Gnar vs Wukong Matchup Summary

The Gnar vs Wukong matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 8 recent matches analyzed, Wukong wins with a 62.5% win rate compared to Gnar's 37.5%, giving Wukong a 25.0 percentage point advantage. Wukong dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Gnar players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Gnar leads by 0.9s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Wukong has a strong advantage in this matchup. Gnar 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.

Farming
6.5Gnar
6.3Wukong

Damage
863Gnar
770Wukong
Gnar heavily out-damages Wukong by 93 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Wukong should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Gnar's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
10,330Gnar
10,141Wukong
Gnar and Wukong generate nearly equal gold per game, with just a 189 gold difference. Neither champion has a clear economic advantage, so gold leads will depend on individual play quality, kill participation, and objective contributions.
Utility
1.3Gnar

Gnar brings significantly more crowd control than Wukong, with 0.9 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Gnar far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
1,453Gnar
