Darius
This is one of the hardest, when not the hardest matchup for Wukong. You are really in a bad spot against him. Against Darius is always go an early vampiric and then Randuins/Sunfire and Gauntlets.
This is the standart runepage setup for toplane, but u can also get Flat Armor Yellows if you want to be stronger early or if youre having a hard time jungling. For the cheesy Full Lethality build I also run a Runepage with 9 Lethality Marks and 3 Lethality Quints. It actually works out.
-He can snowball his entire team
-He can carry/turnaround a teamfight
-Huge juke/outplay potential ( Warrior Trickster)
-He's quite a strong duelist
-Decent burst
-Overwhelming AD-Ratios
-Hard early game
-Somewhat itemdependent
-Gets bullied hard by tanky high dmamage dealers like Renekton or Darius
Your early purchases should mainly focus on AD because you really need to get the snowball rolling otherwise you wont be that usefull to your team. After 1 or 2 Damage-Items (depending on the Teams) you should start getting a bit durability or youll just blow up in teamfights.
At level 2 I take Crushing Blow, so I can trade even better because now I have a gap-closer, a AS Buff and a AA Reset. Then I pickup that 1 point for Warrior Trickster. At this point u can already make nice play. I max Nimbus Strike just because the points scale better in it, than in Crushing Blow. I max Warrior Trickster last, because it only gets a little higher amount of damage and not so much CD-Reduction.
NOTE IF JUNGLE: Take Nimbus Strike first and Warrior Trickster second. Reason is that the distraction from Warrior Trickster is more usefull than a AA-Reset in the jungle. It is really important to stay healthy early.
My engage combo is Nimbus Strike >> AA >> Crushing Blow >> AA... >> Crushing Blow >> Cyclone.
You need to have in mind that Crushing Blow resets your AA-Timer and reduces the armor, so I first make my harass combo but then I keep fighting until my Crushing Blow is up again so I can reduce his armor to totally destroy him with my Cyclone.
Wukong makes the most damage with AA >> Crushing Blow >> Nimbus Strike so I take this combo when I'm sure I won't die ASAP.
Only use Warrior Trickster if you REALLY NEED TO because when Warrior Trickster isn't up the toplaner will probably call his jungler to gank you AFAP and then you got no chance to escape.
The "hidden power" of the Warrior Trickster is to simply press "S" when you feel like. The enemy will think you used Warrior Trickster but in fact u ust stand there. Use this technique if you dont wan't to waste Warrior Trickster, you got no mana or it's ust on CD. But please be adviced: this won't work when the "2 Eyes" are over your head or the is something else of true sight.
His passive Stone Skin is a pretty much underrated skill. It provides you some nice amount of defensive stats so even in the early game you are not that squishy. And woooow in endgame when 5 enemies surround you it gives 50 armor and MR. It's just strong if you ask me. It allows to fully engage into 5people without being afraid of dieing.
Ghost instead Flash is only OK if you prefere to play like this.
You can swap Teleport for Ignite if you really feel cocky and you think you can stomp on the enemy laner.
Jungle is Smite for Teleport obviously.
Especially Orianna can make HUGE plays with his Warrior Trickster and Cyclone. ust give him the ball while he gets invisible and he uses Nimbus Strike right in the enemies so Orianna can easily perform a destroying Command: Shockwave followed by Cyclone == Won Teamfight.
He also synergizes well with Jarvan IV, Galio, Amumu and actually everybody who has a strong AOE ult.
