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.

Wukong dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 71.4% win rate — a 42.9 percentage point lead over Darius. This lopsided early game means Wukong can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Darius is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 56.3% win rate — 12.5 points above Wukong. Extended games heavily favor Darius, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Wukong must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Darius reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Darius survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
