Mouse-over any items or abilities to see their tooltip.

What and Why

is a swift, melee dps fighter that can get in and out of fights with great AoE damage, single target burst, and deception. He is a great asset to a team. I like to build Wukong like a bulky dps champion with my main core being . You need to build tanky dps because and Nimbus Strike require you to be right in the middle of the fight and you need the survivability. Do not build full DPS Wukong, ever, unless against bots, his kit really forces him to be right in the mash of fights and his passive doesn't make up for this completely. Even though it is 32 armor/magic resist in team fights, your will die the second you cast cyclone if you build dps. is all you need to do insane damage, much like with . The rest of your build has to be tanky depending on enemy team.

Masteries

Runes

Greater Mark of DesolationGreater Mark of Desolation
These are easily the best marks for the armor penetration goes great with your and you will be doing practically true damage early on.

Greater Seal of Resilience
These are needed early game for when you solo, it gives you great defense against harass and goes well with your .

Greater Glyph of Warding
These are for the same reason as the seals, however you can swap them for per level for the late game bonus instead.

Greater Quintessence of Swiftness
These are great for early game lane control and chasing, it makes boots not needed early on, and you can focus on getting the gold items.

Summoner Spells

Flash
Flash is needed to escape with and engage with your , it is the best summoner spell in the game, you should always use it.

Ignite
This is needed for early game kills in solo top. With this and your , no one shall escape your damage or heal through it.

Skilling Sequence

E > Q > Q > W > E > R > E > E > E > Q > R > Q > Q > W > W > R > W > W

I get first for early harass and last hitting. Then I get 2 points in to give it good damage and be the same cooldown as so you can multi harass. Then I grab once at 4 and leave it because it doesn't gain much benefits. After this I max first followed by and . Of course getting ultimate whenever possible.

Starting Items

Regrowth Pendant
This is the optimal item for solo top, it gives you great sustain in lane so you can last hit and harass without having to go back.

Health Potion
Take this potion because you will have gold left over and it is the best choice, it can get you from 100 health to full over it's duration with your

Why Gold Items?

Philosopher's Stone
Philosopher's Stone

Heart of Gold
The reason we get gold items is because overall they are amazing items, they help you get the money for your main core item while giving great cheap stats that help you stay in lane. They also build into 2 awesome items that have spectacular synergy with your . I get these 2 gold items on all of my tanky dps champions. They just offer so much, for such little price.

Core

Trinity Force
is just perfect for the effect goes great with your and it also provides every other stat you could need, crit, attack speed, health, mana, movespeed, and a chance to slow enemies. With your gold items you will have no problem getting this.

Mercury's Treads
These are essential boots on they help you stay in fights and cause ruckus, you can be easily stunned while using so you need these to back you up.

Items After Core

Force of Nature
In my opinion this is the best possible item to get after the extra speed will help out your it has amazing health regen and the highest magic resist in the game. Once you get this casters won't do ish to you, and you will have well over 400 base movespeed.

Randuin's Omen
This item just works SO well with it builds straight from , it gives the armor that you are lacking, cooldown reduction, and an active that slows and reduces attack speeds of enemies. I can't emphasize enough how good this goes with . AoE slows and knock up's for everyone!

Shurelya's Reverie
This is another amazing item to get on , it builds straight from Philosopher's Stone for only 1400 gold and gives you more health, CDR, and regen. Also the active on this can really help you get into fights with your and just cause chaos. The speed boosts helps initiate when you don't have flash up. Also you can and pop this for guaranteed escape.

Atma's Impaler
The game probably won't last this long but get this item last to finally take advantage of your large health bar and give you the damage you might need. Also it gives armor and crit to go with your .

Laning Phase

is a very strong laner when played correctly. The optimal choice for is to solo top preferably 1v1. In a duo-lane he dies quickly in 1v2 and it is harder to farm. If you are against a squishy mage or bad early game carry, you can play very aggressive once you get level 2 and , you can easily close the gap, and whack them with your auto-attack. Once you hit level 4 and you are confident with mana, you can , , and to harass with no harm. Do most of your last hitting with auto-attacks and , if a lane gets too pushed, use Nimbus Strike to clear them quickely. Your regrowth pendant should keep you in lane long enough to go back to base for a , Philosopher's Stone and possibly boots. If you have movespeed quints I wouldn't worry so much about boots right away, however if you take armor penetration, then try to get boots as soon as possible after at least one gold item. Once you hit level 6 you can easily kill your opponent with your full combo and plus . Remember, if someone ganks you just and . Also if you do happen to be in a 1v2, don't worry because your negate most of their harass and make them unable to tower dive you.

Team Fights

In team fights, charge in at a squishy with , then them. After this hit and go to town with your ultimate. If you have or then remember to use them too. Teamfights should normally go in your favor because your ultimate is pretty much amazing. Sometimes you can just use your ult for the knockups then cancel and go for the squishies. It really helps if you have an or on your team for super destruction.
