His E (Nimbus Strike) gap closer allows him to engage quickly—avoid extended trades and don’t stand near minions for his passive damage.
Wave control: Let him push. Freeze near tower to minimize all-in threat and stay safe.
Trading: Short trades with Auto + E poke work best. If he tries to all-in with full combo, kite backwards and use Q + W to poke from range.
Post-6: His R (Cyclone) provides AoE knockup and burst. Maintain spacing and avoid trading alone.
Summoner Spells: Flash + Teleport is standard. Ignite can help if he dives aggressively.
Scaling: You outscale Wukong mid-late game. Once you hit level 11 with core items, your sustained damage and kiting surpass his early burst and combo potential.
Wukong top hits hard early with burst and engage. Respect his Q + E + R, stay patient, and by midgame your range and consistent damage put you in control.”
Hoikatop says “Pretty standard fighter matchup where you shouldn't have too much trouble as long as you watch your HP and get some early armor. I like Liandry's rush but you can do Rylais if you are learning. He can cancel your fling with his clone. Your poison reveals him with a shimmer during his stealth. Kite away during his ult and do not stand in it because you will get merked. His Q shreds your armor, so again just kite away. You can kill him in an all-in if he's close to your turret. He will have trouble stopping your proxy. Once he gets sheen, his trades are stronger, so be careful. Wukong shouldn't give you much trouble as Singed, and you can teamfight better than he can, even though wukong is quite strong in teamfights. You eventually do beat him 1v1, surprisingly, you just need to make sure you have enough AP to pump DPS because he will have sundered sky to heal.”
Volkeran says “This MU is wukong favored. He has a good base dmg, sheen is a power spike and his ult can be dodged with W to stun him but he can just reactivate it. Avoid long trading him, instead try to poke him down with PTA and W his big smack. If your 1 or 2 stacked PTA suddenly disappears on him, you know he used his image so use hydra/tiamat instantly, wait until he comes back and proc your PTA and go out again. He will win even HP trades, so you need to get the HP advantage, he has no huge instant dmg to insta kill you so try to keep the wave on your side and you are fine. I advice Press The Attack + DBlade start.”
xXSaWiAcZXx says “He's very strong with his empowered auto attacks, he can bait you into thinking that his clone is the real him and you'll only waste your W on that, be aware when fighting against him, side step every auto attack and look if he moves with you or not, if he doesn't it means that's a clone. Conqueror recommended.”
KomariLoL says “One of Yasuo's hardest matchups, especially if he takes ignite. You never win trades when he E's too. Try not to get hit by his Q's and just play around his ability cooldowns.
Always respect his all in once he hits 6.”
VarusEnjoyer says “I always "manage" to lose hard against him. He can easily get to you with his E and can easily trick you with his W to hit his clone. Once he has level 6 he will permanently engage on you and kill you.”
Loocalol says “Runes: Phase rush/Grasp
Early: Hold your ability choice. If he starts E, you start E. If he starts Q, you start Q.
Tips: Just go into melee range and combo him. Don't just max range E because he will W it and trade onto you. You can also just Q whenever he last hits and if he dashes onto you, just E him.”
liucan says “MONKE stat checker: His w can make u target the wrong MONKE and he can use it or his own E to dodge your E. After 6 he destroys u, if he E u use E backwards, why? because most of the time if he use R he will go into u or he uses W to dodge it if u use it in front and run to other way, is the best u can do to survive if u fuck up and let him engage u. Go ign + ext and try to play better or go for roams.”
parker3n9 says “This lane can be challenging, particularly between Levels 6 and 11. Wukong’s R gives him immense kill pressure, as it’s difficult to escape from and out-heal its damage. Play defensively during this phase and focus on farming safely. Your goal is to scale to your two-item power spike, where you’ll have more impact in teamfights. Avoid extended trades and look for opportunities to poke him down with Q when he mispositions.
Recommended Runes: Aery or Fleet Footwork
Summoner Spells: Flash and Teleport
”
Coke Rat says “Wukong can be really anoying, his Q range is slighty bigger than your empowered Q range, use your skills and dashes wisely or he will run you down.”
Basilli says “GRASP RUNES
"You do magic damage so this matchup is easy. Don't fight too hard level 1-3 since his early levels are insane between his passive+Conq. You can easily differentiate between real Wukong
and his Clone as his Clone will not have stacks like the real one will if they've been applied. Other than that you just statcheck him at all points of the game." ”
misterbig says “u dont win lvl 1 , u can prob all in lvl 2 , try to get lvl 2 push
if he doesnt fight u go push in 3rd wave and mby proxe 4th and rcheater recall”
SemenDrinker says “Bone Plating Blade
Wukong actually has quite a bit to answer to aatrox's kit. His e which dashes to you will give him attack speed and his Q will shatter armor. When you try to fight back he will W away and turn invisible. His auto attacks also give him free armor. Rush plated and do your best to poke him. Level 6 and ignite he has major kill potential against you. I would say to do your best with csing and poke him down until you feel fine fighting him. ”
PetriciteLoL says “His ult doesnt have the same impact when you take it and he's an insane duelist. You can do any item/rune/ability combinations, up to preference.”
step1v9 says “Don't extend the trades if he uses E on you. Left click his champion model and look at the top left to see when his AS from E expires. Then you can begin to trade again. Essentially, when he E you E away. Once he gets Q, you can't really trade back ever especially if he doesn't overlap the abilities. There are kill windows when his abilities are on CD. If he uses W to run away just keep autoing the clone as it could be a fake W. If you think he isn't using W to run away then just disengage. When he uses R always disengage. It's rarely worth to keep fighting unless you're ahead.”
Skaarlschloch says “Really not the greatest matchup for AP. Wukong is very tricky and many wukongs run ignite looking to punish your weak early.
If its a good game for it i recommend going Fulltank with Grasp + Early Armor. Fulltank should beat him very comfortably”
Haxorr says “Though a good Wukong can win the lane for sure and I've won it from Wukong's POV before, it is a pretty Jax favored lane. Just be careful to not go on him too deep and waste your e before he using his clone, as his all-in potential is really strong with his ultimate + ignite once your counterstrike is down. I like DBlade + Grasp in this matchup and rushing Trinity to give you enough HP to survive his burst. Play for prio level 1 as you should be able to get it relatively easy.”
WIELKI B says “he can oneshot u lvl 6 if he has ignite, take bone plaiting, he also has strong early so be aware, generally a hard matchup but can be won”
Shark of Void says “Take Phase Rush and Ignite.
He can use W to evade your skills. Use your abilities during his E to trade freely. Just one shot him!”
Belle19 says “ALWAYS Q MAX
His q range is really long and his poke is pretty good. His passive with the new buff lets him sustain in lane really well. His level 6 all-in is really REALLY strong. With that being said you can completely ignore him and scale. With divine sunderer removal, past like 2 items he just completely falls apart against you in 1v1s and in teamfights you do way more than him as long as he doesnt literally get a 5 man knock up. With divine removal I don't think bramble is necessary anymore”
DioSett says “take tp and doran blade , rush boots and then stride breaker ,if he is running with his W you can actually use FLASH+E to stun him on this clone and kill him , at lvl 6 he can insta you , just farm you will outscale”
procatking says “Conqueror, ignite, D blade, take rune NO.3.
*Hard matchup*
All i can tell about this monkey is his R will cancel your W really HARD to engage on. wait for your jg to gank u.
(pre 6 u can try to solo kill him).”
Witchking of Angwar says “Flash/tp. Conq
Dont see much wukong. He hard wins early, you outscale him mega. Rush tabi. You can ult after his w, his clone will disappear but its risky as you can accidentally ult the clone”
MaesePerez says “beats you early very hard with q, but you outscale very hard, just be mindful of his clone when ulting since he can use it to bait your ult when he's low hp, and once your ult is down, you lose a lot of your kill pressure. ”
X_TRM says “(Start E) He statchecks you early and throughout the game, your E counters his W if you can predict his movement. His Q range can be very oppressing and after 6 he will all in you. You can get Oracles lens and counter his invis. You outscale him eventaully but his buffed passive and Q range are making this matchup nearly unplayable. Black Clever may be needed.”
hamgi says “short trades. do not go for extended trades as he will always win with passive. save w for when he uses e. early tabs or warden go a long way”
zwartebliksem says “You have true vision of him with Q and E, don't be fooled by the clone. Good wukong players know how to poke without taking any damage. Try to land your Q when/before he goes in. This is the only way to stick on him.”
AWierdShoe says “Wukong is not an easy matchup for Aatrox but by all means not the most difficult. You'll have to respect his early game damage as he has the potential to E onto you and whack you a bit for a short trade. Make sure to Q back when he E's onto you to make the trade not free. Hold your E and W until after he uses his W; this is his second tool to dodge your Qs and even escape your W. His W has a long cooldown so just try not to eat too much early damage for free and then hit him hard while his W is down. You will be able to out-damage his trades with patience and good rotations. Rush Tabi into him, as without it Wukong will oneshot you with his ult at 6. You outscale him pretty decently with items+armor.”
Joy17 says “Wukong tem um conjunto de habilidades que pode criar oportunidades para trocas eficazes, mas Warwick, com sua mobilidade e habilidades de cura, pode resistir a trocas prolongadas.”
PPlongcook says “He does way too much damage, just play safe. You don't outscale him in a teamfight but you can out split him if you don't fall behind.”
Akuzai says “Monke has strong all in but that's it. Rush boots if needed and try not to combo your abilities since he's mobile. You outscale him in all aspects.”
hoflol says “Hard to win matchup once he gets Divine Sunderer. But before that, you can easily win trades.
You can also see him when invisible and he is damaged by your poison. And he cannot W or E on your W.”
Lukajs says “Wukong is an acceptable matchup for Gwen, since you can poke him. However his W is a tricky ability, so he can easily outtrade you. You can stack Conqueror or Lethal Tempo on his W, so you can use that to your advantage.
Play around poke, farm and his W being down, and look for a full engage when it is.”
GheeseEmpty says “Not a huge threat, but one worth being wary of. Wukong has a very strong level 6 against you and built in armor shred, but your early game is far stronger. Abuse this and either attempt to beat him in 1v1s as Bear, or be useful in teamfights by zoning him with Phoenix.”
xXazzer says “Barely see Wuking anymore. But he can beat you easily. He is like Riven after 6 in that he will 100-0 you with ignite. He can run you down level 1 as well. If he goes in on you with his before 6, W him so he cant get out. If he uses his W predict where he dashed to and give him a few Qs before he can get out. You can also use your passive on his clone and stack conqueror on it to even out the trade.”
JPGamer10BR says “Você pode começar upando o Q caso prefira, tente dar o Q antes do combo dele de E+Q, você precisa cegar ele antes que ele dê o dash, cuidado para não lançar o Q no clone dele, o R dele pode ativar 2 vezes, então cuidado.
Pode usar Aery, PTA, F.F ou Grasp.”
The Saucy Saurus says “Trade with Q if he chases you otherwise try to avoid his empowered auto with Q. Block his engage or escape with W. If he ults save your W until after first knockup then use it and run away. Rush thornmail.”
Denied20 says “Never straight forward, but you need to meet his means of attack with something yourself. Attempt to Q and attack him while he jumps you. With him in your wave, the trade should be equal or even in your favor. Take GRASP and focus on trade and no all ins. His 6 is more potent than yours, but when played correctly, you are often able to build a lead.”
BurritoTopKing says “Just avoid dying into him, your champ is better in fights, also his main kill window is going to be at 6, just try to avoid dying there, use your flash if necessary if he ults you.
In fights try to pull him if he engages and look for reset on him if possible.”
WarwicksSimp says “''Wukong in the early game just wants short trades untill his enhanced auto kit let's him win an all in and Warwick denies that'' - Wukong Players
I never see this matchup in top or mid anymore since s10 so i'm not sure but for the most part you can pretty easily win this matchup with no issue, he's a bit more useful in teamfights though.”
Tronnes says “This is a harder matchup. His passive build up armor during fights so try and have poke fights then back off. If he E W's on you hit the real one with W and do the combo and back off. You don't win AA battles with him. ”
RivenCarriedYou says “: Start dorans shield and get bone plating to reduce damage of his E auto Q combo. Wukong wins level 1 with E start. Look for short sharp trades, then all in when he's 40/50%. I think Riven's level 6 is better for 1v1 fighting, but if you fall behind the game is probably over for you. Try to E his Q or E damage.”
inviskretur2 says “D shield+Bone plating
-Will lose at level 1 if he has ignite
-Look to play safe, he will always beat you if he is decent
-Do not use Q while he is nearby and has both his gap closers
-Look to outsplit/out teamfight him”
Chaddouk says “You don't win extended trades against wukong because his passive is so broken (the longer he fights, the more armor he has). You also don't win short trades on paper, but you actually because you have sustain and he doesn't. So not much to say against wukong in terms of the specifics, just keep in mind one thing : short trades into an all-in. There used to be a trick to know when wukong uses his clone (you right click on him and don't kite, and when he uses clone ur character will stop moving) but it doesn't work anymore so be aware ! Don't do it you'll look silly. Red trinket early can be good to scout clone and also keep in mind his ult cancels your E. If you manage to get a lead early you should win side, also he doesn't want to side he's wukong he wants teamfights so force him to match you as much as possible as he has 10 times yyour impact in teamfight,”
BaotoGame says “Wukong will be a very tough matchup if you don't respect his damage and armor from his passive.Levels 1-6 try to respond with Q's as much as possible but play safe, as he's much stronger than you with E attack speed, conqueror and passive stacked. If he messes up a Q on a minion or W. It's time for the all-in”
_WhiteSnow_ says “You win short trades and wukong can't stick if you have a tunnel network set up. You can cancel his e and disengage afterwards or just unburrow on him and tunnel away after if he looks for a full commit. Disengage when he ults.”
At_Tar_Ras says “take ignite and it'll be an okay matchup. it's just painful once he gets his divine sunderer. i don't struggle much against wukongs but i'll put him here since it took me a while to get to that point. goredrinker + 2 wukongs (1 being his clone) means more healing for you :D take conq too. DO NOT W his clone. and early on DON'T fall victim to over-extending the trades too much without minion help as his passive helps him in elongated trades. ”
Antecc says “Short trades. Dodge Q with E and only fight if he engages onto you. Early on, trade exchanges with W are possible, until he levels up Q. His range will beat yours significantly and you won't be able to exchange auto's anymore.
Ulting his clone and the real Wukong grants double resistances due to it counting wukong's clone as a 2nd champion, so that's your window to get the most out of your ult.”
RuchaczSzmat69 says “Hard matchup. Sit on the barrel, poke him and wait for his dash. If you wont use your passive on his clone you should win the trade but if he is good its sometimes not so easy. It gets tricky after 6 as he have huge oneshot potential, so keep it in mind and always keep barrel nearby.”
ABL Pantheon says “TOP: Rarely seen in Top, but it's difficult. He has great early game power, especially with Ignite and he can run you down level 1 if he knows what he is doing. Play safe, poking with Q and engaging only when he is low. Never use W when he is ulting, he will cancel it and use E on his Q or Ultimate”
lordimboutabust says “His kit counters AD champs so be very careful. Only fight with all abilities up and W when he E's to keep track of him. You can also heal off his clone | bone plating | Dblade - executioners - steelcaps - tank mythic”
Bernardian says “Wukong is kinda weird because he actually is one of your worst melee matchups but he is never picked. Pretty much he has a gap closer that is easy to execute, can go invis so its very hard to track him has great dueling potential with his e and q and post 6 he can all in you from full with ignite. try to survive the initial all in that he does on you because if you do you can turn the fight in your favor, never use your q unless its to farm minions because he can easily dash inside of it and try to save your e to do the e+q combo.”
ardeluu says “Go for Boneplating and play around it. Don't fight him Lv1 and respect his Lv2 power. After Lv3 if u played it safe u should be able to trade but care his W. U can use ur W to reveal wukong in his W invisibility and u can Q during his R's knock-up. Focus on poking and using Boneplating to take shorts trades in ur favor. After Lv6 he can all in and get a kill if you are below 50% Hp so care for the engage and stay heathy.
”
AlmightyNoxian says “All this monkey can do is try to fool you with his clone. You can understand the difference between real and fake by your passive effect.”
FaNTOP says “Избегайте полной стычки на первом уровне, если не находитесь в минионах. Не используйте свою способность "Ульт" против него, если у него есть активная способность "Ульт", так как он просто подбросит, поэтому просто убегайте. Проводите короткие обмены ударов на своей половине поля, и вы должны победить.”
demirkaiser says “Take ignite. Don't try level 1. Level 3 you can fight him. Level 6 don't ult if he has W. Rush bramble. When he E's you, use your W to negate his damage. Poke with Q.”
St0rmyss says “Go lethal tempo with ignite and dblade start. Look to E his Q's and try to get him low before trying to all in him. You can Q E A W him then try to stun him and the minions, but if you can't then just run away. and repeat until you can kill him.”
Twogrand says “This champion can be very annoying even if you take conq you lose level 1 due to his passive and his Q so try to do small trades with him as much as possible, try to do the trade when he waste his dash onto the creeps to last hit and BE CAREFUL LEVEL 6 HE WILL 100 to 0 you if you waste your Phase rush so just keep in mind if he has ult keep phase rush up at all times!”
Nurakami says “You will never win early 1 v 1 vs thsi monke his passive armor + tabi with sheen will demolsih you just poke him with q and e and wait for him to be out of mana or low on hp NEVER ALL IN”
rilxy4u says “Clone activates boxes, he will 1 shot you after an item or two. If the Wu Kong is on their team, he is pro league smurf and will destroy you / your team. However if he is on your team, the player is not actually human, but is instead a test tube monkey baby, bread in a lab, with the sole purpose of throwing your ranked games.
...............
Outplay: dodge that match if you value your elo.”
Smauggy says “even, he his a good gape closer, but his passif wont be usefull there
buy ome armor, stack your q, if he jump on u q and run.
if he ult dont r w8 his second activation and after that you kill him.”
Black Demon Ezel says “Shreds Armor, creates a close for a few seconds and annoys me about as much as Shaco does. This one ain't as deadly though. He's mobile but not nearly as much as Shaco so he should be easy enough to beat up and eat”
SesaPrime says “The Monkey acts just like a Yi. Fight! Fight! Fight! If he's not fighting in the jungle, he is fighting his demons. Pre lvl 6 is all he will be doing with you & he may just all in anytime after 6. Be prepared. ”
stefanko says “Wait for him to go for last hit on minions with his e, and then cast your e, you will hard win. You win any stage of the game if you don't waste your e. (grasp, teleport)”
Ulamog says “Conqueror Build; Bone Plating + D Blade. OR
Grasp Build; Second Wind + D Shield.
Both work here, depends on your playstyle.
With Conqueror you want to early trade and kill him at around lvl 3. With Grasp you wanna poke him down and when he misplays or steps up to far you all in.
After 6 you want to parry his R if possible but it's hard. 2nd R is easier than 1st.
DON'T R HIS CLONE!”
dzsama says “Play careful as he has quite a bit of burst damage. Also at level 1 most of them start E so don't blow your E until he has dashed in or you will lose the trade. Block his Q with your E and wait to stun him after he comes out of his stealth. At level 6 he will probably try to all in you so care for that. Steelcaps are important in this lane. Also keep in mind he can recast his ultimate for a second knockup so he can keep you CC'd for longer, which can setup ganks quite easily.”
Pep_Shin says “You statcheck Wukong. You have his kit but better.
If he gets too much of a lead be careful of his Divine sunderer spike. He stacks armor with passive and can be annoying but isn't a major threat overall.”
Irelius says “Обезьяну занерфили, потому она более не дегенеративная брейндед помойка, сидящая в S+ тире на двух ролях. Однако, он традиционно нормально стоит в Ирелию. Не деремся на лвл 1, пикаем костяные пластины. Тыкаем Q в крипа рядом с Вуконгом, ждём W, блочим его бурст при помощи W, попадаем E, убиваем. На лвл 6 он может сбить рывки, потому осторожно.”
Januar says “He will dash into you with his E which is certain. He whether use his W after poking you some or all in you so he will use his W not to go back, but to continue to fight. If he's going back all the time, u must Q and Q-E so he will butt by using W. If he is continuing to fight, dont use your E till 3th Q because he will be waiting your 3th Q to use W. Basically bait the bait.”
Irelius says “Wu got nerfed, hence he is no longer an obnoxious degenerative overbuffed champion sitting at S+ tier in 2 roles for multiple patches. However, he traditionally works ok against Irelia. Advices are the same tho. Bone plating is a must. Dont allow him to jump on you at lvl 1. You beat him from lvl 3 to 6 if you land everything. Same mechanic as against Camille. Q him or minion nearby, he will insta E+Q you and you use W to negate his burst.
Dont Q around him after lvl 6 tho as he can cancel your Q with his R knockup. ”
JustSad42 says “Technically, Wukong is a hard lane, especially if he runs ignite, but I haven't really met good Wukong players yet. I take ignite into Wukong, to chase him after W and to have enough damage. Not needed but nice to play aggressive and match his ignite which he usually gets. Wukong will look for Q poke, you can walk slightly into range and pre-emptively W it then Q in for a trade. After you Q into Wukong, he will W away, and you have to practice walking where you think he will W before he even does it. When Wukong Ws, the vital will instantly despawn from his model, which is a clear indication of when he does it. Wukong's clone can tank your W, keep that in mind, especially for when he Ws away. Make sure you have enough space to chase/finish the trade after he Ws for distance. You win early vs wukong, but when he reaches 6, you have to play smart. You cannot fight him next to his W, or he'll get too much damage off. The second you see his W, put some distance between you and it, so you don't take multiple R or increased auto+q damage. Winning in this section of the laning is hard but possible. You can just Q away when he engages like that, and fight him after when you both have R on cd. If Wukong is R-ing and he didn't hit you, or he's R-ing someone else, you can Q-W into his R or his clone's R, and get a free stun off. You beat wukong after 2 items, and after 3, he can't do anything. He has a small section of the game he can play, and even that you can win.”
Azekar says “Conqueror+Bone Plating.
Start Doran Blade.
Ghost+Teleport.
Terribly annoying and hard to laning matchup. Wukong deals massive damage and has a lot of armor and resists. Your W is totally useless against him, just play safe and call for jungler if have opportunity. U could try to kill him on lvl 6 but still losing 1v1 if he is a good player. ”
Night Guy says “I haven't really faced any Wukongs yet but if I had to imagine how it would go just trade with him with Q3 and basics and just E whenever you feel like you might get damaged a lot or to dash away.”
SrMolinv says “If you go Dblade first and do a first good trade to remove bone plating you actually win level 1 all in. Even if you win early lane if he scales and gets Divine + tabis he gets a lot of armor so he can deal with you. Care with monke, he surprises.”
93bWasTaken says “Dodge or swap lane :)
Go CONQ+BONE PLATING, rush steelcaps.
He is better than you on level 1/2/3 (yes), he can Q you to death before you do, and has great escape.”
TwTvRANGERZX says “Auto > E out is a good trade pattern vs wukong. Avoid fighting him when he has his Passive and Conqueror stacked. If he wastes W in a trade, look for an all-in after since its a long cooldown ability.”
LeyzeHP says “You can snowball into him, but with the game getting longer he will be more useful and his passive (despite of all the nerfs) is really op, but I think that Rengar might be one of the best champions to face him since he suffer more from burst damage than from damage on time. His R is dangerous and he can prevent you from oneshotting is backline using it to cancel your leaps, so be aware of it. Pre 6 he's a minion to you. Right now Wukong is really broken (and i love him to make Amumu abusers suffer XD).”
Smudey says “Level 1 will be quite annoying with either his long range Q or his gap closing E that gives him AS, but once you reach lvl 3 and get your W, you can block his AAs and Qs with your W. Only go for short trades so he doesn't stack up his passive. His lvl 6 all-in can deal a lot of damage so watch out if you want to fight him post 6, but you can win the lane before that happens if you play properly.”
Fizzy says “Simply one of the hardest to date, because of his ult stun and his Q that removes armor, which can be quite tricky for you against experienced wukong players, always try to stay behind and whenever he tries to kill you, retreat wait spend it all to try to trade against him”
RuchaczSzmat69 says “He has very good damage early and after 6 can oneshot you. Its not that hard to win with him pre6, but if the enemy jungler comes and kill you once its pretty much over if he wont throw it. Place the barrel underneath you and destroy it when he uses E on you, the problem is that if he is good he can W away as you auto with your passive and avoid a big chunk of damage. You can play a mindgame with him by cancelling your auto and waiting for his invis to fall off but its risky and undpredictable as you can get easily baited.”
HightLoL says “Wukong favored.
if he has no ignite, you can beat him lvl 1 with w. poke with q's at a position where if he e's, he'll be in a bad spot.
bone plating good, plated steelcaps and wardens mail good if the enemy comps allows it”
hamgi says “wukong is as strong, if not a little less, in the top lane as he is in the jungle. altho, bc of the divine nerfs, he isnt as disgusting as he used to be. still, u should respect him from even level 1. good wukong players will start e and immediately poke u or even fight u from then. they typically take conq, so u could potentially win lvl 1 if u have ignite and a pot. but try to avoid fighting him early as a lead for wukong is the last thing u want. u cant bait out any of his abilities with e except for his w, which is usually used as an escape or cheesy engage for r. when he e's forward for u or a minion, strike back with q+aa or preemptively w then q+aa to mitigate most of the damage and win the trade. they typically e+q, and his q reduces ur armor, so be careful with long trades after u q's u. every aa stacks his passive, which gives him armor and health regen. u shouldnt fight him at max stacks (u can check by clicking him and looking under his hp bar) unless absolutely necessary. still respect his divine spike despite the nerfs. as long as u trade him properly and keep his cd's in mind, this is a fair lane and if u are the better player, this is a winning lane for u”
spaghalli says “This stupid monkey-- my personal ban choice. Beware of his W and play around its cooldown. Don't embarrass yourself by using your abilities on his clone (speaking from experience).”
StingingChicken says “Respect his strong level 1 and 2 and stay with your wave. After 13.5 pantheon buffs he cannot auto you to death in your wave level 1-2, thank god. From levels 3-5 you win hard as he has no sustain and loses if he engages into you. Do not W into him from range when he has clone up or he will dodge it. Just poke with Q, space away from his Q, and E if he dashes in. They usually clone when they dash in, so be careful not to waste E too soon and have him pop up behind you. You can turn on him with W and all in if he burns clone. At the end of the day you can play it clean and get 100-0ed by Dshield cloth armor Wukong at level 6 anyways, matchup is horrible. ”
spaghalli says “No. Just no. Banned. Mr. Monkey is probably the greatest counter to Kalista top because of... well ALL his abilities. His passive gives him bonus armor and health regen which makes your poke against him pretty damn useless. His Q will do a lot of damage because of your squishy nature. His W allows him to leave all of your spear stacks on him on his clone, leaving them useless. His E is a great gap closer, and if you get caught in his R, you're dead. Do I need to say more? Banned.”
TwTv EUWXYZ says “really hard matchup, wukong fav. as soon as he uses 1/2abilite/s for cs u can look for an all in try to save ur E as long as u can and be patient about ur R so u dont R the clone”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Do not try to execute Wukong if he still has his Warrior Trickster(W) available. This is because you may waste your execution on him and he will survive. Keep this in mind when trading too. Wukong wins a lot of auto attack battles, so don’t go for extended trades with him unless you can kill him. If Wukong has left lane after level 6, tell your team as soon as he leaves. He might be trying to use his Ultimate Cyclone(R) in a different lane too help his allies.”
Elresser says “He has a strong level 1 with his E so you can let him push towards you in the early levels. you also want to use your Q as a disengage rather than an engage tool.”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Do not try to execute Wukong if he still has his Warrior Trickster(W) available. This is because you may waste your execution on him and he will survive.

BreadyToCrumble says “This is one of those champions where I genuinely just don't know how to beat him. He has better short trades than you, better long trades, and is tanky enough that you can't kill him either. The matchup will be even once you hit level 11 so just play for that powerspike! You're slightly stronger in teamfights, but you'll have a rough laning phase. Max Q and try to stay back and farm.”

SrMolinv says “Riven con espada de doran gana el lvl 1 (Solo si le quitas bone plating). Aunque ganes la linea es parecido a Irelia, cuando pilla divine y tabis puede sorprenderte.”

Voice44 says “берем завоеватель либо град клинков для ранней доминации. вы выигрывайте его первые 5 лвлов но дальше вам будет сложно сделать что либо. будьте готовы к его олл ин на 6 лвле . ситуация почти как с мордекайзером но немного легче. попытайтесь убить его первые 5 лвлов и вы сможете выиграть.”
pura4 says “"[Cometa, Escudo de doran, Q > E] - pode ir de incendiar e tp. Essa lane é bem tranquila, jogue sempre que estiver com sua passiva ativa, Q sempre com fluxo de mana, faça isso e após o lvl 6 você irá solar ele de forma bem fácil"”

CosmicTurtle88 says “You do magic damage so this matchup is easy. Don't fight too hard level 1-3 since his early levels are insane between his passive+Conq. You can easily differentiate between real Wukong
and his Clone as his Clone will not have stacks like the real one will if they've been applied. Other than that you just statcheck him at all points of the game. ”
LasseDK3894 says “Really tricky, tryndamere is bad against all champions with invinsiblity, his ult makes you pretty useless, and even tho you go even, this guy is incredible in team fight, and 2v2s.”
tacowo_ says “Wukong right now, Top or Jungle, is an absolutely disgusting abomination of a champion. Invisibility, a black cleaver built in, an auto reset, clones, two dashes, two knockups, can abuse Sunderer, has great teamfight, and good dueling. A worthwhile ban if you can't ban Lillia.”
Yiphen says “Win Lane or Jungle Diff. He'll probably upgrade his E against you, so build Wit's End first. However, your E completely denies his W. E him when you think he'll try to run away. Also, if you shoot him right before he E's, your shot will follow him and reveal where he is. He has a surprising amount of burst once he gets his items. Freeze wave in front of tower. Do not dance.”
TENTAKILL ILLAOY says “После баффа стал занозой в жопе, легкий матчап на лайне, но у него сноубол дикий, и тим файт лучше вашего, долгие трейды без щупалец очень опасны, как и его Q и его сокрушитель богов.”
Maxpiku says “Скиловый матчап (В нашу пользу). Блочим его Q = победа. Не успел заблочить Q = до 6ого уровня проигранный трейд ,после 6ого смерть. Собираем броню ,укрепляем позицию грибами и бла-бла-бла...”
Lost Chapter says “His healing with divine is absurd. Buy oracle lens after first back so you can see him when he's invisible. Always use oracle lens when you go all in so you don't waste your abilities on his clone.”
Taiquyorah says “MU à l'avantage de Wukong puisqu'il peut E + AA le baril très rapidement (avant que l'on puisse exploser le baril) ou bien même utiliser son invisibilité pour réapparaître en AA le baril.
La portée de son Q est également plus grande que la portée de l'explosion du baril.
Cependant, GP a l'avantage de la sustain, donc si vous arriver à le Q et faire proc un passif et enchainer sur un combo de barril, vous gagnerez les trades en early.
Son lvl 6 est plus fort que le votre il faudra le respecter.
Build triforce conseillé !
Le build bruiser peut être une option mais le build critique sera plus intéressant pour les teamfights !”
NegativePhoenix says “Wukong received a pretty decent early game CD on his W which is usually leveled last, making him have to use his W more sparingly in the lane phase. However just be mindful of his poke power and ability to dodge you if he has to. His W and E are good dodge tools if used right. His Ult also does max health damage so be cautious of that, and remember his Q shreds armor. He might be more manageable late game if you can CC him to death so he can't do anything but run.”
7 LE BOSS says “it really depends on how you played lane, if you don't have any plates or kills before 14 minutes it's gonna be really hard almost impossible to 1vs1 him.Take ignite.”
NegativePhoenix says “Wukong top isn't often anymore, but scary when it is in the right hands. He tricks, he dodges and he hard engages. His passive obviously isn't effective against you seeing as it builds armor. You trade better than him at first, but he has better engage/disengage especially at 6 so be cautious and don't take a ton of damage otherwise he's just gonna spin to win on you”
WildSamu says “DBlade + Red pot.
Very difficult matchup.
Tabis is good here.
His passive is extremely strong and makes it very difficult to win trades. Try and W when he get's onto you. Use your E to kite his R.”
meduselolol says “he wins level 1 hard. Once 6 auto e is realy strong since that hits him even if he clones. Extremely vulnerable to freeze. Has kill pressure if you're 2 pushed”
VituVonDoom says “Making waves in the jungle with some of his recent buffs, Wukong is also one of Jayce's hardest counters, duo to his armor stacking passive, ability to easily all-in you, and possibly make you E the damn clone. Take Conq or Phase rush, and try not to die too much. You do scale better than him. Always wait a bit before Hammer E'ing him, it could be a clone”
Baby Sona says “Rush armor boots and chase him down. Play around his abilities and wait for him to use his Clone before you use your R. If you ult his Clone by mistake you lose.”
Aberrant Demon says “Wait until level 3 to start trading. You also don't want to start a trade while he has stacks on his passive. For the same reason, your trades need to be kept short. W his Q and E when he dashes into you. When he goes invisible, if you E is still running, stick to him and Q after he exits invis. Post-6 he wins the all-in really hard. Play around your sustain advantage and try not to walk up to deep into the lane. If you are close to your turret, it's much harder for him to get a trade long enough for both ults.”
Galactities says “Very tough, he has two abilities to dodge your Q's, he can cancel your R with his W. Has that armor passive that health regen. Take it slow don't force anything, wait for him to overstep.”
IcunoX says “Again easy, interrupt his jump with your bodyslam and do a quick combo, then run away with phase rush. He also stacks armor which you dont care about so its very nice.”
Potent213 says “Runes:
PTA
Goal in lane:
Beat him up, get a freeze and punish him, early lead is very important here, so ask your jungler for a gank.
Wave 1-4:
Play for poke, don't trade too much, if u do, do it near your minions so you can out damage him, you don't get prio early, so wait till you get level 3 to start contesting waves and whatnot.
Tips:
Ah the monke king himself.
There are 2 ways you can play this matchup, either you take DShield + Second Wind and wait for your mythic + tabis and just scale and play for short trades.
Otherwise, what I prefer is taking Dblade with Boneplating and looking to all in him.
You can parry his E while he is flying towards you, but the best thing to parry pre6 is the double Q with his clone, hard to parry but if u manage to it's amazing.
I typically like to hold my parry as using it towards the end for his next Q or E for the AS nerf as going for a greedy parry isn't that worth it as if you fail it you are doomed.
Level 6 if you don't have a lead, he will run you down, typically with sheen + bramble or executioners, so play very safe!
If you can parry his ultimate (typically used after Q for armor shred), then you can hard win it, otherwise you will struggle, so I suggest scaling and waiting until you get goredrinker!
With 2+ items you outscale him on side as long as he doesn't have a huge lead.”
Zorroh says “Wukong is one of the harder bruiser matchups for Gnar due to his point and click gap closer, stealth, and insane burst. He will out trade Mini Gnar at any stage of laning phase with his E W Q combo. His E gives him additional attack speed so he can also easily run down Gnar at the earlier stages of the game. Take Fleet Footwork and Bone plating and rush Steelcaps. When trading with Wukong in Mega form, it's a good idea to pause for a second before using your W or R to make sure you aren't wasting your CC on the clone by accident. When Wukong engages onto you with his E at lvl 6 or higher, wait for him to use his knockup before E-ing away or he will interrupt the jump. He has to pause between the 2 casts of his R so that is the best time to hop away when disengaging. The one saving grace of this matchup is that Wukong is fairly squishy for a bruiser so if you are able to lock him down with your jungler and he has no W, it should be an easy kill 9 times out of 10. ”
Scallywag says “Annoying matchup, since he can dodge your barrels with w and defuse your barrels with his q.
Respect him when he is 6 since he can kill you quite easily in spell one rotation.”
MAD GAREN says “PT-BR- Considerado hard counter do Garen, Wuk merece sua atenção. Wukong é muito tank e tem muito dano no começo do jogo, e consegue sair facilmente do Garen com seu W. Por isso, é importante começar as trades com o E, e castar o Q apenas no final quando ele já tiver usado a skill. Em geral deve se jogar com mais cautela contra Wukong, pois a grande maioria dos jogadores são criativos e te solam sem esperar
ENG - Considered Garen's hard counter, Wuk deserves your attention. Wukong is very tanky and has a lot of damage at the beginning of the
game, and can easily get out of Garen with his W. That's why it's important to start trading with E, and cast Q only at the end when he's already used the skill. In general, you should play more carefully against Wukong, as the vast majority of players are creative and solo you without you waiting”
Black Demon Ezel says “Wukong I've never seen as a huge threat. He's able to deal some damage but he has no mobility or counter mobility so if you aim W properly you'll beat him easily. From there, mark him and then wreck him”
Shourdy says “Go for Boneplating and play around it. Don't fight him Lv1 and respect his Lv2 power. After Lv3 if u played it safe u should be able to trade but care his W. U can use ur W to reveal wukong in his W invisibility and u can Q during his R's knock-up.
Focus on poking and using Boneplating to take shorts trades in ur favor. After Lv6 he can all in and get a kill if you are below 50% Hp so care for the engage and stay heathy.”
queen_rane says “[Ghost/Ignite + Flash] Rush armor boots and run him down. Be careful not to ult his close or you lose. Wait for him to use it before you ult.”
SilverAvalanche says “Bully: he has extremely low MR and you should just be able to kill him over and over agin in lane by poking him with Q and empowered AAs. Wukong has two gap closers and you are only allowed to E2 onto him if at least one of them are down or you are close to your turret. at level 6 you should just be able to kill him since he can't block both your E, R1, and R2. Now if he ults your E2 then you just disengage and now you have ult and he does not, if he does not R your E then you can just insta R1 and he cant react to it, then you just poke him with Shroud and Q him and then you can ult from out from shroud and he will never be able to react to it. Now if he does Ult your E and you are afraid of being run down then you of course can use your ult as an escape tool, but it will be hard to kill him without ult.”
Trundledaddy says “No one plays this, be careful of his
burst, can cancel E with pillar, he can
go ignite too so his lvl 6 is strong,
you outscale hard”
powerfullgeo says “If you left click on the Monkeh you will se the window on the top left of your screen. If this disappears, what you are looking at is the clone. Run away from the clone 'cause it mirrors the Q and R and it deals some decent damage”
lolkayleee says “[Ghost/Ignite + Flash]
Rush armor boots and run him down. Be careful not to ult his close or you lose. Wait for him to use it before you ult.”
Federals1 says “Wukong is actually not that threating against Volibear. His base magic resist is lower than most champions, so if he does not have magic reist in runes, Doran's Ring will hurt even more. His level 6 is also pretty strong but not impossible to survive. If he uses his ultimate on you in the fight, you want to disengage and back off until he used both instances. After he has used them both you can try to fight him again IF you are not under 40% hp or so from the chunking he did with r. Chain Vest+Plated Steelcaps+Bone Plating is a very safe route. You can also check if he uses his clone to trick you or not with your w. If he tries to fake the clone look at his character and see if he has your w mark on him, if you marked him. If he has it, then it is the real one. The clone will not have the mark. Doran's Ring and Blade both work well into him, but Ring is slightly higher due to him having lower mr. All 3 rune pages work well, but the third one is the best for trying to snowball the hardest while also being the riskiest. Cosmic drive rush or Iceborn Gauntet rush work well, and then do second item whichever you didn't do first. W max is best here.
Ghost+Ignite are the preffered summoner spell choices.”
Nekoparry says “///////////////////////////ENGLISH//////////////////////////
You can parry his Q or his E, if you can parry his double Q with his clone you win the fight, but if you can't just parry his E. After lvl 6 you have to take care if he gets anti healing as his ult is really good. If you can parry his ult you can try to fight him, but you can also wait until you get 1-2 items and then you start winning. Goredrinker also heals with his clone.”
Xpoxy says “Anybody that plays Wukong at this point is either a god at this champ or trolling. Either way it's a very hard matchup, one mistake and you are 5cs in 10mins.
Take: Fleet Footwork + Resolve
Build: Goredrinker/Stridebreaker (If he dives)”
MHLoppy says “His short trades are strong but you do have the ability to out-damage him over longer trades if he sticks around after jumping onto you. If he constantly wants to E->Q->W instead of taking counter-trade damage, he'll quickly run out of mana and you're also free to use W on the wave to heal because he'll have no cooldowns left to fight you with.”
Agatrium says “This is a tricky one. He gets free armor stacking, and the double knock-up on his Ult is fairly strong. Start spinning if he E dashes into you as almost every Wukong will E dash and instant W and look for the double Q with the clone. If you can W his Q, you actually win the trade pretty hard, but it is fairly difficult to read as the cast time is super fast. ”
Cryniu says “Juega neutral
Tu combo Q+W es clave para anular su Q.
La tenacidad no sirve contra wukong, considera no usarla.
Si él compra Brillo tú compra botas de armadura.
Si él compra curación tú compra vesta espinosa.
El combo E+Destello rápido sirve para sorprenderlo y que no use su doble.
Prioriza comprar vida, la Q de él penetra armadura.”
Helzky says “Skill matchup but Wukong favored until level 6. Play safe after level 3 because he has access to his full kit and you can get bursted pretty fast, I'd wait for Prowlers + Maiden here.”
OliveeGarden says “take pta, ignite and shield bash. The only way wukong beats you is if he tricks you with his clone, play mindful and you win. if you're even he wins the post 6 all in.”
magician4444 says “He will constantly E onto you and his all in at level 6 is unmatched. He's killable but it won't be easy. Don't contest wave at level 1. ”
ChowJunior says “Patience is key. Wait for him to engage or walk too close to you to engage w Q, because if you attempt to engage and telegraph your Q, he'll just clone and laugh at you as you waste stun. He has a strong post 6, so beware of that.”
Your Desired Username says “Wukong is a decently easy matchup. He's more of a counter against AD champions because of his passive. Rush tabis. Level 1 he will e you and auto-attack you as much as he can. He will do this until you run away or until he believes that he won't win. With ignite you will win this level 1 fight, not with tp though. You win most early all-ins if you have ignite AND he doesn't. If you don't have ignite or he does, play safe early, wait till level 6 and steelcaps, you beat him at this point. Ulting him in team fights is not recommended, he can stall insanely well and sometimes even beats you if you miss enough spells.”
AlexFL7000 says “Wukong is a very strong champion. He has lots of burst and due to this he is a threat. Try to Q when he is going to use his Q, as this is the only way to effectively win fights against him. Recommended Items: Plated Steelcaps”
Rayli36 says “try to bait his W(clone) and don't forget that his passive grants him in-combat armor and health regen so try to take short trades in the beginning but later when you have stridebreaker(don't use it when he's W is up it has 20-16s cooldown) and then you can easily kill him but don't try to dive him unless you're 100% you can kill him”
Atomragnar says “He pretty much wins vs you in every stage of the game. He can dodge your Q with his E, he also stacks alot of armor thanks to his passive. Rush steel caps and play with bone plating.
Try to interrupt his E with your E and then use Q. Pre level 6 you can take shorter trades vs him if bone plating is up. You can farm and play for teamfights or ganks. If you get ahead you can run him down. ”
Belle19 says “unplayable if he didnt just pick wukong as a counterpick. You win level 1 if he doesnt have ignite and you win level 2 regardless if you hit your q. Levels 3-5 you win an all in but he can trade really easily with you. Beyond that you just lose. If you can get to level 11 and not be behind, you can win duels. Note, wukongs level 6 all in is unrivaled”
just pick yone says “Will trade you with E lvl 1, u cant trade with him level 1, level 2 max E, if you want to win trade lvl 2 u have to hit your knockup and from lvl3 its hard to win.”
Hoplite345 says “Wukong can be another tough pick for Yone. Yone struggles against point and click champs and Wukong has just that with invisibility, a gap closure, and a Q that resets his autos. Care when dealing with Wukong but if you get ahead, punish him.”
Polartech says “Rare match up, but really hard to manage, Wukong can dash on Kayle dealing a decent amount of damages, pocking her easily and without running risks leaving only his clone near her, in this way Kayle will waste mana and abilities for nothing. Play safe and preserve your ultimate for his ultimate.”
Sandor Clegane98 says “Started seeing some harambe wannabes in the toplane lately,ever since the reword he actually has gotten pretty strong and difficult to deal with especially with ignite, the only way to win all ins is making sure he had less hp than you and that's possible only with trades that are in your favor.
Dshield”
ArshieMeBob says “His passive gives him armor, so unless you're rushing nashors first, he has that. He also has a gapcloser, and is good at short trades AND long trades. Usually the counter to champs with gapclosers is to poke them down while they're running away, but he makes that super hard with his W clone. It's also moderately difficult to kill him with red white since if you are standing near him it's really hard to see if he cloned or not. All and all he does whatever he wants to you, but there's oppurtunity to counterplay with poke and controlled all ins.”
LunaticDancer says “Annoying, but manageable. Gambler viable, D Shield. Can just run at you and kill you lvl 1, careful of that. If you hit him with E and he does the fake clone thing, the clone will not have your Es mark on it, so pay attention to that. Also, your ghouls will jump to him even while invisible. Be extra careful of his double ult cheese combos, they're absolutely obnoxious.”
COJA says “Bone plating + Tabis are a must. Play safe early game until lvl 3, where you can begin punishing Wukong E'ing onto your face. You can heal off of his clone if they use it haphazardly, but you can easily die from almost full hp from a wukong all-in post lvl 6, so you must play very careful.”
Galactities says “Your best time to ever beat wukong is before 6, you have some all-in power vs him, but when he gets his level 6 powerspike its really tough, his passive makes it super hard to trade and he wins almost every extended fight, play it slow, play for your item spikes, widdle him down.”
Eduardocwalle says “A good wukong player will make u suffer, the passive makes him a rpck in long trades and he has more utility than you in teamfights, just try to play with ur brain and dont wsate abilities on the clon.”
MCSwavest says “The monkey sucks. You have one thing going for you which is the ability to know if he's cloned because of your passive. Post 6 make sure to save your E for the split second in between his R casts to get away.”
Black Demon Ezel says “Wukong is not a massive threat, just make sure you don't ult his double and you will be veeeeeeeeeeery fine. It doesn't take much to kill him because he's only semi-tanky but it won't be a massive problem if you can get behind him and ult him in range of your tower. Be cautious because the detour will sacrifice some tower health so time that tactic wisely”
Jewceratops says “Ignite Wukong level 6+ can 100-0 even into boneplate. But with his ult down he becomes killable. Use your passive to see if he uses his W.”
_WhiteSnow_ says “ Overall you can easily beat this champion lvls 2-5 by doing quick trades w/ ferocity and w as you win basically every trade. Post 6 your goal is to bait out his r, root and disengage, and all in once his ult is down as he cannot contest your all in without his ult. You likely lose the 1v1 if he hits both charges of r though, so make sure you kite and wait it out either with ult or with your empowered e.”
MrZoltannn says “Wukong can kill you at lvl 1 so get dorans shield and fleet footwork, lvl 3 is even against wukong, as both of you can go all in, but try to get out his W before you go all-in. lvl 6 is winnable, go goredrinker against him for survivability. ”
xPetu says “Tips: W his Q's. Be patient with your E. If E at close range, it's very hard to dodge, even with his W. If you E at max range, he can easily dodge it with W. His all-in is very strong after 6. You can use W after he E's in because it will more efficient due to his high AS.”
Stinkee says “Wukong has very good, short trades. The key is to wait till he uses his E then use your E into your Q. Whenever he charges on you make sure you activate your shield to absorb most of the damage from his combo. He's pretty scary in the early game so just play safe. Once you get some armor and health you should be able to fight him. After level 6 you have to be careful using your ult against him. He can easily just use his clone to block your ult so you should generally save your ult until him clone is down. Wukong is vulnerable to ganks so it would be a good idea to freeze the minions at your tower so he'll have to walk all the way up to farm. If your jungler comes it will be an easy kill.”
Sovereign Kitten says “Wukong is honestly more suited as a laner than he is as a Jungler. Unlike other champions like Qiyana, he has much tankier and is more of a threat. Respect his clone, and make sure you have a Oracle for the later game so you can track his movements while in a team fight or while fighting him alone.”
Anoying bro5 says “He is really strong in lane and in team fights. If you ever fall behind you lose lane. Look to trade lvl 2 as you win this trade. Riposte his e dash onto you as it is easy to land since he is going straight into you, and it denys his aa speed and potentially his Q damage. That is the way to winning the lane pre 6. You can look to riposte his ult later on after 6, but if you miss your riposte you lose, so use it carefully. Remember, he has 2 ults :))”
lol Wero says “i recommend rushing Ninja Tabi vs wukong. Similiar to the irelia style where he can all in with his combo for the easy kill. Keep your distance and poke/auto when his abilities are on cooldown.”
BoilTheOil says “You can beat him from levels 1-5. If he E's onto you run into your minion wave and fight him. Save your E so you can guarantee your W to land. After level 6 don't even try to fight him in an all in, his level 6 is probably the strongest in the game. Try to get the wave close to your tower and take short trades. If you waste W you probably die, use it with at least 75% grit. Rush Plated Steelcaps against him. If you buy Goredrinker you can heal from him and his clone. Ulting him in teamfights is really hard with his clone making him invis and his ult's double knockup but you have to or else say bye to your backline. ”
Phrxshn says “Avoid wasting your skills on his Warrior Trickster(W) or his Clone and just kite his Cyclone(R) to prevent any more impact from Wukong. Fling Wukong out of team fight if he uses his Cyclone. (Mega Adhesive prevents Nimbus Strike from being cast) (Recommended Items: Rylai's Scepter and Plated Steelcaps) (Fling overrides Nimbus Strike) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Singed) (Outscaling Edge: Even)”
LiL Bunnie FuFuu says “Like all assassins, Wukong is outscaled by Thresh, mainly as a tank. Unfortunately his recent rework made him a lot harder as his numbers are up across the board and he has two ultimates. Thresh can bully him early but he will obliterate you at lvl 6.
Aftershock will help survive his inevitable all in though grasp can force him out of lane.”
quinn adc says “Early lane, save vault for Wukong E.
Wukong's E scales from 10 seconds to 8, while vault is 12 seconds level 1.
That means that Wukong gets his E up 2 seconds before your vault, so PLAY BACK after your vault is on cooldown after you counter his E and only get into range of wukong again when your vault comes back up.
Early laning phase you hard win, so no need to play afraid.
Wukong's W is a 20 second cooldown level 1, so if he ever uses his clone, you have a large window to get a kill.
When he combos you and he uses clone, re-engage on him and you should easily be able to run him down with ignite for an easy kill because wukong is useless without his clone/e dash.
He literally can't do anything. Be careful trading him after he dashes on you level 3 onwards because you don't want to hit his clone.
If your harrier mark vanishes, this means that Wukong used his clone!
Now, level 6 onwards, what you do is when Wukong engages on you, you want to vault on him AFTER he uses his ultimate first knock up and then run away. This is your best chance of survival.
Play back level 6 onwards though, the way wukong wins is if you get into melee range of him after 6.
Ideally, you want Wukong to engage on you with E first so that he wasted that dash at the start, so always play back level 6 and be cautious of his engage.
He will E you, then R/W.
Let it knock you up once, then E him right after the knock up to outrun the second one.
Your E pushes you back further than his W leap”
Veng Shotz says “Wukong's e+q combo will hurt you, if you try to retaliate he will just w and walk back and wait for his cooldowns, his passive will also make it harder for you to out trade him, and post sheen+6 he can burst you down and kill you with his entire combo. Rush tabis and try to freeze under turret to grab cs. ”
Amphawn says “He has insane dive and damage on you. If you see him standing still, Q towards him and run, even if its just a bait you don't want to risk it. If he gets on top of you, he wins the trade. He can also get on you with his E, and then W away to instantly win the trade. This holds true late game as well, if he gets on top of you, you're probably dead. Be very careful of his ult, and don't forget he can cast it twice, so don't get too comfortable after the first one. Laning phase just focus on preventing him from getting on top of you and farm.”
PH45 says “Play careful as he has quite a bit of burst damage. Also at level 1 most of them start E so don't blow your E until he has dashed in or you will lose the trade. Block his Q with your E and wait to stun him after he comes out of his stealth. At level 6 he will probably try to all in you so care for that. Steelcaps are important in this lane. Also keep in mind he can recast his ultimate for a second knockup so he can keep you CC'd for longer, which can setup ganks quite easily.”
At_Tar_Ras says “with ignite it's doable to destroy wukong. my advice is when you Q near him just prepare to HOLD W when he inevitably E + Qs you. doing that means he's wasted a chunk of his DMG on your shield. if you've managed to bait out his clone before hand and know it's on CD, he's always killable especially since you're taking ignite into him. *as long as you W his EQ. be wary that post-6 wukong (especially with ignite) kinda auto wins lane, just be wary of that. if you're going TP instead then your kill-potential VS him is gna be dependent on whether or not he misplays. ”
iZeal says “Bone Plating is key. Your W reveals his W, he will just like Jax try to jump at you whenever his E is off cooldown so make sure to retaliate with Q1 into Q2 with a backwards E and wait for his passive to fall off. Once he has Blade of the Ruined King you have to be careful since unless you burst him he will outsustain you.
Using your Q3 while his W is up can be harshly punished by him so don't use it or predict the way he is going to dash.”
PH45 says “Save your W for when he has used his W and came out of stealth. Otherwise you might end up wasting it since you can't turn while using W and he can sneak around in stealth.”
SunFalk says “He has a clone. He has an auto attack enhance. He has a dash. He can become invisible. - Wukong isn't fun to play against, its why I recommend to bully him early and when you see that he's starting to bully you, just play safe until laning phase is done.”
MrDomian says “In the second tree, select "Biscuit Delivery" and "Approach Velocity" to survive the line and fight him.
In the late-game he can have a better team-fights. Try stun him first.”
Phrxshn says “Avoid wasting your skills on his Warrior Trickster(W) or his Clone and just kite his Cyclone(R) to prevent any more impact from Wukong. Slow Wukong with Infected Bonesaw out of team fight if he uses his Cyclone. (Recommended Items: Plated Steelcaps) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Dr.Mundo) (Outscaling Edge: Even)”
slogdog says “Wukong can be a very rough matchup if you don't respect his damage. Levels 1-6 try to respond with Q's as much as possible but play safe, as he's much stronger than you with E attack speed steroid, conqueror and passive stacked. If he messes up a Q on a minion or W. Go for it.”
Raen says “Try to get him at 1 lvl with Counter Strike. Block his Q with your E. Fast Tabi will help a lot. Be careful at his E bcs his E cancel ur autoattack. If he uses his W then you got short window to go in.”
Xerath gaming says “Annoying monkey, E+Q+W and he basically trades without being traded back, best you can do is try your luck with E to kill him. You win if you ult the correct monkey”
SaltCat says “Monkey, level 1 you win with stacked passive, level 2 you also win with stacked passive, level 3 you need to be carefull his W will make it easy for you to dodge your E, use your W when you see him E on you”
Phrxshn says “Avoid wasting your skills on his Warrior Trickster(W) or his Clone and just kite his Cyclone(R) to prevent any more impact from Wukong. Slow Wukong with Pillar of Ice out of team fight if he uses his Cyclone. (Recommended Items: Plated Steelcaps) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even) (Outscaling Edge: Even)”
A_Drunk_Carry says “Another bruiser that beats you early. Note that your E ghouls will attempt to follow him while invis if you hit it before he casts his clone. ”
MagicallyDelish4 says “If he doesn't start Q then go for a level 1 all in. Never go for an extended trade because of his passive. An early oracle lens is good if you keep on getting bamboozled.”
LoLReal says “Hard match up for Darius. Wukong wins early as he can E into our Q and clone out for strong short trades. Try to pull him back in and predict his clone to take extended trades. It is recommended not to fight him much until 6 though, and even then he can kill you. ”
Justkb says “ Wukong is difficult for Darius as he has 2 ways to gap close inside your Q, his sustain can match Darius's while also having the chance to cast his Ult twice which can slow down stacking. Try and Rush Plated Steel Caps early while also looking to use Q just outside of his model but close enough for him to E you. This forces him to engage with a stack already on him in which early game you win. Once you hit 5 stacks disengage! At 2 items you can fight him, but make sure he either has no sums or you can flank him and get 2 or 3 stacks off without any reply. This might be from a true E,Q,W combo, as then you can get 5 stacks and ult quickly after this. ”
P1Legend says “Not a big deal if you are aware that he will try to all in you at level 6. Deny him this by saving your heal, and Ulting away. You can kill him when his ult is down through smart usage of your skills.”
MythicMike says “Wukong is quite strong early so he can jump on you and do quite a bit of damage early on. Keep a safe distance from his leap and poke him. Matchup depends on how good you are at detecting his clone and/or he is good at using it. ”
A_Drunk_Carry says “I think this matchup was even when Wukong only had one ult. Now he has 2 (well theoretically 4??) spins at a time. Wukong will chunk you early, go Doran's Shield. Winnable with Sunderer and stacks, just don't let him get too far ahead with early kills. A lot of Wukongs will go ignite, so beware. ”
Phrxshn says “Avoid wasting your skills on his Warrior Trickster(W) or his Clone and just kite his Cyclone(R) to prevent any more impact from Wukong. use Offensive Spells to put Wukong out of team fight if he uses his Cyclone. (Recommended Items: Plated Steelcaps) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Malphite) (Outscaling Edge: Malphite)”
Fan22 says “Wukong has a lot of tools, do lets see him in deep.
Wukong has a lot of sustain, damage for extended fights, and his R makes him a good AD bruiser for teamfights.
In the early gmae he has more damage than you, so play passive until you get a Bamis cinder and armor.
With a completed sunfire aegis and Plated steelcaps he doesnt do much damage to you.
When he uses W or E to engage on you just cast Q to quickly disengage.
In teamfights keep him away from your team and CC him, always wait to use R or W since you could be using them on his Clone, when he is around peel the adc or any important ally, since wukong can easily dive them.
If he wastes his E or R he cant to much aside from doing damage with autoattacks.
Remember that wukong Q shreds armor and his passive gives him hp regen and armor.”
Phrxshn says “Avoid wasting your skills on his Warrior Trickster(W) or his Clone and just kite his Cyclone(R) to prevent any more impact from Wukong. Primal Howl Wukong out of team fight if he uses his Cyclone. (Recommended Items: Blade of the Ruined King and Plated Steelcaps) (Jaws of the Beast follows Nimbus Strike) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Warwick) (Outscaling Edge: Even)”
PanthrickTV says “Hard Matchup!
Don't jump on him!
You will jump on clone or he will cancel your animation by using ult.
I recommand using empowered Q and using W only in close range so he has really small window to react.”
Fan22 says “Early game its a nightmare, and late game it still is because of his R mx Hp damage.
If you dont feed him and get a thornmail you should be fine lategame.”
Phrxshn says “Avoid wasting your skills on his Warrior Trickster(W) or his Clone and just kite his Cyclone(R) to prevent any more impact from Wukong. Slow Wukong with Facebreaker or The Show Stopper out of team fight if he uses his Cyclone. (Recommended Items: Plated Steelcaps) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even) (Outscaling Edge: Even)”
montybucket says “The Wukong matchup is annoying, but nothing more than that. You'd think a champ with tones of mobility and CC would beat morde but he doesn't. Once he gets caught in an extended trade you'll win. Once you catch him with death realm you win. Its just the early levels when you can screw up. His level 1-3 is superior to morde's. This is where he'll play more aggressive, so don't go for trades early. Mid game you beat his ass and late game you won't meet him much unless its a team fight, but there your more concerned with the enemy carry. ”
TroviStyle says “[Conqueror] Is this even a toplaner anymore? On lane, you will haev a rather hard time if u dont manage to parry his R after 6. Before you are fine as long as you make sure to have short trades against him. Try to poke vitals so cant block them all with his clone. Take red trinket to help finish him off. Only use ult on him after he used his Clone. In teamfights you can counter him by jumping into his R with Q + W if he tries to go for your teammates to stun him and cancel his R.”
LegitLechner says “Can be a counter but like morde they have to know why. Easy to play off his clone. I like q max in this lane for poke and wave clear. Havent lost to a wukong since season 10.”
duckling213 says “Don't let this monke breathe play agro early levels, he does get a nice power spike at 6, but if you can play around that he's done for, if we stay even and even slightly ahead on cs we can delete him late game even tho he is a little chunky.”
SilverAvalanche says “He needs to snowball this matchup or else he is just an ult bot when he makes it to 3+ items. So just farm it out and get as much CS as possible and don't trade with him too hard outside your turret since he can 100 to 0 you with his double ult. When Wukong Es towards you should should just Q him, but diagonally so you will have space between him and you, instead of Q'ing through him. Also get a sweeper once you are Red Kayn so you know when he clones himself, and then Ult the right one. Also important is that you should Ult out right away, since Wukong's CDs are very short. ”
Drake6401 says “Buy an early Tiamat. The item's AoE will reveal his location when he's cloaked so you'll know when he duplicated. Renekton's does even better at it. For the laning phase, play very patiently for kills but aggressively with poke. Renekton has sustain but Wukong doesn't. E-Q trades work very well to create an HP gap. Hold onto your W because it prevents him from extending the fight. If you W his clone, he can hard engage you. Take low risk plays against him. If he's low HP under tower, push the wave and walk in for him and try baiting his clone. If not, then W-Q-E out. if you hit the clone, Tiamat will proc many times and your Q so you may kill him anyways if low enough. If not, just leave tower and no harm to you done.”
Rhoku says “TL;DR - DIFFICULT LANE. WUKONG BEATS YOU EARLY. HE BEATS YOU AT 6 IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL. DON'T TRY TO Q HIM IF HE HAS IGNITE. BUILD STEELCAPS. TAKE CONQUEROR. AFTERSHOCK SHOULD WORK. GOAL IS TO SURVIVE. YOU CAN'T WIN IF HES GOOD. TRY TO FARM AS WELL AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT TAKING ANY DAMAGE. KITE KITE KITE. DON'T EVER STAND IN FRONT OF HIS FACE.
Wukong went from an easy lane to one that is essentially a counterpick. If you don’t die to him then you should be good to go but the problem is that he is MUCH better at EVERYTHING than he used to be. I don't know what the fork Riot was thinking but they essentially took out NOTHING and added 50 things to his kit, with half of them being specifically made to fight Bruisers. If you die to his cheese, then just play safe. He snowballs EXTREMELY hard. He can also ult twice so there is that to look forward to. If he takes ignite, you have to be very careful when fighting him. You must not lose any trade. VS any intelligent Wukong, don't try to Q him. He will just dash on you and start autoattacking with his massive AS steroid. You can take Sweeper if you want to catch him reliably after his invis but your Bleed stacks reveal him so this is not always necessary. He is good at working with a jungler post-6 so keep that in mind. Conqueror works best but take Aftershock if you want to play safer. Just try to survive laning phase to be honest. This character is COMPLETELY broken.”
RivalOCE says “Wukong wins level 1 with E start. Look for short sharp trades, then all in when he's 40/50%. I think Riven's level 6 is better for 1v1 fighting, but if you fall behind the game is probably over for you. Try to E his Q or E damage.”
Chease says “His passive gives armor, E cancles your AA for some reason and he can go invisible. Try to land E+W combo, if you don't fuck up you should win lane.
NOTE: If you build gore drinker his clone counts as enemy champion so you heal more.”
ak521 says “It's a pain to win this - you need to abuse him when his clone is on cooldown, or try to bait it out if it's not. Beware of his strong Level 1.”
The Rock Titan says “"[Comet, Doran's Shield, Q > W] - Wukong is pretty easy, build armor and you should be fine.
- You need some armor before you can kill him, if you don't have armor and you try to all in, he can do a lot of damage and you won't even know what hit you...
- Once you have armor, Q him all the time, Then you can all in him when he's low. He'll drop his full combo on you but you can tank it.
- Don't fight beside his clone!"”
sock217 says “Very slippery and unpredictable. You can probably win an extended fight if he tower dives you, but his engage is too sudden outside of that. His knockup is deadlier than it seems.”
YasTilt says “Be careful against him he can easily bait you, Take an Oracle Lens so you distinguish his clone. Stay away of it by the way. Take some Anti-Heal too. If he uses his Ult, just Disengage and wait for him to use his 3 Knock-Ups.”
FeedLaneGetCaryd says “(Bone Plating+Armor+DBlade) Wukong beats you early, but you should win 1v1's after lvl 9; his teamfights are as good as yours, he also splitpushes well. It's important to not Q his clone because then your W will target the clone. Save E before he uses W. He can stop your E with his R. ”
PK Noob says “Wukong isn't a threat at all and is more annoying than threatening. His CC will be a problem if his team is there to follow up, but he can't 1v1 you.”
jmp_01_ says “Take Conqueror. You can choose between Ignite or Teleport. You don't beat him level 1, even with his recent nerfs. He has too much armor/HP regen from his passive and gets too much attack speed from his E as well. You can beat him levels 2-5. Don't bother fighting him level 6 because it's probably the strongest level 6 powerspike in the game. Don't waste your W, he'll just kill you in no time. Rush Plated Steelcaps and Bramble Vest if you want. Don't let him bait your R with his clone. It's critical in teamfights as well, if you ult his clone then your backline won't be able to do anything.”
sachow says “O ngc com o wukong é q muita gnt n sabe jogar contra é q simplesmente ele vai pra cima de vc e sai brigando cntg e dps vaza, mas no nivel 6 ele te espanca. COMO GANHAR: ate o nivel 6 agressiva nele e e se ele for brigar liga ghost e vai pra cima dele”
Psychopathic Top says “Most important part of this matchup is that you have to engage first. If you get engaged on by Wukong first you die. Engaging first would mean you get a Q onto him first and also do damage to him before he can stack his passive (gives him a lot of armor), also means he must react to it with his R, which he doesn't want to do, because Wukong want to engage with it to fast stack his passive. basically, if you are looking to kill Wukong, be the first one to go to have a better chance at winning the 1 v 1. Mid game He out teamfights you unless his R is really bad. If you win side at that point just drag him away from the team.”
DippyDan says “Very hard skill matchup. Wukong wins the level 1 with passive and E start. Also wins level 6 if you don't parry it. TIPS: [1] Don't fight level 1, but level 2 is okay.
[2] Go Goredrinker to proc on him and clone.
[3] Try to parry his R2 since he only has a short opportunity to recast.”
Hecki says “Go Boneplating and Dorans Shield. Stay out of his range and don't trade unless you have all abilities up. If he Es into you kite backwards and in case of him using his W to disengage you can use your Passive Autoattack to heal on his clone or your Q's.”
IvernLover74856 says “Start DShield because he wins lvl 1 with his Q poke
Your E will disappear when he does his clone thing and remain on the real one, which completely counters it
He can dash into your range and outdamage you so much you will cry. Get your marks and play passive until you're ahead of him (never)”
DemonicTrail says “Yes he gains armor and health regen in fights, but his W gives you another champion to spawn tentacles from with your R, when you hit your E on him, even if he W's you have true sight on him”
KoKoNwoo says “His damage when he reaches level 6 is INSANE. Watch out for this. You can fight him once you reach level 3. W his Q to reduce the damage. His Q is his main source of DPS so if you can W it you are in the winning seat for the one verses one. ”
Unmasked Kayle says “[Standard runes; Dblade] Skill matchup like Fiora. Your PTA animation allows you to distinguish the real one from the clone. When He uses his dash, Q immediately to guarantee it hits, then keep attacking him while kiting. At 6 he can kill you with his R, which has a shorter cooldown than yours. Time your R for when the effect of his R1 expires, low elo Wukong will always Q right after his R animation.”
IAmStryker says “Starting Items:
-Cloth Armor + 4 pots
-Dorans Blade
Lane:
He will always out trade you with E>AA>Q>W and you will not be able to fight back.
You will still not be able to fight him at lvl 6 because he has WAY to much sustain damage in his kit that there is nothing you can really Ult, exept maybe his first R cast.
Pro Tipp: You will be able to 1v1 him at lvl 11, because you will be going the Tank shredder Items against hsi Armor giving passive and because the waves that you get from your AA will reveal him inside of his invisibility.”
Beecai says “RUNA RECOMENDADA: AERY.--- Tenes que abusar antes del nivel 6 ya que el Rey de los monos no tiene ninguna opción de plantarte cara, trata de utilizar tu ''Q'' cuando sepas que es él y no el clon o bien cuando te tire su ''E'' ya que esta le da velocidad de ataque y generalmente el combo que utilizan es ''E + Básico + Q + Básico + Basico + W (Hacia atras para hacer disengage). Otra alternativa es que el wukong haga engange con la W en lugar de la E, pero perdería metodo de disengage y comería daño free.----------------- Si sacaste ventaja antes de su nivel 6 el resto de la linea será relativamente sencilla, pero no puedes darte margen a error ya que su R aún sigue teniendo daño base bastante elevado. ”
SunOak says “Wukong is very annoying early he has a lot of burst damage so be carefull trying to farm early. Starter item should be cpot or a dorans shield.”
Alan234 says “Go the standard PTA build.
You can q his q and win the all ins, but you need to be careful of double ults with his clone and of his gank setup for his jungler. Since his passive only gives him armor you can sort of win every all in after 6, however laning phase can be rough due to his stickiness. In the current 12.4 form wukong isn't that strong and doesn't have very good items to build vs teemo so you straight up win the statcheck”
Mr. Popper says “Wukong trades very effectively into mini gnar early game where he can easily zone you from the wave at most points of lane phase if your not careful. He also has multiple ways to get to you with his dash on his E and his stealth dash on his W. Play safe play back and look to poke him down and then engage with mega gnar to finish him off. ”
Kartagoo says “This lane can also be rly hard cuz he has burst and long trade potential and also makes it hard to hit your Q when he uses his W decoy. So just farm your lane and get your Sunfire ”
MrShykun says “LANE DIFFICILE WUKONG VOUS BAT AU DEBUT IL VOUS BAT EGALEMENT AU NIVEAU 6 SI VOUS NE FAITES PAS ATTENTION N'ESSAYER PAS DE LE A SI IL JOUE IGNITE (POUR LE POKE) FAITE DES TABIS ET CONQUEROR EN RUNE ESSAYER DE FARM DANS PRENDRE TROP DE DEGATS ET ESSAYER DE LE KITE NE LUI FAITE PAS FACE. PETIT TIPS GRATUIT SI VOUS ATTAQUER WUKONG AVANT QU'IL W VOUS LE SAUREZ PUISQUE LE CLONE NE SAIGNERA PAS (PASSIF). wukong est passé d'une lane facile a presque un counterpick si vous ne mourrez pas en lane contre lui vous devriez être good mais le problème est qu'il est bien meilleur qu'il ne l'étais . Je ne sais pas a quoi riot penser mais ils ont fait changer le champion en ne lui retirant rien mais en ajoutant plein de chose a son kit dont la moitier lui permettant de fight les bruisers il snowball très bien . Il peut également ultime deux fois donc faites attention a cela si il joue ignite il faudra faire tres attention pour le trade contre un wukong intelligent n'essayer pas de le Q il va juste vous E et gagner énormément de vitesse d'attaque essayer juste de survivre a la phase de lane ce matchup est one sided.”
King Turtle says “It's not too hard to win trades against him early, but once they get sunderer the healing is incredibly annoying. His quick trades can prove to be hard to match.”
KillMeKillMe says “He's got good damage, he's tanky, he's mobile so he's hard to poke down, and his ultimate has a knock up (meaning tenacity won't help) that also deals percent health damage.
don't be overly aggressive and perhaps consider building anathema's chains early on.”
quinoa says “This should be a very easy matchup. If you play Gangplank right, you can zone him off you with your barrels. You punish him hard and outscale him a lot.”
Vandenelis says “currently has insane damage, you can outsustain him in lane and kill him, but he does way more damage to you than you do to him, dont stand next to him and his clone at once. later on in the game his ult is bigger cc than your q, and you can't 1v1 him because his divine sunderer heals him for insane amounts of damage.”
Bombabo says “Wukong is as annoying an opponent as he is an effective one. His W can be used to reset your purge lock-on, and they fact that he gets 2 knockups makes him much harder to deal with.”
SettVEVO says “Alright this champion is good at dueling, good at splitpushing, good at teamfighting, is tanky and does a lot of damage. Nothing hurts more than ulting his clone and not him. You can't even get close cause his ult will knock you up. He gets free armor with his passive, and he wins level 1. His trades are unfair with him using E and Q to just W out, or maybe he just Qs with insane range which also shreds armor. The only way to win is to land a max grit W after you stunned with E into an ultimate into punching him to death. But if he's smart he won't ever all in you without you having lower health than him. Mid to late game just try to ult him between his ult so his second ult doesn't hit your team.”
Papa Urgot says “This guy also thrives on long trades due his passive. Steelcaps, bramble vest. But his passive only works with armour your Q is magic damage, your W is magic damage and your sunfire is magic damage. not too bad.”
Spiderfork says “Generally major threat early game. Once group fights start happening, you will find that his damage and ultimate will matter less as long as starts getting held back.”
RTO says “You should win all trades due to your sustain. Make sure you don't waste your stun on your clone. Misplay of your W is the only way that he can kill you. ”
Fryx says “Wukong shreds your Armor and you will have trouble winning small trades. Don't worry too much about all of the trades let Wukong push he can't do much against you under turret so you can poke him with Q for free. Or Max E and go defensive with Dorans Shield.”
wff010 says “Confusing matchup for me. His e cancels your auto attacks for no reason, which fucks me up so much. Spam E Q combo and you should win. Save W for full grit or you'll die. Also, Goredrinker gives you double heal if you hit both his clone and him at the same time so that's good.”
Vispectra says “Not a good lane for you I'm afraid. Wukong is AD and despite being a fighter , he acts more like an assassin being able to either kill you or set you up for a free easy gank with clone , dash into R. You will scale and eventually be able to kill him just be sure to not waste your abilities on the clone. Your R is aoe and so is your E take advantage of that to damage him when he clones.”
qosmox says “You should win trades every single level pretty hard up until lvl 6. Abuse that to the max. Slowpush lvl 1. Start doing short trades lvl 1 with Emp Q’s and your shield, and if you hit lvl 2 first then taunt in for a trade. If you don’t hit it first, just keep short trading with Q and save E until he commits or uses his W. Lvl 3 you win even harder if you use your W to block his Q. You have huge kill threat in this lane if you play trades well.”
SanLourdes says “Wukong's ult can knock you up and disrupt your Q. Other than that, most of his damage comes from short trades. Watch out for his early game power and play safe until you get enough armor and health to fight him. Don't use your ult when he has his clone, or you will risk wasting it.”
CucumberSandwich says “Another skill matchup that probably slightly favours Wukong. However, you beat him early and can look for kills levels 3-6. Try to engage with Q, bait out his clone and run around with your W on.”
Dbthegamer74 says “I recommend you take D shield into wukong for starting out,when you get comfortable take dorans blade into him. Take W level 1 it catches them off guard just like fiora.If they have ignite don't do this level 1 take Q instead.Build tabbies and brambles and you will be fine. Use E to catch them off guard, avoid taking Q poke from him.”
calbino says “Extended fights against Wukong will usually end up in him winning, especially if he has Ignite. However, Bone plating, Steelcaps, and proper spacing are all you need to win post level 6. Before then, try to short trade/poke him.”
SavagePridestalker says “This matchup might be hard at levels 1-2, but after you get a few levels and a bramble vest, it becomes super easy. You will always outheal him and most likely outdamage him with your W.”
Marwaii says “Can easily kill you in mini Gnar. Just try to poke him, you can't beat him as mega Gnar before mythic. You can only kill him if he's below half HP from your poke.
Take Divine + Plated.”
oogoogerson says “He does a lot of damage but you can kill him if you take Ignite. He outtrades you early so wait until 6 and run away from his R with Ghost and your R. Do not flip the wrong Wukong or you lose the fight.”
Safolet says “This confrontation is one of the ones I like the least, because Wukong can get close to MegaGnar very easily and hit him several times and then benefit. I almost always play very safe to help me junglero and we can kill Wukong.”
Breadcrumbs says “Very Wukong Favoured - play passive and seek to kill him around level 3. W his damage. Try and poke him levels 1-2 but don't commit to a full trade.”
SethPRG says “This matchup is just unplayable in team fights and in lane if they know what they're doing, especially with the absolutely disgusting Divine Sunderer buffs. This is my permaban and I suggest you do the same. Wukong gets free armor penetration, and it's easy for him to dodge literally all of your abilities with his clone, you'll be sitting there unable to do anything in retaliation. The only thing you can do is watch how he utilizes his clone and figure out his patterns, and then use your abilities based on what you learned, but even then, it’s hard to consistently predict when Wukong will use his clone, so you just need to play around his cooldowns and avoid fighting for the most part. One of the only good things about this matchup is you can stun him into his clone, use that to your advantage when possible. If you ever use TP and Wukong matches, it's more than likely that you will lose that fight unless you and your team have a decent advantage in HP and Cooldowns. If Wukong TPs first, unless you need to match (an objective is up or something), it would be better to take farm and turret plates while he TPs, that way you can build a gold advantage in lane and try to pressure him off the wave hard when he comes back. If Wukong splits in the side lane or engages on your team you will need to be the one that responds. You should avoid trying to engage in a team fight as Wukong will either dive your backline, or he will just ult you, making it impossible for you to position for a good W, E, or R. Start with Doran's Shield, rush Plated Steelcaps and Bramble Vest. Stridebreaker is good here to try to catch him out with your team and slow him from engaging. It also is a good escape tool and helps you reposition your ult when Wukong knocks you up with his. Eventually build a Thornmail, go Resolve Secondary, and take Bone Plating. ”
VeneficusFerox says “Although rare in mid lane, I've seen it and it hurts. He can sneak up on you and smack your ass and there is nothing you can do about it.”
SpartanDumpster says “With just one combo he can take most of your health while you're mini. Unfortunately, he can also make it difficult to play safe and farm, so chances are you'll spend more time mini than usual, and your health will be so low that you won't be a threat when you transform.”
joelspaho121 says “Always ban. Out of my 1.1k games of darius wukong has been my ban for almost 750 or more games so I can't give a fair share on this matchup. Honestly if you somehow left him open I'd dodge.”
El Leon Gnar says “Wu doesn't have a high-range gap close, but if he gets on top of you during a trade you'll get chunked fast. Just farm up until stridebreaker + steelcaps and you should be fine, if he starts getting ahead just play back and farm with Q. You can track his clone with your passive stack so watch out for that.”
Kindredgarten says “Decent jungler, make sure to ult before he can knock you up. You can get him low in your ult to kill him and kite him out after he uses clone.”
K1ng OZIL says “DIFFICULT LANE. WUKONG BEATS YOU EARLY. HE BEATS YOU AT 6 IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL. DON'T TRY TO Q HIM IF HE HAS IGNITE. BUILD STEELCAPS. TAKE CONQUEROR. AFTERSHOCK SHOULD WORK. GOAL IS TO SURVIVE. YOU CAN'T WIN IF HES GOOD. TRY TO FARM AS WELL AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT TAKING ANY DAMAGE. KITE KITE KITE. DON'T EVER STAND IN FRONT OF HIS FACE. Wukong went from an easy lane to one that is essentially a counterpick. If you don’t die to him then you should be good to go but the problem is that he is MUCH better at EVERYTHING than he used to be. I don't know what the fuck Riot was thinking but they essentially took out NOTHING and added 50 things to his kit, with half of them being specifically made to fight Bruisers. If you die to his cheese, then just play safe. He snowballs EXTREMELY hard. He can also ult twice so there is that to look forward to. If he takes ignite, you have to be very careful when fighting him. You must not lose any trade. VS any intelligent Wukong, don't try to Q him. He will just dash on you and start autoattacking with his massive AS steroid. You can take Sweeper if you want to catch him reliably after his invis but your Bleed stacks reveal him so this is not always necessary. He is good at working with a jungler post-6 so keep that in mind. Conqueror works best but take Aftershock if you want to play safer. Just try to survive laning phase to be honest. This character is COMPLETELY broken.”
DaSticks says “This champ is super annoying. Lane can go either way. He is super hard to deal with if he gets ahead. Definitely get seekers armguard early. blind him while he dashes if you can. Be careful of his ult, it is super broken.”
Helix128 says “SURVIVE
he can clone himself and go invisible, he can knockup everyone with his ult.
he can bonk you.
he has everything he needs to kill you.”
I am so chill says “poke him with ur 1st q and 2nd dont go for 3rd q cuz after that he may turn to you and go for a all in.Make a distance between you and him.Watch out for his clone and you can win the lane.”
ApollonATH says “Wukong can beat you with ease if you use your E Q W combo on his clone . Bait his clone then go all in. He melts tank so i recommend going the hybrid builds with some ad or ap ”
deathwalker7119 says “Matchup fucking sucks, spam ping jungle for assistance. You need to parry his dash in as you will usually parry his Q as well. Once he presses R once, you should try to parry this but if you don't its okay, but either way once he uses the fisrt one, FUCKING RUNNNN, the second r will screw you over and if he gets it off youre probably already dead.”
Nekosett says “This man will end your life at level 6 also he will q you when you go for minions for poke try to force a fight early and get a lead because after he gets divine you will lose every fight ”
RealIreliaCarriesU says “This matchup is pretty annoying and unforgiving however you can still beat him. Start E and stun him in your minion wave as he will look to jump you whenever possible. Let it crash to your tower and when it starts pushing back look for fights with your stacked passive. You HAVE to land your E to win, don’t worry too much about him clone jumping to avoid your E, most of the time you will clip him as he is dashing through and you get two Q marks (pretty sweet). You should win especially if you are lvl 3 when he is lvl 2 which is the whole point of his passive strat lvl 1. Try to W when he dashes in as they almost always dash in auto Q so if you W all of this you reduce a lot of damage. Post 6 try to avoid being between two clones as he will maximize his ult damage that way and use minions to kite out his ult if possible. Do not Q him while he is ulting as it will cancel your Q and make sure you land all of your abilities when going for an all in and start with passive stacked.”
Xolarix says “Wukong will make you waste your abilities on his clone. Add to that his armor passive that increases over time in each fight and he becomes very difficult to deal with, but he falls off later in the game.”
tibs2 says “Bramble any% speedrun. You kind of shut down everything this champion tries to accomplish. Focus on w this champion when he tries to e and dont take your eye off him in teamfights. If he cant get to your backline he cant be useful. ”
SadmanV3 says “Favorable matchup for Wukong, he can constantly poke you, and deal significant damage over time. Wither helps significantly with disengaging from Wukong. Don't even think of fighting him until you are level 6, and even then, unless you have an item advantage, it is recommended not to fight him until the 12 minute mark has passed.”
svjade says “His illusions and constant attacks make it practically impossible to counter him, personally I always have a hard time playing stay-safe against Wukong.”
DunkinDumpling says “wukong is hard but there is counterplay, everytime he jumps on you with his e, you can pull him and then q right after. i recommend rushing armor agianst wukong. it lowers his damage he does to you even though his q gives armor penetration. ”
JeanMichelBambi says “Wukong can stealth and clone himself while doing so, making landing hooks a diffcult task, he most likely wont win before level 6 since he lacks in ways to stop you from simply walking away from him.”
Ponkstronk says “You can beat him before lvl 6. Keep the trades short. His passive is insane in the early game. The amount of armor he gets is nutty. Punish early, dont fight him at 6+”
Noodles912 says “This champ is just broken. Sit under tower and afk farm till you outscale. Take TP as a get out of jail free card, and ping MIA if hes gone.”
teemodumbstupid says “He has one sided trades early game in his favor, so try to play safe. You can save E to see if he uses his clone or not. You can win after you have sheen and lucidity boots.”
Urgodzilla says “His W is very painful to deal with: if you waste E and/or R on his clone you are screwed. Remember that his lvl1 is insanely strong with jump, damage and AS bonus.”
Draconic56 says “Wukong is a pretty easy matchup and you scale better than him. Try to poke him with Q's and if he steps up to farm punish him. Be careful not to ult his clone as this will fully negate your ult and put it on cooldown. Plated steel caps are helpful.”
negoZoma69 says “Wukong can all-in you very easily but is less of a threat when compared to Irelia, Akali and Rengar. You can rush some armor vs him and if you're AP you can poke him safely. ”
Zaloufi says “Wukong is extremely powerful against bruiser thanks to his Q that shred your armor. If you ever die to his cheese, play safe because this champ snowball very hard. He is pretty good against Darius because of his E that gives him a massive AS steroid. If you try to Q him when he has it, he'll probably just dash into you and spam AA+Q until you die so be careful. However your bleed stacks reveal him so you can keep chasing him after his W. You just need to survive laning phase and you're good to go.”
idadees says “In generale la sua forza oltre la passiva che aiuta i primi livelli, e quella di diventare invisibile, cosa che il più delle volte gli permetterà di evitare le vostre abilità.”
R3mI says “wukong is strong and if you want to take s o me minions at level 1 he will keep e you and hitting you and thats why you need to wait till level 3 to deal dmg to him you can q him but don't w or he can using w clone and you w the clone. and when he lvl 6 be careful at his full combo and ult you can't win vs him even if you use all because he keep moving when using ult and you can't q him correctly and you need to e back and try q to cancel his e if is trying”
Docoda says “He's easy to poke down early and you'll win trades, but if he gets safe enough to 6 and gets a buy things might get awkward during a full rotation with his ultimate.
Depending on state of the items you or he might be stronger at times.”
SleeplessX says “He has several ways around your E and gets free armor, but you can fight if you play smartly starting from lvl2 (lvl1 he just Es you and wrecks you)”
Dorom says “This monkey is SO GODDAMN FRUSTRATING! He has dashes, knock-up, armor pen on Q, auto attack reset and A CLONE! This champion is almost unplayable against if he gets sheen on you, rush Plated Steelcaps and play safe.”
SpartanDumpster says “This one is based on assumption as I haven't gotten to play this match up yet. Wukong needs to make multiple short trades in order to finish you off with an all-in, similar to yourself. You can make good trades when he tries to do this. If he is ready to all-in you, and you recognize and play it right, your W will prevent him from using his E on you as long as he can't get inside of it, so if anything you have good escape potential against him.”
Ducati says “Really trash matchup.
Wukong is burst champion, excelling at short trades. So dont.
Oh, hes going to all in at level 6.
Keep track of his clones. its a really long cooldown.
Keep track of his ignite and his ult.
Honestly, you might have to build ninja tabis if it gets super rough.
”
raede says “Although Wukong is a strong champion and can give you a tough time, if you W him before he clones, you will have that W down and be able to win the fight from then on out.”
Runtley says “Wukong can be hard since most of them just use there clone and dash at you 24/7. Try and stand by your shrooms so when he dashes he gets hit by your shrooms after a while he will stop once he keeps getting poison damaged and you will be safe but stay on those shroomies. ”
Alekra says “To win trades you have to play around his Clone. If you can hit your combo on the real monke you will most likely win. Do not trade for too long as his passive really helps him there.”
Erenando says “His early damage might be powerful, but he gets lots of weaker after you stack some armor and even his black cleaver won't help him that much. You'll destroy him if you stack decent.”
GrGamingTeo says “If you go against a decent Wukong you will have a bad time killing him or even surviving agaist him. I reccomend you to take Aftershock so whenever he tries to jump on you, you just E (Aftershock activates) and trade AA, W and walk away.”
Olaf Only says “Very close matchup at all stages of the game.
His passive helps him sustain all short trades, so your best bet is to Poke with Q and go for All-ins.
Pick up Oracle Lens to counter his W ability.
Wukong is tankier than Olaf and has more mobility in teamfights.
The only upside Olaf has is CC-immunity.”
LunaticDancer says “A spicy and sometimes annoying lane, but mostly a skin match up. Big mechanical tip: if you throw an E at him and the mark symbol disappears - that's a decoy you are seeing. Sometimes your ghouls will jump at his real location, so trust your little buddies. Be very careful with diving this guy, because his ultimate can put you in a very nasty situation.”
lolkayleee says “[Grasp + Divine]
[Ignite + TP]
Start Q. If he doesn't have Lethal Tempo you can walk up to the wave and start charging up your grasp. aa-Q-Q if he goes for a minion, but if he goes on you first with his E -- make sure you don't auto him for your passive shield unless you get an armor shield (his E deals magic damage so wait for him to auto you after he uses E).
If he has lethal tempo you can start W. He will E onto you because he knows he will win level 1. Auto him for your shield and just keep walking away. W him in return after you have separation.
When hookshotting onto him. Hookshot a little past him because most Wukongs with dash backwards with their clone. If you hit them that's great, if you didn't then they dashed in a direction that puts them in a vulnerable position. When using your R or Ignite make sure he has already used his W so you don't accidentally waste your ignite/R.”
DarkAuraLOL says “he has a bad clear, you can invade him, 1v1 him in jungle if he's low, he doesn't have much sustain so you should be fine, you have better ganking kit .”
Dotje says “Early game you can try to gain a lead. But once he gets a few items he can easily burst you down. With some skill you can win this matchup.”
SpyDaFX says “skill matchup. don't stun his clone or you'll might die. try to kill before level 6 (level 2 is a good option to all in), when he gets level 3 (his clone), it gets hard since you'll need to predict and know when he will use it and predict his movement. go Conqueror”
Ravenborne says “ Slightly outdamages you early and can dodge your Q easily with his clone. Also slows your stacking down by knocking up with his R. You are stronger than him levels 1 to 3. If you stay even with him, you should be able to beat him. One neat trick you can do is when he uses his clone, immediately E in the direction he moved and cast Q to get a 2-man heal off. Do not let him poke you down for free, always trade with him,”
Kil4fun says “Ignite or teleport, he wins into you. He out trades you, will try and push you out of lane the second he sees you at 1:36. His ult shreds you and you can't do much into it. ”
Jaborsh says “Wait next to the turret and headbutt him into it. Or "W" "Q" then activate "E" while running, or fight him to death if you know you'll get him.”
MarkFromSingedMains says “Pretty much never seen, just don't be silly and fling his W or something and you should be fine. He will try and all-in you at level 6 but doesn't have the damage to break through your R. The second cast of his R can be a pain, so try to get distance inbetween R's.”
Devilofthewest says “This opponent is more confusing to fight than actually threatening, bait out his double then fight him hard durring that skills cool down. After level 6 its hard to fight his ult even if you use your shield he will spin behind it. After that i recommend using extreme caution even if ahead.”
kingchas2 says “He can jump on you, make you waste PTA on his clone, and the extra armor he gets from his passive makes you do very little damage to him. Beg for ganks and cry.”
ModelitoTime says “Really tricky matchup. Wukong is really strong early game, but since he is pretty squishy compared to other top laners you can still fight him if you play properly. Dont try to force your E on him because most of the time he will just clone mid way and you will flip his clone and not the real one, and then your W will focus the clone aswell rather than the real Wukong. try to poke him with regular auto attacks and if he uses his clone Q the real one *the one that isn't standing still* then you can all in him and secure a kill. But if Wukong has his ult up most times you wont be able to kill him since he can just ult when you E and then run away.”
chokoryu says “He can dash towards you, use an empowered hit on you, then back out for free because he has clone so you can't Q him. Try to E and not fight unless you can land a Q when he is at 50% health or below early game at least.”
ineptpineapple says “Stealth high dmg and burst. Be careful and dont be afraid if you feel like he is sneaking around to throw out a q or two to scout out the area. Deleting him should be pretty simple too JUST DONT ACCIDENTALLY ULT THE COPY! Make doubly sure that it isnt the copy or that he cant do the copy as you try to ult him.”
JannaMainOTP800K says “Use your Q if you think he is about to jump. If you hit him in jump its time to bully him if you dont then the zone you get with Q is enough to make some distance. If you dont hit him in jump play safe untill your Q is back up.
after level 6 its the same. If he cant get close then he cant use ult”
Gym Nasiem says “If you know anything about sett you know that fast mobile champs make it look easy to bully sett but if you get the dead man's plate it should make it less hard so that's why it's at Major.”
Raideru says “In this matchup it's all about how good u are at using your e for the trades, lvl 1 you win with e just don't extend it too much in his wave's side and play for ur lvl 2 and 3. Try not to waste your e to block his q unless u can engage him on that afterwards just walk away. It's generally Jax favored if you don't waste ur e to give him room to play. I advise Lethal Tempo with Dblade.”
LeSocair says “Try to play carefully anyways at level 1 and 2, poke him down and remember to not let him get away with free trades. Remember he can ult twice.”
sauronkaiser says “Same case as Lucian, im pretty sure he will get some nerf in laning phase. At this moment he is just too abusive if played correctly. Most of the matchup will be decided by if you hit your E on him or his copy.”
CattoNuts says “Don't full combo unless his W is down. Play passive level 1 and don't get into his E range. Can start trading at level 2. Don't do extended trades as he wins it 100%. ”
Malol67 says “He stacks armor with passive,you can kill him early but after he gets sheen its kinda over for you.
Get anti heal,some armor and if you have an ap jngl you can win this.”
KillMeMyFriend says “He is a very strong oponent.
After lvl 11 your Waves may hit him while he is invisible and reveal his location, use that to your one advantage.”
iZeal says “I don't even know how this matchup goes since I prefer to permaban this abomination until 200 years of experience break its kneecaps. Let's just say new Wukong has 2 ways of evading your Q, is tankier than you because of his passive, has 2 knock ups, insane extended trades and will build Blade of the Ruined King to continue to murder you.”
hahadead7777 says “Wukong has a lot of surprise burst. It's good to wait until his clone is on cooldown or if it's up to only ult him when you're directly on top of wukong”
Boblet says “I have an eternal hatred for Wukong. Your whole thing you got going on here? He's just better at it. Also can stomp your team mates if you don't perish. Ban or dodge.”
Darius Darius XD says “I hate this monkey, he can literally dodge every spell of yours, he can bait your W and when he gets 6 you literally have no game until he doesn't deal any damage to you, which is a lot later. This is my perma-ban.”
Leukasdf says “Wins trades easily. Will try to poke you lvl 1. His knockup and clone will make it hard for you. Try your best to poke him with your q's but once they're on cooldown, you'll probably die. Don't use all three of your q's but limit yourself to 2.”
AWierdShoe says “You should win trades every single level pretty hard up until level 6. Abuse that to the max. Slow-push level 1. Start doing short trades level 1 with empowered Q’s and your shield, and if you hit level 2 first then taunt in for a trade. If you don’t hit it first, just keep short trading with Q and save E until he commits or uses his W. Level 3 you win even harder if you use your W to block his Q. You have huge kill threat in this lane if you play trades well.
”
TrinityForceYasuo says “Level 1 Start Q -> Let the wave push to you -> Freeze -> Poke with Qs -> Harass when he goes up for cs -> Use your passive to win trades -> You need small trades before you can go for an all-in -> Level 6 preferably let him use R and disengage IMMEDIATELY. Stall out till his R goes on CD and then you can look for more trades”
viktoreeu says “If you play this matchup well you will almost always win 1v1.
be sure to ignite him before he uses his W.
Take short trades (aa+e) or 2aas if he doesnt go resolve.
Widdle him down and kill him. (his passive gives him armor while he fights, dont do long trades).
tempo resolve +ignite.”
NickCola Tesla says “Wukong is a VERY annoying matchup for Sion! His poke is much stronger than yours, his ultimate is able to cancel the channel on your Q, and his damage in an all-ins can easily take you back.
I would highly recommend playing a poke based build into this lane. Wukong has the potential to snowball just as hard as Darius, but the reason I don't consider him a Level 5 threat is because of you being able to outscale him!
Building Plated Steelcaps and Bramble Vest should be enough to negate the majority of his poke, leaving his damage reliant on extended trades.”
StrikeX114 says “Beware of Wukong's Warrior Trickster (W), as it allows him to readily shove waves, engage, and towerdive you. In general, his clone attacks while the player moves, so paying attention to which is which can be critical to your survival.”
Saarlichenbog says “Probably the worst offender and greatest counter to Kalista top. His passive makes it extremely hard to poke him with its increase armour and %max hp regeneration. His Q reduces your already non existent armour in the early game essentially dealing true damage and his W clone can remove all of the stacks on him and place them onto his clone, making your rend stacks on him worthless if not timed correctly. His E is an amazing gap closer to your passive and his ultimate completely immobilises you, rendering you helpless to his burst. Avoid this matchup if possible or ban.”
Chessylex says “Always keep track of his W cooldown otherwise you won't be able to do any damage to him. His E+Q is pretty scary as you can't dodge it if he clicks on you. Play passive asf and only go for trades when his W clone is down. HIs R knocks you up twice so just R in response and disengage then immediately go back in to trade if your HP isn't that low and he can't do shit if all his abilities are on cooldown.”
Captain Dantems says “Cuidado com o seu Q, skill que da bastante dano, e com o clone que ulta também, ainda mais duas vezes. Grasp com chamuscar ou inspiração. Poção corrupta.”
ItsPaulygon says “Fairly easy match up as long as you stun him and not his clone. If you fail to stun him, you're screwed. Also be careful once he reaches 6 as the cc on his ultimate is powerful and the jungler can gank you and get a free kill.”
aiSky says “Kled Q and E grant True Sight of Wukong, making combats a little bit easier against the monkey. However, he still has great stats, making the fight more even. If you play nicely, you can get some kills for sure.”
GLP1 says “You make almost a total counter to him, try to abuse him and get a lot of free kills so it's not a problem later. Remember that you have true vision in Q and E.”
Nicklstherealone says “He can cause big problems. If his clone tanks the whole combo he can easily trade back. And he can reduce your Armor with Q. His Ult has 3 Knockups if he uses it good. Try to farm up and outscale. ”
White Cr0w says “Top tier jungler. Be aware of the monkey. I set a little advantage against him because I almost won matches against him. However, post 6 (so after min 7-8) he will be incredibly strong at ganking and skirmishes.
How to beat him? He has zero sustain on jungle earlygame, doesn't has a true escape apart of decay, he's incredibly squishy before lvl 6 and you can kill him easy after he uses his E + q to farm.
Bringing an early red trinket is a good idea against him.”
IJustWannaCuddle says “Pre 6 you win this. Wait until he clones to use your breath, if you are too trigger happy he will clone out of the path of breath and win trade.”
daito Okami says “D blade conq dom/resolve.
Respect level 1 he will burst you down with e and auto attacks wait for level 2 and when he tries to e you go for e aa e aa q combo. Matchups is pretty annoying you have to poke him down untill hes about 50/60% hp before u can kill him with r don't try to r2 when he is in ultimate it will cancel out.”
Frostyfps says “This matchup is pretty annoying and unforgiving however you can still beat him. Start E and stun him in your minion wave as he will look to jump you whenever possible. Let it crash to your tower and when it starts pushing back look for fights with your stacked passive. You HAVE to land your E to win, don’t worry too much about him clone jumping to avoid your E, most of the time you will clip him as he is dashing through and you get two Q marks (pretty sweet). You should win especially if you are lvl 3 when he is lvl 2 which is the whole point of his passive strat lvl 1. Try to W when he dashes in as they almost always dash in auto Q so if you W all of this you reduce a lot of damage. Post 6 try to avoid being between two clones as he will maximize his ult damage that way and use minions to kite out his ult if possible. Do not Q him while he is ulting as it will cancel your Q and make sure you land all of your abilities when going for an all in and start with passive stacked.”
Mordekaiserrrrrrr says “Wukong is an extremely annoying champion to fight, and most fights with him will be even, but if you accidently waste abilities on the clone or aren't careful, he will kill you.”
TangoVallhala says “SO annoying, he stacks armor, has insane escape and poke, and at 6 he can just run you down, play smart and pay attention to his cool downs, poke him a lot, reserve second Q and E if he jumps on to you,”
ArmandChad69 says “It's all about the mindgame and who can provoke the other's cooldowns out. Make sure to position backwards any time he's about to engage you with E+Cyclone combo”
YoungTact says “You can W His W and E but his E is easier since you can literally see it coming, Respect his max passive/conq stacs so dont go for extended. Always apply lane harass combo when you can. ”
qasddsa says “Be careful against his dash and invisibility; he'll try to use it in lane to harass you. After level 6, be very careful about dueling him, since he can one shot you with a one or two items, so pay attention. Do NOT hold onto your ultimate against him.”
ERNESTSAURUS says “GRASP (SCALING) / CONQUEROR SETUP - DORANS SHIELD / 3 REJUVENATION BEADS + POT =
Wukong since his Mini Rework, similar to Garen, he has become another hard matchup since his dueling power is really strong specially in Early/Mid game. In laning phase, you must respect his early game dueling power, usually he will go for Tiamat and then Trinity Force/Black Cleaver so usually the wave will be on your side of the lane. Remember that he can dive super well with his Clone and R so if you see the enemy jungler near by and he's pushing a big wave onto you, you must back off and respect his power. Usually they will go for Conqueror, Death Dance and Ravenous Hydra and even some Wukongs go for BORK, the point is that he heavily relies on healing to extend and win fights so build Bramble Vest after Trinity Force + Boots. Once you hit lvl 6 and Sheen powerspike you can start doing short trades against him, he wins the 100-0 fight due to his Passive and resistances over time in combat, but if you get him low enough you can kill him. Later on to the game you outscale him and he can't really match you, he will need an ally to help him and it's better to Splitpush since his Teamfight is really strong due to the fact he can spam Knockups with clone. Remember you can stack his Clone with Q.”
SubHuman Filth says “get grasp and seekers early. wukong shits on you in all ins. you need to just lead him to shrooms and poke him down.
call your jungler up around lvl 6. he will look for all-ins at that point.”
Grayified says “Lethal Tempo Triumph Bloodline Last stand + Bone plating revitalize. Ignite + Flash. Dorans shield start. Win the matchup by taking short trades into an allin. It is important that in short trades that you don't just spin away but you actually take 2-3 auto attacks into wukong and then spin away. In a straight up all in Wukong gets so much armor from his passive but if you take trades where you only let him stack it up a little bit then disengage it can be hard for wukong to sustain through that damage. Typically you want to get him down to atleast half before committing to an all in. Again the reason you want to get his hp down some before fighting is so that he cant survive long enough to stack his passive all the way up. Its imporant if you are diving wukong that you try to burn his ultimate or his clone before committing to the dive. When wukong clones, make sure to keep a timer on it in your head because it is a 20 second cooldown early on. Sometimes you can punish his clone being down if he walks back up to you while its still on cooldown. If you don't get an advantage in lane be careful for when he hits his blade of the ruined king spike. He can force a trade on you if you are overextended and 100-0 you without you being able to fight back effectively. In the mid-game if you are behind, just look to farm up and play away from wukong. By late game you will have enough damage to all in him, if he itemizes deaths dance and blade of the ruined king make sure you get executioners.”
CensoredMercy says “Wukong will usually beat Irelia with little counterplay and pure statcheck; it is possible to snowball on him. Dodging Wukong is advised.”
Swaim says “His entire kit revolves around heavy 1v1 pontential and constant mobility be carful after 6 as he may ult you twice and you will lose half your hp
”
qazx1427 says “Hee hoo, it's monkey man. Clones everywhere, vanishes out of your wall if you catch him, kills your ghouls immediately; he's just a pain. You can win the lane if you have the willpower, but he's just such a pain.”
HIGH TEST TOP88 says “My permaban, he gets insane armor and hp regen from his passive and he shreds your armor, hitting him with W is almost impossible since he has both R and W to Fuck up your combos and make it impossible to hit a good W.
I Don't know how to win this matchup, tell me how if you know how to.
You can ult him away in teamfights but 1v1s will always suck.
You need bramble eventually.
Take armor.”
Twist21 says “Against Wukong I would recommend starting lens since you can spot him and not get tricked by his W which is the main thing about his kit.As long as you dont get fooled by his clone you should win.”
AfroNinja542 says “I would recommend going for aggressive runes like PTA or hail of blades against Wukong, especially if he takes electrocute as you can just block all of his AAs, but you don't win in a duel with him if he takes conqueror, so maybe consider taking grasp.”
chloe666 says “Wukong does poorly against AP champions, you're no exception.
Be careful of his all-in potential at level 6, it's as strong as yours. However, he should never be in condition to all in you if you properly poke him with Qs.
Get Tabi if behind. ”
wallobear53 says “Wukong excels when it comes to extended team fights due to how his Q, E and Auto-Attacks work. Consider going for short burst trades against him in your minion wave in order to win the laning phase.
Wukong can’t really roam very effectively pre-six. If he leaves the lane, let your team know beforehand as he can still kill over extended laners with ease. Try to ward the river if you manage to shove the wave in so as to avoid such scenarios.
Once Wukong gets his Ultimate, his all-in potential becomes deadly along with his roaming ability as well. Try to poke him consistently so that he can’t leave the lane easily and if he does leave the lane, make sure you shove the wave to his tower and force him to lose gold and experience.
”
ImVoxxX says “another basic attack based champ, but more difficult since his ult and his Q are not basic attack skill, just try not to blind the fake one”
ClanBlade says “Similar to Jax and Irelia as he is super mobile and able to dodge you Q and W with his E and clone dash. His high armour from his passive makes it hard to deal damage to him and heal of him. Get tabis quick and rush a cleaver by skipping Cauldfield's to deal with his armour.”
M.P.C says “Go aggressive on him during early game and zone him from getting CS. If he uses his Decoy activate your Q immediately to search for him, if your R is up drop it on top of him and give him everything you got.”
Stiwy says “He is a really good fighter and his damage in early game will prove me right.
His engage combo is always the same so you can predict where he is when he clones himself and land a Q.
After level 9 you can kill him, just don't be a stupid like me and don't shoot your ult at the clone because then you will get hard beaten by the monkey.
Start D.Blade or Cull here.”
Gangplank_Main1 says “Runes: Grasp, Demolish, Bone Plating, Overgrowth, Biscuits, Time Warp Tonic, Double Adaptive, Armor.
Start of lane passive auto minion for grasp, can leash.
What to get on first back: Dorans blade
Gangplank wins this matchup until Wukong hits 6. Everytime Wukong uses e on you, spam a click, q him then run away. When your passive is up and wukong jumps onto you, wait for him to pop his clone then pay attention to where he’ll be revealed from your passive, then q him. Try to push the wave to get a level lead against wukong so you can be more oppressive. Wukongs goal in this matchup is to literally survive until 6 since that’s his only kill pressure on gangplank. Wukong can beat gangplank even if you’re healthier than him because of him having two ults with conqueror. Outside of the laning phase you outscale him but in teamfights you have to be careful for his ultimate on multiple people. Always time his flash so you can try and force a fight ( wukong wants his flash up so he can further close the gap ).”
Kingarthur720 says “Lethal Tempo Triumph Bloodline Last stand + Bone plating revitalize. Ignite + Flash. Dorans shield start. Win the matchup by taking short trades into an allin. It is important that in short trades that you don't just spin away but you actually take 2-3 auto attacks into wukong and then spin away. In a straight up all in Wukong gets so much armor from his passive but if you take trades where you only let him stack it up a little bit then disengage it can be hard for wukong to sustain through that damage. Typically you want to get him down to atleast half before committing to an all in. Again the reason you want to get his hp down some before fighting is so that he cant survive long enough to stack his passive all the way up. Its imporant if you are diving wukong that you try to burn his ultimate or his clone before committing to the dive. When wukong clones, make sure to keep a timer on it in your head because it is a 20 second cooldown early on. Sometimes you can punish his clone being down if he walks back up to you while its still on cooldown. If you don't get an advantage in lane be careful for when he hits his blade of the ruined king spike. He can force a trade on you if you are overextended and 100-0 you without you being able to fight back effectively. In the mid-game if you are behind, just look to farm up and play away from wukong. By late game you will have enough damage to all in him, if he itemizes deaths dance and blade of the ruined king make sure you get executioners.”
BloodyDream81 says “Le seul corps à corps du jeu à massacrer Darius en phase de lane, je ne vais pas détailler ce match up car il est un peu particulier, il y en réalité quelques méthodes pour le battre mais ça demande pas mal d'expérience du match up, je te montrerais directement.
Sache juste que tu dois respecter ses dégâts et jouer au milieu de tes sbires, achète rapidement des tabi ninja et attend de l'aide de ton jungle ! ”
Dantheman81 says “Wukong, if ahead, is a ferocious champion who can pentakill by pressing R. However, in order for him to get ahead he must kill you early which he has a hard time of doing if you play safer and don't go in for anything unless you know you can win. He doesn't traditionally build any tanky items so you won't have trouble killing him when you pick up Sheen or Triforce.”
Xplor says “Wukong is a character you don't want to play against on the top lane. He can easily out-trick you, go invisible and run, and his ultimate will make your life a hell on the top lane.
Play defensive and farm under the tower whenever possible.
Do not engage unless you have an advantage or your jungle help you with a gank.
Poke as much as possible with your mist walkers and your E.”
Nyx Adachi says “Puede estar roto, pero le bloqueas su q y lo superas en cuanto a dmg en early, hazte cortacuraciones a lo largo del game y ojo con su clon
”
TotallyEclipse says “Slippery and annoying but you can win easy. Wukongs usually q after their e so e his q and get him to use his w. While it's down, you have an opening to kill him easily. If he uses his w and your e is up, you kill him even harder. Post 6 save your ignite and R for when he R's and he stands no chance.”
ForOrion says “Since Wukong's changes, he has become one of the most annoying sustain champs in the game. Earlier in this build, I gave him a tiny threat meter for his laning but now he can go toe to toe with your damage. Your burst is much higher however, so take advantage of his weak level 1 before he stacks his armor on you.”
JuarezLOL says “its not easy its not hard
there are several steps to do in order to win
1 do not go for wukong wait for him to come to you
2 scale do not risk anything
3 avoid any fight at lvl 6 with him
4 try to guess where he will go when he use his W”
DirtyDishSoap says “Not a common pick, but annoying nontheless.
His clone and him will do a stupid amount of damage with just his Q alone. He can clone and dash out of your wall, and he can usually avoid your all in and ghoul damage.
Once you have some items, he becomes rather tame, but his early game is hard to deal with if you're not prepared or unfamiliar.”
Kingarthur720 says “his recent rework made him a huge nuisance to fight against, his sheer damage output pre and post 6 are too much for graves, if you are ever counterpicking, never pick graves into him you will lose the laning phase and have no presence until the very late game, ”
VIP Titan says “If this monkey dares to fight the berserker and E you. Than E him back. In term of Health stats and attack damage stats.
Tips :
When he got no W to dodge your E. He is basically death. Prevent his E Q spams you in early. Even if he does heals up using W.
MAX E not Q! ”
gabriel5ben9 says “Completly annoying to play against. Don't leave your tower as it reveals hidden units. Only engage if your jungler is there to help you.”
HIGH TEST TOP88 says “UNPLAYABLE, NOTHING YOU CAN DO, I PERMABAN IT EVERY SINGLE GAME, ALL YOU CAN HOPE TO DO IS GET A LEAD EARLY BUT HE GETS 30 ARMOR LVL 1 FROM PASSIVE SO GOOD LUCK”
Discord Rengar Mains says “Yeah, this is a hard, even extreme, matchup. The moment wukong gets level 3 you just can't deal with him reliably, since his clone allows him to just turn around and beat you to death with his increased DPS. You can kill him from levels 1-4, but that's it; after that, it goes downhill because his passive is just tailor-made to deal with melee ADs and it makes him unkillable in long-trade matchups. At 6 do not even think about engaging on him, it's just a waste of time. You can try roaming to other lanes to get a lead there, but if he follows you you are boned, so take that into account.
Ignite is only recommended if you are sure you will kill him early and snowball from there, else TP is more reliable. Conqueror is recommended, since it at least gives you a tiny fighting chance.”
CounterBlad3 says “His new kit provides him insane synergy with Botrk and cleaver and can whittle down Darius easily while also dodging the axe blade from Q”
Itreallyhim says “throw poop at crowd while chilling with fruit in zoo.
Remove his Ult from your team, be careful not to ult his clone, That would be embarrasing.
Short trades against this monkeyS
”
Rivenetto says “Hes bad at short trades while Riven is so good at it.His passive makes him so strong in extented fights.Thats your window to kill him.”
LycheeMochigome says “Hope that your q or e hits him and procs true sight, so you know the location of the real one when he uses his decoy, he also may outdamage you at lvl 6”
Nicklstherealone says “LIKE SHACO WUKONG WILL TRICK YOU WITH HIS CLONE. IF YOU ULT HIS CLONE YOU ALREADY LOST THE FIGHT. IF WE TALK ABOUT A WUKONG TOP (WHICH IS MORE COMMON) THATS KNOW THIS MATCHUP HE WILL E + AA + Q + W AWAY. THIS IS A SAFE TRADE FOR HIM WHICH YOU CANT REALLY WIN IN EARLYGAME. TIP: ALWAYS WATCH FOR HIS ULT. IT WILL STUN YOU 2 TIMES IF YOURE UNLUCKY SO HE JUST BAITS YOUR. LIKE AGAINST OTHER CHAMPIONS YOU WILL HAVE TO COUNTERULT. ”
ShinyEmo says “You may win the lane against him but you will have a hard time at teamfights. After his rework, he can knock you up twice. Legend: Tenacity is a must-have. ”
Loki029 says “Silence to avoid his clone escape,silence to escape of his ult(always consider flashing !!He could Flash too so predict right!!! else if you build hybrit you will be tankier than wukong deal more damage and have a higher sustain than him ”
hephephepeEPEPE says “hes really strong atm because after the rework and i dont think anyone can kill him other than that rush ninja tabi and try to fling him under the tower since they all play aggresive early game
”
G0rdo1 says “it really depends on your skill if you can win him or not. if you fail to see when he w and waste all your attacks on the fake wukong he instantly win the trade”
DemonAngel60 says “Can use his Warrior Trickster (w) to bait your Ultimate then turn and use either a e - r - q - r or simple e -q -r - r combo tu burst you down”
Judgepepper123A says “wukong is fast with his clone on his side but if you can't tell which on is the real wukong then all you have to do is wait until he stops moving and the clone will dissapere then revealing wukong unless you have a oracle trinket.”
ForgottenProject says “After rework Wukong can win lane if you don't play very well!
Be careful and before level 6 Parry his E when he dashes at you. After that you can continue to parry his E or try to predict his R!
Be sure to NOT ULT his Clone!”
SirVermillion says “He out damages you after level 6 so don't even try it. Just trade pre 6 and try to gain dominance but after that just play it safe and don't look to trade. ”
The Lost Drawing says “Mete mucho daño, si carga su pasiva tanquea mas que tu a niveles bajos, y te quita armadura con su 'Q'
Le cancelas una habilidad y pudes salir de su 'R' con tu 'E'”
Trash Collector says “Wukong is strong is current patch and it's W can make you miss your abilities or use your all abilities on his clone he deals pretty high damage also he have armor penetration so it's very hard to play against wukong because you can trade with him he has high kill pressure on you.”
Pedrokis says “Antigamente, uma matchup fácil. Agora, com essa merda de rework que NINGUÉM PEDIU (pq riot??), o Wukong se tornou um champion muito forte na top lane. / Não se pode subestimar o dano do Q dele, que além de tirar bastante vida aos poucos tem um cooldown ridiculamente baixo. / Evita gastar todos os seus Qs nele quando ele usar o clone (ele ficará parado por muito tempo e depois brotará outro cara - o verdadeiro). / A ult dele, principalmente por agora ter 2 casts (véi, por quê??), dá um dano constante ridículo, então tenta tomar cuidado.”
Split King says “See the video guide to see how to deal with this guide.
in short: be cautious early as he can deal a fair amount of damage, but after that, he should be easy”
Big Belly Bop says “Can all in you anytime. Your E will not be enough to stop and get away so you're going to need to play by your turret and not walk up. Flash + TP, Doran's shield, Survivability rune page. ”
LuxIsMyCrush says “poke him hard early, try to null his ingage, keep the Q for when he will jump on you, usually will Q right away and go back or try to kill you, after 6 will just spin around you and probably kill you if you not manage to get few kills on him before that happen.”
Defensivity1 says “Be carefull of his all ins before level 6, once he hits level 6 he could be difficult to deal with and you should always consider going with the grasp page against a wukong.”
Mr. Nyahr says “Don't get baited or juked out by his clones, and dont let yourself get caught in his ultimate. You are just objectively stronger, he shouldn't be able to 1v1 you at any point.”
OneMustFall says “By the time he does any damage, you've already itemized against him and won. You can SS his abilities and auto win trades because he relys on his CDs for burst. Easy matchup.”
Her0mars says “It gets pretty annoying playing against this guy mid-late teamfights just because His knockup applies before you can even land making it near impossible to hit your E in teamfights unless you let him knock you up, then charge up a slingshot.”
Guantecillo says “Depende totalmente de la habilidad de ambos, si le sacas ventaja, no podrá pararte, pero si él saca ventaja primero, te será muy difícil.”
Hamstertamer says “Getting oneshot with 0 counterplay is just soo fun. Wait for him to ult someone else and snipe him from afar, he can't go invisible during his ult.”
PhoenixianSlayer says “His clones are so confusing. Its hard to tell where he actually is, and he can clone in bush so he can just go invisible up to you and murder you. He can't do much if you hide under tower, but still be careful”
Jnewbringspain says “Fairly easy matchup early on as long as you can identity his clone. Do not engage him, wait for him to engage you. After he clones, activate your E and he should show up in time for you to leap to him. You should be able to out trade him this way, but he becomes a bigger threat at level 6.”
messketchup says “If Wukong has blood stacks and w's you will be able to tell that it's a clone, darius also can pull back wukong with his E extending the trade most likely in your favor. Wukong is easy to all in too.”
PandaSenpai101 says “Wukong has a specific trade pattern that he does pre-6, and he has a trade pattern that he does post-6. His main source of damage is his Q, and he uses a E,Q,W combo. When he E's you, parry, to block his Q. His post-6 combo is E,Q,R,W, or E,R,Q,W. Parry after he uses his E. Keep in mind that if Wukong doesn't cancel his ultimate, he can't use any ability during his ultimate.”
Prince Afghan says “Wukong has a fairly strong all in at level 6 with ignite so be careful of that. Otherwise Wukongs rarely if ever build any defensive stats like armor or health, so you will likely be able to melt him if you can hit him with your E and W with a few ghouls. He will want to group and take drakes with his team so let him do that and take towers instead.”
MadMaster523 says “This matchup is pretty hard since he can point and click e q you. He has a gap closer so he is a pretty tough opponent. Try to poke him down with ur q and after he uses his combo auto attack him a few times since he will most likely just run away after his e q combo. ”
Jungle Kings Rage says “Monkey Is Kind Of Impossible To Beat Like Udyr. Though There Arent Many Monkey Players Out There So Theres Almost No Need To Ban Him.”
GrGamingTeo says “Q spam him in and out of the brush. When he gets his w try to bait it out and then auto q ignite him to death. Buy a red trinket so you can see him even when he is invisible.”
BubbaStudmuffin says “The only thing Wukong has on you is his clone. Just be sure that when you are ulting him it is the real him and not his clone. Ulting his clone will not active your ult but it will put it on cooldown. Essentially wasting your ultimate for nothing.”
BurstTheBots says “Dashes are hard to predict especially when they're coming from bushes and his clones are annoying. The best way to predict his clones are to check if he's randomly standing still. Also it's hard to escape them.”
Shderen says “If a Wukong is mid, he's there for a reason. He isn't gonna fork around. He's experienced. Trust me, you think we Soraka mid's are smart? These guys are rockin IQ's of 8000. Pray for some reason he's playing like ass or was originally meant to be top.”
Ethereal Ezio says “For some reason, Wukong always seems to cause problems. His clone can block your E damage too. Grab a pink ward and play safe, and gauge how skilled he is.”
ElleryTheViking says “Another easy counter. He can't fight you at all. If he moves up to cs, just Q and E spam. His damage is tiny. Anything he deals just use W to heal it back. Post 6 if you plan on all inning him, make sure you ult first because if he uses his first, your ult doesn't cancel his knock-up if you're already midair, it still retains it's full effect. A sweeper lens goes a long way in chasing down his W. If you Q him before he uses it, he wont get very far anyway, then he's screwed. ”
SynergyXO says “skill match up, if he holds his R and W correctly.. basically just abuse him early. dont let him scare you away with his burst. he just has burst after that, you have a window to do some damage.”
Samas says “React to his E with yours since he will most likely use his Q just after that, trade him and get out, initiating trade might not work well because of his invisibility. Not having your E in an all in you think you can win might be a crucial mistake since his cooldowns are lower than your E.”
E61K says “Wukongs early game is terrible. He usually looks to dash in to do his rotation and get out with his Clone. The thing is that he has no escape if he uses said abilities to trade. If he ever dashes in auto him before he uses his Clone so your bleed gives an indication of where he is heading from there on just pull him back in and proceed to do your thing.”
SwiftOblivion says “Strengths: Stealth, High early burst damage, high mobility, CC. Weaknesses: Squishy, weak without Clone, Cooldown focused. Careful with this guy’s early damage which is insanely high. Riposte whenever you feel like he's going to dash onto you or activate his ultimate which are his main engages. If you have trouble identifying when he uses his clone, pay attention to your passive. The clone won’t have a vital appear over him to use that to your advantage. Trade when he doesn’t have cooldowns and you don’t have your armor shredded by his Q. If you can survive or get ahead in lane, you should be fine to deal with him. If you fall behind however, you will not be able to fight him for a while. Once you are ahead of him however, he is incredibly weak.”
Miracle Matter says “Another volatile matchup. He will frequently dash onto you and Q you for a hefty trade, then stealth away, or otherwise stealth onto you to do the trade. In either case, watch his movements closely, so you know when he's attempting to stealth onto you (i.e. he suddenly stands still) and when he's trying to get close enough to dash onto you. As long as you stay out of his range, or manage to stun him and auto him a few times after each of his trades onto you, then you'll come out ahead. Tanky alternative build can be valuable here to avoid getting 1-shot during his Ulti knockup before you can respond with your Ulti, but frankly, Zz'Rot's armor will usually be sufficient for that purpose.
Other than that, he has very little options. He's basically a longer-ranged pantheon. Very sudden, annoying burst harass, but then he's a sitting duck, slow and immobile to your harass, and he can't match your waveclear, so. Shove him in, and when you have Ignite ready and he's low, bait him onto you. Double-bomb him under you, ult yourself, and Ignite him; he should die to your bombs+Ignite while you revive.”
drunken hunter says “Wukong is easily killed with the lvl 1 poke and the lvl 2 engage, you have good chances against this champ also because wukong got mana, poke him and trade him to death!”
kkiskk says “His combo damage is very high if he has electrocute and you can't really counter back because of his W invisibility. Be smart and farm under turret if possible. However, don't be afraid if he engage you when you have lots of minions. ”
lxl1Mago1lxl says “he can escape from our fear or from our engage, and his high DPS could make our life hell. Work good with [W] is the only way you can win against him”
S4TAN ES MI DI0S says “All the Top laners that have a way to get close to you will be a problem in lane, but if you can survive the lane phase you'll make him useless in Teamfights.”
Trixelkour says “Considering that you have to lane against this boosted bonobo (Nightblu3 shout out!) You're gonna have a pretty hard time trying not to get combo by his abilities. Take Exhaust and Dark Harvest to beat this monkey. Get an early Zhonya's and Omen to lock him down when he all ins you.”
E61K says “Nobody plays this guy for the same reason nobody plays Garen. Can't say much about him other than he likes to go lethality and one shot squishys. If he uses his clone to poke you in lane force a fight with him since you only win in extended fights against him. He is sort of like a Renekton style of champion. He deals a lot more damage though. Build tankier than usual. Consider building Death's Dance. Tabi rush works well in this lane.”
Mouadyam says “easy matchup, when he decoys you can see where he goes thanks to your bleed, you'll see a blue shadow of his position. just punish him when he goes for cs.”
Demon Lord AC0 says “Like Pantheon, he's likely to rush lethality. Also he can become invisible to dodge your tornadoes, then jump on you to kill you. Rush Tabi and you can go PD first with him too. Start with Doran's Shield just in case. On mid/late his ult knockup will be an issue, so it's probably best to splitpush”
Trixelkour says “I hate this monkey. Sunfire and Aftershock to play it safe. Get Tabi's after and you win. Do not let him snowball early and farm safe. Take minion dematerializer for safe farming and beg for ganks.”
Skullsunderer says “Invisiblility allows for his escape or engage. Just try and do as mucn as you can before he does it again. Buy something to avoid getting bursted like Sterak's Gage or Death's Dance because if he picks up a Duskblade he can proc it twice with his invisibility.”
joelblack says “This little monkey is easy as pie. Titan runes are a must. Just farm carefully and poke as much as possible. Pre-6, if he swoops onto you, just jump away and poke him, he will die faster than you. Post-6, if he swoops you, just ult him into a wall and destroy him before he can ult. Even while his ult is active, ult him away so he can't hurt you, then jump his ass when its over and rek him. ”
Ashnard says “Try to chain wukong asap, since the tether will reveal him in stealth. He starts being a threat after he gets some lethality, you can bully him heavily before that.”
thedunkening111 says “You really want to fight him when his spells are on cooldown. If he ever E > Q > W''s, go in immediately and get your damage off.
Take Grasp or Aftershock.”
L0ganJG says “This matchup is SUPER BAD, you cant win level 1 if he takes bone plating. At level 6 he can always one shot you and your E should never hit if he has W. BUT if you take exhaust + ignite and play SUPER WELL you can catch him lacking and snowball out of control ”
Skaarlschloch says “Still testing this matchup (especially DD rush) as I see it SOO rarely!
Grasp Boneplating Dring Ignite with Scaling Titanic builds
(testing Dblade builds still)
Wukong with Ignite isnt even that weak early lv.2-5 should be his weakest point (lv.1 he is quite strong with E start, but he sadly gets 36 armor + regen from his fully stacked passive lv.1 (stacks whenever he hits champs)
Still you can still win early if you play aggresively for prio but at 6 he suddenly oneshots you even if you are ahead!! You need to build Wardens/Tabis + HP to survive it then you can win
He falls off though and you start winning with Items/Titanic again and i feel Xin is often better in fights win 2-3+ Items”
Haxorr says “This matchup is hard, Wukong beats you pretty easily in all-ins after he has 6 and most will go ignite as well. I would recommend taking Grasp to make the laning phase easier, it's really hard to beat wukong in all-ins. Use your parry early after he uses his clone or when it's down. You outscale so just don't have too much variance in laning phase, play smart and safe and watch out for his lvl 6 all-in”
CactEyez says “Care his early strength, but you can kind of just run Wukong down.
