Darius vs Wukong Matchup Summary
The Darius vs Wukong matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 30 recent matches analyzed, Wukong wins with a 56.7% win rate compared to Darius's 43.3%, giving Wukong a 13.3 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Wukong controls the early laning stage, but Darius outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Wukong needs to press advantages before Darius reaches their power spikes, while Darius should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Darius leads by 0.4s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Wukong has a strong advantage in this matchup. Darius players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Wukong overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
