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 Jayce

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Watch for the orb behind his gate

    When he places Acceleration Gate (E), expect Shock Blast (Q) through it: the orb gains speed, range and damage.

  2. Back off when he goes hammer

    If you have range, back off when he switches to hammer: Mercury Hammer (R) makes him tankier, and he can't go back to cannon for 6 seconds.

  3. Engage after his Thundering Blow

    Engage after Thundering Blow (E): it's his only knockback, and it has a 20 to 10 second cooldown.

  4. Drag the game out

    If you survive the laning phase, play for time: Jayce is strongest early, when his cannon range dominates the lane.
