When do you build these items of Wukong?

EDIT: DO NOT JUST GIVE A BUILD. EXPLAIN IT WITH AT LEAST SOME DETAIL AND VARIATIONS.

Reading over the League of Graphs Wukong stats, there are a lot of highly varying winrates based on what the first 3 items are.

SPEND A MINUTE OR TWO READING OVER THE ITEM AND BUILD STATISTICS ON THIS PAGE BEFORE POSTING!! http://www.leagueofgraphs.com/champions/items/monkeyking/top/diamond (this is the highest tier they show, as the LCS page is blank)


These are my thoughts on the items Wukong builds (tell if I'm wrong about some of them): item 3142 Normal First, Second if BC was built first item 3071 Normal Second, First vs Tanks, Third if Duskblade was built second item 3147 Second when snowballing (and you don't desperately need any of the other items) item 3742 Third vs AD, Fourth vs AD if Duskblade was build item 3156 Third vs AP, Fourth vs AP if Duskblade was build item 3074 ???? item 3812 Fourth or Fifth if you have Hydra item 3053 Third Fourth or Fifth vs Burst item 3036 Fourth or Fifth vs High HP item 3068 Fourth as Tankong item 3025 Fifth as Tankong item 3143 Fourth or Fifth vs fed ADC item 3139 Fourth or Fifth vs excessive CC item 3102 Desperate for more MR

(I build boots after the first or second itemitem 3009 item 3111 item 3047 )

Hello! My name is Exa1, and I'm currently a P5 Wukong jungle main with about a 60% win ratio. Here are my thoughts on the items and how I play Wukong as a full AD assassin.

item 3142 I normally get this item first because it allows you to reach a target that you need to assassinate. If I'm agaisnt a hard AP match-up mid or they have a lot of AP burst then I'll get hexdrinker first. item 3071 I actually don't get this item usually. My games end before I get full items but this would probably be my 4th or 5th item because I play assassin Wu, and so the passive won't matter if I delete their carries with my combo before they touch the ground. it's a good item if you want some tankiness and armor reduction for your team (if they have like 3 tanks or so). item 3147 I'll usually get this third in the jungle, but I would see it going 2nd or 3rd mid lane depending on matchup. item 3742 Third vs AD, Fourth vs AD if Duskblade was build - This sounds like what I already do. item 3156 Usually get this first mid lane or I rush the hexdrinker into ghostblade. In the jungle I get this 2nd or 3rd depending on who can blow me up before I can kill the squishies. item 3074 I used to rush this, but I only really offers Wu good wave clear. I'll get this if we need to defend large waves or I'm split pushing. item 3812 Never really get this tbh. I think the passive doesn't really help Wu IMO. I think a defensive item or cleaver is better. item 3053 Third Fourth or Fifth vs Burst - I usually don't get this because I think Maw and Deadman's is better. item 3036 Fourth or Fifth vs High HP - I Never get this. item 3068 Fourth as Tankong - I don't go tank, but this would be a decent item, item 3025 Fifth as Tankong - I never get this. item 3143 Fourth or Fifth vs fed ADC - Only if they have crit, but I think damage is better since you can e -> q -> ult squishies and kill them before they can flash or hit the ground. item 3139 Fourth or Fifth vs excessive CC - seems about right, but I also just wait out cc spells before I go in or I kill the squishies and use my clone to block cc or escape. item 3102 Desperate for more MR - That, or a spell that will block your dash. (I build boots after the first or second itemitem 3009 ) I usually get boots fully upgraded as second item in the jungle and third item in lane. I also get distortion boots when I have enough gold left over so I can flash and one shot squishies.

Care to explain WHY? I didn't ask for builds, I asked for explanations for each item and when it's appropriate to build them. No champion has ONE exclusive build path without any variations.

Cause it allows him to be tanky and still do a shit load of damage...

I'm bumping the post because no one has responded since that one guy 3 hours ago.
