W (Warrior Trickster) creates a clone and makes you invisible for 1s — use it to engage, escape, or dodge a key ability.
R (Cyclone) can be cast twice — the 2nd R knocks up again. Use both phases for continuous CC.
The classic combo is E (Nimbus Strike) → auto → Q (Crushing Blow) → R to maximize damage and CC.
The passive gives bonus resistances per nearby champion — Wukong is tankier when he's in the middle of enemies.

Playing against Wukong
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
His clone is identifiable: if Wukong suddenly stops, it's probably the real one going invisible. The clone doesn't move.
His R can be cast twice: don't Flash the first knockup if the second one is coming right after.
Punish him when his W is on cooldown (20-16s): it's his only protection and mobility in lane.
Champions that outscale in 1v1 beat him because Wukong is a team engage champion, not a duelist.
