Playing as Wukong

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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).

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 Darius

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Short trades

    Take a short trade, then back off: each of his hits applies a Hemorrhage (passive) stack, and at five stacks he gains a massive AD bonus.

  2. Leave his blade or hug him

    Step out of range or stick to him when he casts Decimate (Q): only the blade, at the edge, heals him and applies Hemorrhage (passive).

  3. Boots early

    Buy your boots early: before he hits level 6, Apprehend (E) is his only spell to get back on you, on a 26 to 16 second cooldown.

  4. Respect his level 6

    Once he hits level 6, don't let him put five Hemorrhage (passive) stacks on you: Noxian Guillotine (R) gains true damage with each stack.
