Wukong vs Gnar Matchup Summary

The Wukong vs Gnar matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 5 recent matches analyzed, Wukong wins with a 60.0% win rate compared to Gnar's 40.0%, giving Wukong a 20.0 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.

Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Damage
738Wukong
730Gnar
Damage output is virtually even between Wukong and Gnar, with only 9 DMG/min separating them. Fights in this matchup are decided more by ability timing and positioning than raw damage numbers, making mechanical skill the deciding factor in trades.
Economy
10,368Wukong
10,542Gnar
Wukong and Gnar generate nearly equal gold per game, with just a 174 gold difference. Neither champion has a clear economic advantage, so gold leads will depend on individual play quality, kill participation, and objective contributions.
Utility
0.5Wukong
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. Wukong should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
1,318Wukong
1,137Gnar
Wukong vastly out-sustains Gnar, healing and mitigating 181 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Wukong can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Gnar is forced to recall.
