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 Nocturne

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Break his tether

    Move away as soon as Unspeakable Horror (E) tethers you to him: if you get out of range before the tether ends, you aren't feared.

  2. Pop his barrier first

    If you have CC, cast a cheap spell first: Shroud of Darkness (W) only blocks one ability, for 1.5 seconds.

  3. Move closer to your allies

    When Paranoia (R) darkens your vision, move closer to your allies: you can't see them anymore, and he can launch himself at an isolated champion.

  4. Ward your flanks

    Ward your jungle and your flanks: Paranoia (R) lets him launch himself at you from long range, and vision helps you see him coming.
