Introduction

- Hey guys and welcome to my Wukong guide!
First thing's first. Who is Wukong, and why would you play him? - Wukong is a Fighter Champion that works extremely well as a tank, bruiser, and an assassin. With so many options to play, he can fill almost any role in your team. His ultimate just destroys teamfights, and he can escape the most sticky situation through the use of tricks, jukes, and dashes.
- So what will be in the guide? This guide will mainly focus on Mid lane Wukong, but covers him going top as well. So if you are looking for an awesome champion all around then Wukong is for you! So let's get started. Below is just an example of what Wukong's play style can do.
If you still need convincing of what Wukong can do, this should change your mind.

Pros+ Has many different roles he can fill. + Can escape most situations + Extremely fun to play + Counters most other mid matchups + Destroys towers quickly + Farms well with ![]() + If timed right, ![]() ![]() ![]() + ![]() |
Cons- Prone to vision wards and oracle's to counter his ![]() - Can be hard to play - Countered easily if picked early in the draft pick - Very item dependant - Squishy early on - ![]() |

Farming as
Wukong is fast and you will need to do it a lot to get items and maintain being a threat to the enemy team.
Nimbus Strike is great for farming, and harassing all the same. So if you are focused more on killing your enemy rather than farming, than focus
Crushing Blow. If you focus on farming, and harassing max
Nimbus Strike.
Many people make a few mistakes when farming. During laning you want to freeze the lane as much as you can. Do this by waiting until the enemy minion is extremely low, then last hitting. I know some of you do not need to be told how to last hit, but you would be surprised.
Never compare your farm to the enemies. Just try and stay with them in cs. If you find yourself behind, do not pressure yourself. Just farm. You do not need to add pressure to yourself over minions. Do not set a goal for a certain time. In a few champion spotlights, Phreak gives a goal of, for example, 120 cs by 12 minutes. This is far unrealistic on one case, and the other is you will start panicking and be sloppy about your last hits if you are setting goals like this.

During teamfights,
Wukong excels at his finest. Wait for your tank ( if it is not you ) to initiate, then go in and ulti as many as possible. You now have 2 options, stay on the enemy that is killing your carry, or go to their carry.
Champions that
Wukong does very well with in teamfights.

Jarvan IV : Along with
Cataclysm, he can trap enemies in and
Cyclone just messes people up!
Hecarim: His ulti can fear everyone if used correctly. They cannot stop you from jumping the carry while feared.
Nami: One of the best supports, her ulti can knock everyone up. Then you knock everyone up. Awesome combo.
Malphite His ulti along with
Cyclone can knock everyone up... TWICE! Along with that he is tanky for days!
Zac: Has an awesome ulti that knocks everyone back, he is awesome for ganks and can chase anyone down. Never go wrong with that.
Leona: 3 stuns, one of them being AoE. Her and
Wukong are a scary teamfight combo.
Orianna: Her damage is ridiculous and her ulti synergises with yours better than ANYONE elses does. She bring all the enemies in the area into a small group, and your ulti will hit them all, guaranteed. If you have the chance at getting her on your team do it.
