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 Bel'Veth
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Back off from her true form
Back off when she takes her true form with Endless Banquet (R): she gains health, range and attack speed, and with enough stacks, the form lasts until she dies.
- Dodge her tail slam
Dodge Above and Below (W): if it hits you, you take a knock-up and her Void Surge (Q) in your direction is refreshed instantly.
- Don't be the lowest on health
If you're the lowest-health enemy near her, get out of Royal Maelstrom (E) range: every slash targets you, and she gains lifesteal and damage reduction.
- Deny her camps and kills
Deny her large monsters and kills: Death in Lavender (passive) gives her permanent attack speed for each one.
