Playing as Wukong
Tips to maximize your impact
- Nimbus Strike, then Crushing Blow
Engage with Nimbus Strike (E), then Crushing Blow (Q): the dash gives you attack speed, and Crushing Blow shreds your target's armor before your Cyclone (R).
- Stay in close
Stay in close when you fight: Stone Skin (passive) increases your armor and health regen as long as you're fighting champions or monsters.
- Vanish to escape or dodge
Cast Warrior Trickster (W) to escape or dodge a key spell: you dash and turn invisible for a moment, and your clone stays in place to fool the enemy.
- Recast your Cyclone
Recast Cyclone (R) right after the first: the spell can be cast twice, and each spin knocks nearby enemies into the air again.
Playing against Amumu
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Stay behind your minions
Stay behind your minions: Bandage Toss (Q) stops on the first enemy hit, and it's his only spell to reach you.
- Step up after both bandages
Step up when both charges of Bandage Toss (Q) are gone: he can't reach you again until a charge comes back.
- Spread out from your allies
When he has Curse of the Sad Mummy (R), spread out from your allies in teamfights: the spell stuns every enemy around him.
- Ward the way into your lane
Ward the path between his jungle and your lane: Bandage Toss (Q) brings him onto you from range, and he has two charges to catch you.
