About Me & WukongHey my Wukong brothers, let me help you reaching your desire Elo! Im currently Dia 1 and my peak was 4x Master. I played the Ape since he came out and mained him directly. I got around 2 Million Championpoints with all accounts on Wukong and i played him in High Elo in every single season. Im currently #10 Wukong World you can find me on http://www.lolskill.net/summoner/EUW/twtvdoctorwukong and im streaming regular on https://www.twitch.tv/doctorwukong You will learn after this Guide how to play Wukong, how to snowball, how to survive and play the laningphase, what to do after laningphase and how to reach your desired elo.

Why would you play WukongSo the first question is why would you want to play Wukong ? I got the answer for that! Playing Wukong means playing a champion that has huge winconditions in teamfights, you can change the whole teamfight, even if you are behind. The key is your Gamechanging skillkit > your R > your oneshot comb > killing carries is your main prioratiy. You always aim squishy targets.Hint: Keep in Mind Wukong is an high dps assasin/bruiser not a tank! You will be mid game or late game tanky but it depens on your item pathing and your priority ingame, it always change so be flexible!

Pros + One of the Strongest AD scalings + Gamechanging Teamfights + Can one shot squishy targets + Midgame beast + Huge snowball with 1 kill + Your Cyclone goes through even when you are cc'd + Your Crushing Blow has synergy with all on hit items + its a freaking ape Wukong is an ad assasin/bruiser that is able to one shot all squishy targets if you play him currectly. He can sneak with his Warrior Trickster even make huge outplays with it. He has a good gapcloser with Nimbus Strike and togehter with his gamechanging Cyclone he is able to change the hole teamfight for his advantage. He is a Midlane beast and can nearly kill all of his squishy opponent midlane. He got one of the strongest AD scalings thats why you should play him as ad assasin, but if the situation change and your team needs a tank you also can build him offtank, because Stone Skin gives you free tankyness.

Cons - Poor early top Laningphase - got only his Cyclone as cc - Nimbus Strike can be canceled from every knockback/up - no sustain - Ninja Tabi counters you hard - Control Ward can counter your engages As per all champions, Wukong has his strengths, and his weaknesses. Compared to other Toplaner the matchup can be realy hard and he has no CC until he hits level 6. He don't has sustain so Corrupting Potion is a realy good starting item for Wukong because it compensated the weaknesses of Wukong's early game. If you flash in and aren't fast enough with your combo enemey's will just flash out and survive. So always play calm and smart with Wukong and wait for a good moment to engage don't hesitated but also don't rush dumb in. You can be the engage and you also can disengage.

Crushing Blow resets Wukong's autoattack timer. Try the combo A>Q>E>AA to outdamage your opponent. You outrange nearly every meele champion with your Crushing Blow, you can use it for poking or last hitting. Keep in mind its an empowered autoattack so it has synergy with Duskblade of Draktharr an another on hit items like Stormrazor. It also follows if the enemy flashes to late.

Wukong becomes Invisible for 1.5 seconds, leaving behind a decoy that will deal 70/115/160/205/250 (+60% Ability Power) Magic Damage to enemies near it after 1.5 seconds. Stealth - Invisible: Wukong can only be revealed by nearby enemy Turrets or True Sight. Keep in mind your Warrior Trickster can save you from Caitlyn Ace in the Hole from Urgot Fear Beyond Death. So you can litarly use it for Decoing Target spells. You can confuse your enemeys with pressing S so they think you used your Warrior Trickster but you didn't, just walk away and use your Warrior Trickster straigt after you confuse your enemy. Because you are getting invisible your item Duskblade of Draktharr proc's so you can use it for engaging or while fighting to proc it twice. A trick in teamfights for example is to press S so the enemy gets confused and think you used W. After that just use it in the right moment and kill them all !

You also can use your Nimbus Strike as capcloser on laningphase to hit Minions with it and after then use the Crushing Blow's range to hit the enemey. Nimbus Strike also gives you early 30 % attackspeed and it scales with leveling it up, so you always Max it! Try the Combo A>Q>E>AA and then E>A>Q>R to finish him!

Beside Cyclone has one of the storngest AD-Scaling(+110% AD) It gives you Movement speed that works great with Youmuu's Ghostblade. You can cancel your Cyclone in 1vs1 for example you engage with E>Q>R then you cancel your Cyclone and straigh after that do E>A>Q so the enemy just get deleted. If you are able to hit a good Cyclone in a team fight on the squishy carry targets, they explode and you one shot them instantly and change the whole teamfight for your advantage. Keep in Mind you are an assasin so play like one! Confuse your enemys with Warrior Trickster or Pressing S, sneak around them, do flanks and kill the squishy targets!

SUMMONER SPELLS - FLASH: Flash is a must have on Wukong. You need it for your engages later in teamfighting and it helps you out to get closer to your squishy targets. So always take Flash as first summoner with you. IGNITE: You can take ignite as second summoner specialy for hard snowballing or killing the enemy, but i recomment to take Teleport instant specialy top. But in case you play mid in Bronz-Low Diamond Ignite is okay and usefull. TELEPORT: Teleport is my favorite second summoner spell. It gives you great map controll specialy if you want to help your team out. It also gives you huge wave controll and if play it right you actulay don't need Ignite for killing your opponent.If you are a new Wukong just go Ignite instat of Teleport but if you collect some expirience and you feel confortable always go Teleport and solo carry your games with it!

Domination ✦ Domination The Domination Rune Path is one of five rune paths. It is centered around burst damage, and general utility. It is the best masterie tree for Wukong, because of the burst from Electrocute and your bruiser skill kit, play around your cooldown from Electrocute.

Applying 3 stacks to a target within a 3 second period causes them to be struck by lightning, dealing them 50 - 220 (based on level) (+ 50% bonus AD) (+ 30% AP) Attack damageAbility power Adaptive damage.

SUDDEN IMPACT ✦ Sudden Impact PASSIVE: Going in combat by affecting an enemy champion within 3 seconds of using a dash, blink or Teleport, or exiting from camouflage, grants 10 Lethality and 8 Magic Penetration for the next 5 seconds.

Resolve Resolve: The Resolve Rune Path is one of five rune paths. It is centered around resistances, health, and healing.. It gives + 9 Attack SPeed and + 15-135 Heatl based on level in combination with Domination Bone Plating Bone Plating: PASSIVE: After taking damage from an enemy champion, for 3 seconds, the next 3 spells or attacks you receive from the same enemy champion deal 15 - 40 (based on level) less damage. It has nearly the same cooldown like Electrocute so it has a huge synergy use it togehter for trading and poking!

At 4 Damage rating takedowns, if not in combat with champions, convert that health to gain 9 bonus Attack Damage or 15 Ability Power.It gives you free tankyness early and it transform into free damage after 4 takedowns. So its rly good for Wukong

Second Wind

Second Wind:PASSIVE: After taking damage from an enemy champion, gain health regeneration equal to 6 (+ 4% of your missing health) over 10 seconds.It can help alot vs hardpoke like Quinn or Teemo or other champs that are just annoying with there poke. Combined with Doran's Shield Second Wind is rly usefull and helps to survive the laningphase.

-OR-

Ninja Tabi > Armor Its one of the best choices vs hard ad comps or teams that has moderate cc. Always go for tabis if the enemy team don't have heavy cc. Mercury's Treads > TENACITY Its one of the best choices, you can't do anything wrong if you go Mercury's Treads Its great vs heavy cc comps and help alot in teamfighting.

Duskblade of Draktharr Duskblade of Draktharr: The best choice for Wukong every single effect from it gives you huge advantage its your spike item. It has synergy with your Crushing Blow and you can proc Duskblade of Draktharr twice with your Warrior Trickster in combat. Wukong is able to one shot squishy targets. It even adds a slow for your Crushing Blow, go for it as soon as possible and enjoy the free damage spike! Youmuus Youmuu's Ghostblade: Youmuu's Ghostblade has great synergy with your Cyclone because you can activate and combo both movement buffs. Its also a good helping engaging tool because of its out of combat passiv and the movementspeed active buff. It gives you great armor penetration and its a huge damage buff. If you combine it with Duskblade of Draktharr and rush both of them, you are able to one shot squishy's in 1 second and just R out. Sterak's Gage Sterak's Gage: UNIQUE – GIANT STRENGTH: Gain 50% of base attack damage as bonus attack damage. That means if you rush Duskblade of Draktharr and Youmuu's Ghostblade it even gives you more bonus attack damage. It gives you even free tankyness. It helps you to survive your hardengage. The shield has a huge synergy. This item is a must have as third item!

Black Cleaver Black Cleaver: Has huge synergy with your movement buffs. It is great if your team is heavily ad. It helps to shred armor from the enemy and has a good synergy with R. Every single stat is pretty good so it always depends in which situation you build it. Rush this item if you play top vs a heavy tank or rush it if your team realy needs a tank. Ravenous Hydra Ravenous Hydra: Its a realy great item specialy Tiamat. Complet Ravenous Hydra as last item just keep tiamat. It has huge synergy with your combo Nimbus Strike>A> Crushing Blow> Tiamat> Cyclone. You always build Tiamat if you are behind, you collect much more minions with it and it gives Wukong the wave clear that he needs and dosn't have. Stormrazor Stormrazor: Well you can build Stormrazor as fun item, it has synergy with duskblade of drakthrr and your Q but in my opinion its a overkill and to expensive. Just build it if you are super fed and want to snowball even harder. You don't need to R in this combo just E>Q thats it. You can proc it twice if you use E>Q>W and just wait and then proc Stormrazor again your Warrior Trickster is the key here.

Play aggressivly, it depends on the matchup how you play correctly just scroll up, i discribed how to play vs each enemy.
Always ward your bushes. You can use them to do your engages and just kill the enemy with it, sneak out of the bush with your W the enemy will not recognize it and just kill him with the full combo E>A>Q>R.

Farming is the most underrated and most important key for your mid and lategame. Always keep in mind 18 farm means 1 Kill, so focus in farming. Nimbus Strike helps you farming minions and if you can't reach them Crushing Blow helps you too. If you want a rly easy and good farm rush Tiamat.

So trading is one of the important things for Wukong. Always play around your Electrocute and your Resolve masteries. Do short trades. Be a bruising Monkey and poke your enemy down until you can all in them with a killing blow.

Toplane matchup is pretty hard you play differently toplane than midlane. See on the top topic how to play the matchups

Farming is hard. Try to learn farming under tower, because most of the matchup just push you to the tower. Don't underestimate your opponent. If the enemy goes for the last hit, trade him in that window or farm instead. Always play safe top, ward your bushes, think and guess where the enemy jungler is. If you are getting ganked Warrior Trickster helps you to juke. Sometimes you need to press only S so you can confuse your enemey's and press Warrior Trickster straight after it.
Trading is hard for Wukong toplane. Just focus on farming, trade if the enemy uses skills for farming. Always play around your Electrocute and your Resolve masteries. Do short trades. You don't need to kill your opponent toplane, just punish him if he does mistakes. If he pushes you all day, wait for your jungler to help you out, you can snowball pretty hard after 1 kill. Always keep in mind that you just need to have good farm to carry the mid/lategame.
