Hello and welcome to my Wukong Guide.
At first let me tell you something about how Wukong and I met. It wasn't love at first sight. When the spotlight released my first thought was "Oh my god - What a moron". But then I watched it again and again and I fell in love with Wukong. I'm so glad that he came out.
Or: "Wukong: If you upvote, I'll suck your banana".

Description
In the Plague Jungles, Kong ruled as king. He could wield a unique, natural form of magic and he was driven by zealous ambition. The Plague Jungles were the ideal setting for fostering his growth - he thrived on challenges and flourished in adversity. However, when he had surmounted every obstacle and defeated every opponent, he grew restless. Worried that there was nothing left to overcome, he sought counsel with the monkey sage who lived behind the Grand Waterfall. The sage told him a tale of hairless monkeys to the north who, with wits and strength, bent the world to their will. Kong was overjoyed at the prospect of such worthy competition, and he immediately set out to the north, hoping that the sage's story was true.
Traveling north, he crossed the Southern Wastes and then the Great Barrier. Unaware of the League, he arrived outside the Institute of War where he found Master Yi in meditation. Kong was eager to test the strength of these northern warriors, so he challenged Yi to a duel. Intrigued by Kong, Yi decided to humor him. Within moments of his first strike, Kong knew he was no match for Yi. To be the best, he would need a mentor. He asked Yi to take him as a pupil and to show him the wonders of the northern lands. In return, he would honor Yi by becoming the greatest warrior Runeterra had ever seen. Admiring his passion, Yi agreed, but only under the condition that Kong would one day teach the lessons of Wuju to a pupil of his own. In the spirit of this agreement, he renamed Kong ''Wukong'', and gave him a weapon suited to his unusual nature - an enchanted staff that the young Doran had crafted. The weapon was an unrivalled masterpiece. After rigorous training, Wukong joined the League of Legends to fulfill his promise and show the world the true power of Wuju.
''The first step to wisdom and greatness is realizing how little you know.''
- The first lesson of Master Yi
Skills
Crushing Blow (Q-Skill)
Wukong swings his mighty staff with incredible speed, crushing his opponent. This attack deals additional physical damage and reduces the enemy's Armor for a short duration.
This one is awesome! The mana costs are very low and it deals more damage. I don't think I'll have to explain the use of this Skill
Decoy (W-Skill)
Wukong utilizes his cleverness to trick his foes. He becomes stealthed for 1.5 seconds and leaves an uncontrollable decoy behind that will deal Magic Damage to enemies near it after 1.5 seconds.
Your best friend if you like harassing your enemy. Jump in usingNimbus Strike and get away with this little thing. Also it gives u some nice surviving abilitys. If you get caught alone, use it to reach a bush for example.
Nimbus Strike(R-Skill)
Wukong dashes on a cloud toward a target enemy and sends out images to attack up to 2 additional enemies near his target, dealing physical damage to each enemy struck.
This is good to harass your opponent. Also it's helpfull if you have to fight against many minions or if you're in a teamfight.
Cyclone(R-Skill)
Wukong's staff grows outward and he spins it around, dealing damage and knocking up enemies. Wukong gains movement speed over the duration of the spell.
This Ultimate gives you some usages.
If someone tries to kill to using the towerdive technique, activate it. It'll knock him up in the air while the turret is shoting at him.
Or you're able to get away due you're moving faster. But I don't recommend wasting your Ultimate on getting away. UseWarrior Trickster. Another nice use: It's good for teamfights because it damages everyone around you.
But I think your

Also Attack Speed gives a big advantage. It makes farming alot easier. Attack Damage is very usefull too because dealing much damage in early game (especially against squishy champions) is just good.
Runes I prefer on

So you could get



Or you could chose




I say again: You can combine them as your wish.


Note: Yellow Summoner spells aren't bad to use.

Alternative:
This one gives you the ability to deal much damage at level one. I would recommend this alternative if you're playing against squishy champions like








If you want to know why, here's the answer:
Situational Items!
So if you're playing against a team out of tanks take

If you think you're dieing too much, why don't you take

Do you want to get more life and slow the enemy just by hitting them?

If there are Mages, get


Do you want some attack damage and some attack speed?



Also you're able to harass your enemys. How? Read in the Chapter below.
If you're getting followed by some enemys, try to get away using

After using this "trick" very often you maybe notice that your enemys are ignoring your double.
So why dont you let them think you're the double? Just press (S) to stop. It looks exactly like you're using


But remember that this trick is very risky. Because some guys randomly attack your double. Which is good and bad for you.
If you're playing against Mages (like




Insider Tip:
Your



At first your advantages.
Harrasing your enemys means attacking them over and over without getting them any (or just some) hits on you. This makes sure that they're getting nerved after some time. Think back to Teemos mushrooms. We all love them right? (No!)
And nerved enemys are good enemys. Because they will flame each other and so on.
But there is a big disadvantage as well.
You need lots of mana in order to use your skills all the time (and thats what you have to do).
So how do you do it?
Jump into your enemy using


Just do this over and over and you can be sure that your enemy uses all his

If you want to harass it's important that you are maxing your

Try this:
... play Wukong AP?
Many of my friends thought (or still think) that it is an good idea to use AP items for

The first and main negative point is that only one ability ( Decay) uses ability power. The others stack up with attack damage. Also I think it's an bad idea. Even if

Also I think Wukong needs a good lane partner. Otherwise he's not able to deal this much damage.
My favourites are

The best explanaition why not to go into the jungle with

WuKong has no sustain, low armor-values, a passive that is non-existent in the jungle, and absolutely no way to boost his damage hard to enough to make up for the prior two faults.
It's like playing jungle

There are two different types of wards.
Sight Ward
So this is the cheaper version. It's helpful to see ifthe enemy team is arranging a gank or simply to spot out important places like Baron Nashor, the Dragon or different buffs.

Badass invisible unit counter (

Also I like them more than

Screenshot explanation:
- The description of each Screenshot us under the screenshot itself.
- Arrows show the way you can see the enemy's walking.
- Circles are highlighting the Ward itself.
- Circles are showing the radius you're able to see invisible guys.
This Sight Ward covers your bottom or top lane (picture: bottom lane). You're able to avoid getting ganked without knowing it (normally this makes sure that you'll get away).
This Sight Ward covers the Mana Buff. Also it avoid getting ganked and you're able to see if someone is stealing your Buff. And you can kill him!
This Sight Ward avoids ganks from nearly all directions (top lane).
This Sight Ward covers the Lizard Buff. Also you're able to see if someone is getting the Buff.
This Sight Ward avoids getting ganked on mid lane. You're able to set another one on the opposing bush.
This Sight Ward avoids getting ganked on bot lane. Helpful if you want to blink back with low life and someone trys to tower dive you.
This Sight Ward covers the whole area around the Baron (and the Baron itself).
ThisVision Ward makes stealth skills useless (top lane).
ThisVision Ward makes stealth skills useless (mid lane).
