How to Play Wukong

Champion-specific pre-match tips

Lane Phase

Reset your basic attacks with Q to maximize burst damage when the enemy steps forward to last hit.

Lane Phase

Cast W to instantly drop minion aggro and dodge retaliation damage immediately after committing to an E-auto-Q trade.

Lane Phase

Extend early skirmishes until your passive armor and regeneration fully stack from continuous combat to heavily swing the health trade in your favor.

Mid Game

Flank skirmishes by casting W from the fog of war or over terrain to walk into engage range, saving E to follow enemy flashes.

Mid Game

Cancel your first R cast with Q or E as soon as the priority targets are knocked up, allowing you to burst and reposition before triggering your second R.

Mid Game

Push side waves past the river before grouping for neutral objectives, holding W solely to guarantee your escape if enemies collapse on your split.

Late Game

Cast W close to the enemy formation before pressing R to duplicate your knockup radius and disrupt both the frontline and the backline simultaneously.

Late Game

Strike your primary dive target with Q before activating R to apply the armor reduction, heavily amplifying the physical damage of both your ultimate and your clone.

Late Game

Delay your teamfight engage from the fog of war until the enemy backline uses their primary mobility spells or defensive flashes.
