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 Kha'Zix
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Stay near an ally
Stay near an ally: alone, Unseen Threat (passive) marks you as isolated, and Taste Their Fear (Q) hits you much harder.
- Fight back if his leap misses
If he leaps in without a kill, fight back: Leap (E) has a 20 to 12 second cooldown, which a takedown only resets once the spell is evolved.
- Ward his paths
Ward his paths: out of sight, Unseen Threat (passive) empowers his next auto against a champion, which damages and slows.
