WuKong Theorycraft Thread

[quote=PotatisFarfar]First thing i thought was lee sin build. But maybe mana wuld be a problem... Dunno yet[/quote]

[quote=Trojan995]Here's how I see it: If his clone works well as an escape/disruptor so he can bounce in and out of fights, he can be built similarly to Shaco. However, he doesn't have quite the same ability to really bounce in and out of fights, so we'll assume he has to be a bit more tanky. Here's how I'll build him (solo top most likely, for the extra farm): - early brutalizer, for the damage - warmogs - atmas - trinity force - pure damage after that, maybe a last whisper or other such things.[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]Hmm... I've been pondering and realized WuKong has no steroids. The only thing to count as one is his Stone Skin, but that affects damage-taken not damage-dealt. Every melee-carry or non-tanky melee has some sort of damage-steroid... That probably means he might very well just be a generic Tanky DPS. Jun is disappointed by his own analysis. ._. edit: Well, I looked at Pantheon, and I guess WuKong could just use Crushing Blow and Nimbus Strike the same way Ashe uses Volley as a damage-boost.[/quote]

[quote=Freddy Shopan]I guess it all just depends on his damage output. It would be hard to balance him in any melee-carry or non-tanky melee kinda position, especially with Stone Skin, which would be really weird on anything like that. He'll probably be annoying to play against, but I can't really see him as a game-changer.[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]@Freddy Shopan: Cast Decoy -> sneak closer -> Cast Nimbus Strike (clones make it harder for enemy to tell which one is you) -> Activate Cyclone. Enemy team is thrown in disarray. Your team scores an ace within the next 15 seconds. :P Game changer![/quote]

[quote=Blydden]Solo Top champion I presume. I think I have an idea of what I'm going to do with this Chinese god-superhero. Summoners: [[Ghost]] & [[Exhaust]] (spin to win summoners, indeed) I think the skill order will be R > Q > E > W. Just a hunch. I'd probably go with the items I get on assassins, with some tweaks. 21/0/9 with Armor Pen reds Armor/flat yellows MR/scaling blues Move Speed quints (for his ult) START: [[Doran's Blade]] Boots would be [[Berserker's Greaves]] or [[Boots of Swiftness]], depending on his base movement speed (which will probably be quite high, so the former, being a monkey king and all) unless they are AD or AP heavy in which case [[Ninja Tabi]] or [[Mercury Treads]]. [[Youmuu's Ghostblade]] is obvious, fantastic synergy. I'm tempted to say [[Stark's Fervor]]? It would work very well I think with his ultimate. Then defensive or hybrid situationals like [[Banshee's Veil]], [[Aegis of the Legion]], [[Frozen Heart]], or [[Hexdrinker]]. Basically if my Xin Zhao and Garen builds had a love-child.[/quote]

[quote=Freddy Shopan]woah. For some reason it never occurred to me to stealth in and ult... lol... I was like... idk... wtf? I'm now under the impression that I don't put nearly enough thought into these things. xP I like the idea of ghost on him. Makes his ult cover more ground and his stealth go further.[/quote]

[quote=Sinjustice]Assuming he's mana-based... Solo top. 0/9/21 or 21/0/9 ArP marks Mana Regen/level seals CDR/flat glyphs Movespeed Quints Start - [[Regrowth Pendant]] and a [[Health Potion]] [[Philosopher's Stone]] [[Heart of Gold]] [[Berserker's Greaves]] or [[Mercury's Treads]] [[Sheen]] > [[Phage]] > [[Trinity Force]] [[Brutalizer]] sell [[Philosopher's Stone]] and build [[Atma's Impaler]] Finish [[Youmuu's Ghostblade]] [[Banshee's Veil]] Finsih [[Randuin's Omen]] [[Ghost]] and [[Exhaust]] (Though [[Teleport]] might be useful given the solo top, as well as [[Ignite]] if you want to secure some early game kills) Tanky DPS, as usual. Kind of like Jarmander, but less tank and more damage.[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]Updated with the Riot post info. Clone can't be controlled. Nimbus Strike deals physical damage.[/quote]

[quote=Gunnarownsu]I'm thinking build him like alkali or jax. NO idea though we will see how his abilities scale with ap or ad etc.[/quote]
