Wukong Power Spikes (Patch 26.19)

Support

When Wukong Support gets stronger, in the order it happens in a typical ranked game: ability unlocks from the most common skill order, item spikes at the median minute players finish them, and the game length Wukong wins most.

  1. Lv 3
    All three basic abilities at level 3
    Wukong's full combo is online — the first point where trading all-in is realistic.
  2. Lv 6
    Ultimate rank 1 at level 6
    The biggest early spike: look for a kill or a roam as soon as Wukong hits it.
  3. Lv 11
    Ultimate rank 2 at level 11
    Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Wukong can start or win.
  4. Lv 16
    Ultimate rank 3 at level 16
    Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Wukong can start or win.

Item timings are medians: half of players finish later. Fall behind in farm and every item spike moves back with it.

Wukong Mid and Late Game

What Wukong does better or worse than other champions after laning, from this patch's ranked games — percentiles where 100 is the highest of every champion.

Play to these strengths

  • Wukong wins 13.3 points more in long games than short ones: avoid coin-flip fights early and let the game go long.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Wukong is not a damage carry (24/100): don't take fights expecting Wukong to win them alone.

Playing Wukong

  • Decoy and Nimbus Strike work well together to quickly strike your enemy and get out before they can retaliate.
  • Try using Decoy near brush to make an enemy overreact to your movement.

Playing Against Wukong

  • Wukong will often use Decoy after Nimbus Strike. Try delaying your abilities by a short amount of time to ensure that you're hitting the real Wukong.
  • Wukong becomes tougher to kill when surrounded by his enemies. Try to isolate him to gain an advantage.
