Any tips for a new-ish Wukong from mains? (current rank Silver IV)

Chatillon··1 votes·856 views

Hello all, I recently picked up Wu for ranked with the recent Volibear nerfs, and I have found I have a much higher win rate and enjoy him more than i ever did voli. I play him jungle, which i know is not optimal, but it works really well for me and gives my team an assassin and a good teamfight presence and he scales well.

So my question is, do you have any tips for me about your favorite jungle paths, builds, and other strategies?

I'm still getting used to optimizing usage of his W and Im terrible at playing him without early kills (ty shaco) but Im learning. My win rate on him is very high and so are my scores (which i know dont matter but to an extent as long as i dont feed).

My average build

item 1039 item 2031 item 1036 item 2043 item 3133 item 1001 item 1400 item 3117 item 3071 item 3742 / item 3143 / item 3102 if i need tank

then its an assortment of item 3074 item 3156 item 3812 (i dont know about this) item 3036 (havent bought this ever) and then i switch out mobis for tabis or mercs later

then red or gray pot depending on the game.

My path is usually gromp/krugs - buff - skuttle -raptors - gank - wolves - skuttle - buff - back - gank

and thats the optimal one. the path isnt always that.

i run thunderlords 8 - 12 with the attack speed on offensive

AD quints and marks +1% crit chance of justice armor seals scaling mr glyphs

Help is appreciated!

ty i will. I dont know about titanic thou. You dont auto a ton as wu, but ill try the build. steraks sounds nice thou

It adds some solid burst, wukong scales well with hp and ad given his passive.. a build like this gives u a nice amount of initiating burst, while also having the ability to survive.

Don't take thunderlords, you don't need the burst as a jungle champion. Take strength of ages and don't take mobility boots on him, it's garbage unleast you plan on roaming a lot. Also what do you max first on wukong? If you're maxing q, just don't it's so bad for jungle clearing

I max e first because it has high damage and gives me more clear speed. I take mobility boots 90% of the time because I do roam a lot and provide early pressure to my lanes because they usually need it. I gank a ton as wu, and mobi's help.

I have found that my win rate was lower w/o thunderlords because i lack damage and I cant count the times i got a kill that i wouldnt have without thunderlords

Don't listen to him. Thunderlords is amazing on Wu. I'm a Wu one trick feel free to look up my stats. It does make your early clear difficult though. My first clear is pretty much always start bot side for better leash, one buff, scuttle one more camp and back for hunters potion. Start machete and refillable pot. Deaths dance is better than hydra for jungle Wu. The only benefit of Hydra is waveclear which is why Wu top takes it to split push faster
