Intro
My Name is Luca and I'm playing League of Legends on EUW for more than one year now. I started with Garen Bot like almost everyone and practiced a lot to get better. When I finally hit level 30 season 3 already ended, so i started playing rankeds in pre-season 4 and got ranked in silver 4.
In season 4 I played some unlucky placement matches and got placed into bronze 4. My big target was to get to gold at one time. I did it and I'm currently Gold V, after failing the promo to Gold IV multiple times. :P
However, I started playing

So let's go!

UNIQUE Passive: Butcher: Damage dealt to monsters increased by 20%. UNIQUE Passive : Incinerate: Dealing physical damage burns the target for 16-50 (based on level) true damage over 3 seconds. UNIQUE Passive – Conservation: Gain a stack of Conservation every 1.5 seconds (maximum 80). Conservation stacks are traded for equal gold upon killing a large monster, up to 40 gold for a kill. Spirit of the Elder Lizard is the best and actually only really viable jungle item currently on ![]() |

Ravenous Hydra 75 Attack Damage, 15 Health Regeneration, 12 Life Steal. Passive: (Melee Only) Damage dealt by this item benefits from life steal. UNIQUE Passive: Cleave: Your attacks deal physical damage up to 60% of your Attack Damage to units around your target, decaying down to 20% near the edge. UNIQUE Active: Crescent: Deals physical damage up to 100% of your Attack Damage to units around you, decaying down to 60% near the edge.

Recommended Spells in Jungle

The probably most popular spell anyways. You really want to have it, since it's your only safe escape and gives you great utility and possiblities to make plays and to engage with it. Be sure to take this 100%

Not much to say to this. You're the Jungler, so you obviously should take smite for faster campclear and above all for securing buffs and objectives.
Do never take this:

It just doesn't suit your kit like flash does, since you lose your only escape and play potential.
Recommended Spells on Lane

The probably most popular spell anyways. You really want to have it, since it's your only safe escape and gives you great utility and possiblities to make plays and to engage with it. Be sure to take this 100% (Just like in Jungle :P)

I'd always take this on midlane and also on top against some champions with high selfheal like Dr.Mundo. It gives you a lot more lane aggression.

You can get faster back on lane. Recommended for toplane except in certain matchups -> ignite

Viable in certain matchups -> Zed for example

I would not recommend any other summoner spells






These two obviously work awesome together as well, since






Not much to explain.



Have you ever been stuck in a Jarvan ult? It's pretty annoying, especially when a crazy monkey can just get into it with




I guess this is the best way to show you guys how to ward. This map simply shows where the main warding spots are and where you should use your sweeping lens and blue trinket. You can use this "warding map" for every role. As jungle and mid i'd recommend to get an early pink and place it in one of the riverbushes and especially as jungler to get a green ward somewhere in the enemy jungle to be able to follow the actions of the enemy jungler.
Credits to "CyberDamnation" for this almost perfect explanation where to ward.

Here you can see that my builds actually work, these are my last 8 games with Wukong without cutting any bad games out, and as you can clearly see i won 6/8 of them, the lose on the bottom actually even was a 4v5 where i almost managed to carry the game with another teammate, but unluckily we lost the 4v5 after even getting close to their nexus.

Thanks for reading my first guide :) No matter if you liked it i'd be really happy if you could give me some feedback, like just vote or even write a short comment. It's really great to get something back after working on a guide like this for some hours.
Also feel free to ask whatever you like, i'll try to answer every questions on tactics and/or the build.
btw: I'm not a native english speaker, so please excuse me if I made some mistakes :)
Furthermore I want to introduce you one of the best Wukong players that I know. He's called Allorim and a Master I Wukong main with nearly 1000 Wukong games this season.The build that i introduced isn't his build though, it's based on my personal experience with Wukong in lower elo.
I will link him below:
