MetaBot Tips

  • Wukong has less crowd control than most champions. This can make locking down kills or ganking for other players more difficult.
  • Wukong has a low base movespeed compared to many other champions. Play back towards your tower in lane, and consider early game boots when fighting skillshot-based laners.
  • Wukong has more magic resistance than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against magic damage type enemies.
  • Wukong has more health regen than most champions, making their playstyle optimal for aggressive trades in lane.
  • Wukong has a low base attack speed, which can make last hitting in the early game more challenging. It can also make percentage attack speed items scale less effectively than they do on other champions.

Gameplay Tips

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.
