WuKong Theorycraft Thread

[quote=SinDelta]I'm thinking I'll rush a [icon=Garen size=25]Spin to win, to maximize his Ults damage.[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]Spotlight is out. [[Sheen]] and [[Trinity Force]] look really good. Though, his AD-ratios still need to be seen. He may be very good as a pure AD champ like [[Vayne]] too.[/quote]

[quote=ShenMasterFlash]I'm actually very interested in this discussion. Wukong looks like a champ I will actually enjoy playing, with his passive, gap closer, and stealth allowing him to get into and out of a fight quickly. I guess starting out I will probably go doran's blade, merc treads, triforce, and atmogs. Maybe try to fit an early brutalizer > ghostblade in there as well. Rest of items will either be DPS or more tank. Guess we'll have to wait til tonight to really find out.[/quote]

[quote=Yurka]I have been playing a few games and I like the sheen+brutalizer early game. Mid to late game I go for Trinity force and Bloodthirster I have yet to decide what defensive items to keep though[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]He seems like a tanky DPS build or PURE DPS build. All in all I'm excited about him. Id suggest Philo Stone start. Rush sheen and Phage. Snag brutalizer and boots, finish tri force. Get atmas and finish with sunfire or Banshee's veil.[/quote]

[quote=Queso]http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=12033306#post12033306 [quote] [Q] Wukong's Crushing Blow 40 Mana 9/8/7/6/5 sec Cooldown Wukong's next attack deals 30/60/90/120/150 bonus physical damage and reduces the enemy's Armor by 30% for 3 seconds. [W] Wukong's Decoy 50/55/60/65/70 Mana 18/16/14/12/10 sec Cooldown Wukong becomes stealthed for 1.5 seconds. An uncontrollable decoy is left behind that will deal 70/115/160/205/250 (+0.6 x AP) magic damage to enemies near it after 1.5 seconds. [E] Wukong's Nimbus Strike 45/50/55/60/65 Mana 8 sec Cooldown 650 range Wukong dashes toward a target enemy and sends out images to attack up to 2 additional enemies near his target dealing 60/105/150/195/240 (+0.8 x bonus damage) physical damage to each enemy struck. Upon hitting his target Wukong gains 20/25/30/35/40% Attack Speed for 3 seconds. [R] Wukong's Cyclone 100 Mana 120/105/90 sec Cooldown Wukong's staff grows outward and he spins it around dealing 20/110/200 (+1.0 x total damage) physical damage per second and knocking up enemies he encounters. Wukong gains speed (+5% MS) over the duration of the spell. Lasts 4 seconds. [/quote][/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]That's a nice steroid he's got on Nimbus Strike. Crushing Blow is sweet too. 30% armor is A LOT! I'd definitely want to get [[The Black Cleaver]] on him. Against someone with 100 armor, you're end up removing over 60 armor within 3 strikes, and be dealing a amazing damage.[/quote]

[quote=Tesche]This is all still just theory cause, though I have purchased him, I've yet to play as him. A lot of champs have been mentioned here, but his closest "cousin" feels like Irelia to me. HP Tanky DPS build intrigues me Trinity Frozen Mallet Warmogs Atma's Quicksilver Boots are an intriguing item for him. Mercs or Tabi seem natural choices depending on the strengths of your opposing team, but increasing his closing speed with Swiftness might also be nice. Additionally, using Mobility to move around the map as quick as possible (if playing the assassin role) could be very nice. I'm definitely going to have to do some mixing and matching. Hexdrinker was mentioned by someone previously, and I do think it could have it's place in a Wukong build as well... HP Tanky DPS was the first thing that sprang to my mind, I know it lacks armor pen other than runes and his Q, so that could prove a debilitating issue with the build. No harm in the trying though.[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]Just tried him in-game. (Got restless and splurged my IP </3) WuKong is VERY underwhelming late-game. Stone Skin: 4~6 armor/mr per enemy. Weak. Crushing Blow's armor-shred only works on base-armor AND there's no AD scaling. Not strong at all. Cyclone's damage doesn't make it worth using for the full-duration. It can't match auto-attacking + ability casts, so it's best to cancel it after all enemies have been proc'd with knock-up's. His early/mid game is very fun, but once the enemies have minimal armor and health, his damage takes a huge dip. Combat becomes tedious and weak. Hoping for AD-scaling added to Q, and minor buffs to Cyclone/Stone-Skin next patch. FYI: I'm referring to fighting bots in Coop VS AI. It got weak and tedious to fight BOTS... Most successful build so far. Start: [icon=Boots of Speed size=22][icon=Health Potion size=22] x3 Early game: [icon=Vampiric Scepter size=22][icon=Sheen size=22][icon=Berserker's Greaves size=22] Mid game: [icon=The Black Cleaver size=22][icon=Trinity Force size=22][icon=The Bloodthirster size=22] Late game:[icon=Force of Nature size=22] / [icon=Banshee's Veil size=22] + [icon=Madred's Bloodrazor size=22] Got the Madred's to scale with enemy health, because his damage just felt bad at that point.[/quote]
