WuKong Theorycraft Thread

[quote=Wintermond][quote=Searz] Kinda, but I don't think crit is all that on Wukong. [/quote] ^ Exactly. Wukong has good abilities to be very mobile in a Teamfight and to distort the enemy, making him kind of like Irelia and both only need Triforce(Maybe Wit's End) as damage items to pull some aggro.[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]@Searz: Directly, no, but TriForce, and [[The Brutalizer]] are two very good items for WuKong. [[Infinity Edge]] has the highest raw AD, so it's the best item to scale with his Nimbus Strike like Cyclone. If you're itemized for Crit chance coincidentally, might as well rank masteries to make the champ flow better.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]There are better items to get if you want a little damage.[/quote]

[quote=Atheb]i heard about this bug with youmuus not counting wus attacks as melee is this still going?. brutalizer-> triforce-> ghostblade seams very strong but i corious abot this bug that early brutalizer is pretty nice. combined with 21 offense your early becomes way better.[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]I believe the Ghostblade glitch hasn't been patched yet.[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]@Searz: There is no item that can consistently give more AD then Infinity Edge. What magical item are you referring to? @Atheb: WuKong isn't getting any hotfixes. Next patch~[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Items that give more damage for the money.[/quote]

[quote=Atheb]i guess mostof us agree that tf is pretty nice on him. it takes a while to build especially if you first go for brutalizer. that youmuus after is still nice adn will be even better after glitch fixed. from there on both searz points and juns arguments have their truths. if you need cheap fast dmg i guess there are better items but why not buy a IE if you can afford it?[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]I generally rush Trinity Force so far. Usually the game is decided by then, and I'm finishing Brutalizer and farming for B.F Sword. I build the major AD components first, so that Nimbus Strike gains a ton of impact along with Sheen procs for Crushing Blow. Makes it really easy to farm too when you can hit for 180+ normal damage and both Q and E burst for average over 400 damage. When I do get Infinity Edge finished my combo will deal over 500 damage (after armor) just from initation, and the criticals dealing over 400 damage (after armor) really follow up well with Nimbus Strike's AS steroid and Crushing Blow's attack reset. I tend to buy Ionian Boots unless I feed a little and have a bad start. With so much cooldown reduction,[/quote]

[quote=Wintermond]Okay, I'm gonna bump this thread with a small guideline of my Wukong playstyle. After playing ALOT of Wukong the past month, I feel like I'm good enough on him to share my Build with you. [b]Runes:[/b] [runes=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/rune-page-planner#&rune=300:9-262:9-263:9-299:3] [b]Masteries:[/b] [masteries=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/mastery-tree-planner#&tree1=3-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0&tree2=0-3-0-1-3-4-0-1-0-0-0-0-0-0&tree3=0-3-1-0-4-0-0-3-1-0-3-0-0-0-0] 3/12/15 I play him solo top, and even tho he is considered being a pretty weak laner due to his lack of sustain, I can win my lane most of the time. The main reasons for that are his good harrassment, his Decoy which allows him to avoid a lot of dmg on the lane and escape most ganks, and the high health regeneration. [b]Item Builds:[/b] CORE: [items=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/item-purchase-planner#&item=23-108-82-53-63] I rush Wriggles because it's an awesome lane Item and you are most likely outlaning your enemy as soon as you have this. Tabi against AD, Mercs against AP. Later in the game I switch to Mercs most of the time. Always start your TF with [[Phage]], the slow and HP are golden on tha lane. [b]The post-core Items are all situational:[/b] [[Youmuu's Ghostblade]] is one of the best Items for Wukong because of the damage, steroids and CdR. This Item also has great synergy with Decoy jukes. I get it most of the time, unless I have to go really tanky early. [[Force of Nature]] against magical damage. [[Frozen Heart]] or [[Randuin's Omen]] against physical damage. If you're farming really well, get [[Frozen Mallet]] or [[Warmog's Armor]] and [[Atma's Impaler]]. If you are dominating your lane, get [[The Brutalizer]] after Wriggles. When the enemy has a fed AP early, get [[Hexdrinker]], when you're facing an AP on your lane ditch the Wriggles and get [[Hexdrinker]]. I am very successfull with this Build and playstyle, and I felt like bumping this Thread because Wukong needs more attention, since he can change the tide of a game when he's well farmed. :) I hope you give this a shot, and if you have any questions, ask.[/quote]
