Arrr, reference patch16.20.1

Arrr, strengths and limits

What Wukong does well, and what can go wrong

These be kit-level patterns, nay a promise that every course or matchup plays th' same way.

Arrr, good patterns

Arrr, combines damage and durability in committed skirmishes or extended exchanges.
Arrr, creates space through durability, control or a reliable front-line threat.

Arrr, limits to respect

Can be worn down or controlled afore reaching th' range where th' kit be strongest.
Durability does nay make an unsupported engage seaworthy or guarantee enough damage to finish a target.
Basic attacks require belay access, so foe range, slows and displacement can deny a clean trade.

Arrr, riot ally tips

Use these while learning th' champion

Decoy and Nimbus Strike work well together to quickly strike yer foe and get out afore they can retaliate.

Try using Decoy nigh brush to make an foe overreact to yer movement.

Riot foe tips

What an foe be told to watch fer

Wukong will often use Decoy after Nimbus Strike. Try delaying yer tricks by a short amount o' time to ensure that ye're hitting th' real Wukong.

Arrr, Wukong becomes tougher to kill when surrounded by his enemies. Try to isolate him to gain an advantage.

Arrr, practical champion reading

Arrr, how to read Wukong in a real fight

Use these patterns to ask better questions afore choosing an gear, target or commitment. They describe th' kit, nay a promised result.

Arrr, damage delivery

Arrr, primarily physical pressure

Armour can reduce th' broad physical profile. Separate basic attacks from physical tricks afore relying on an gear passive that only affects attacks.

Arrr, fight rhythm

Arrr, repeated access matters

Th' threat grows while this champion can keep attacking a useful target. Break target access, create distance or use control afore th' repeated pattern settles in.

Arrr, range and access

Needs belay access fer basic attacks

Range, slows, displacement and terrain can deny th' clean contact this champion wants. Course th' course in as carefully as th' damage after arrival.

Typical crew job

Arrr, create space and absorb attention

Th' kit be most often most valuable when it controls an entrance, protects a carry or begins a fight crewmates can actually reach. Durability does nay make an isolated engage seaworthy.

Control inspect

Identify th' exact movement restriction

Tenacity can shorten only eligible control. Displacements, airborne effects and repeated slows need their own positioning, blocking or movement captain's answer.

Arrr, protection and sustain

Inspect whether recovery changes th' fight

Anti-heal or anti-shielding be situational. Buy it only when th' effect be materially protecting targets and yer champion can apply th' captain's answer reliably.

Arrr, resource pattern

Arrr, mana and cooldowns both matter

A spell being available does nay mean th' shipshape sequence be sustainable. Watch th' resource bar as well as th' setup and escape cooldowns.

Defensive gear reference

What can help against Wukong?

Set sail wit' th' threat that be actually affecting th' clash. These be conditional comparisons, nay an automatic counter loadout.

Pre-battle choices

Arrr, dEFENSIVE BOOTS

Plated Steelcaps most often fit better

Armour and attack reduction address repeated physical basic attacks. Th' passive does nay reduce every physical trick.

Pick Mercury's Treads instead when magic damage or reducible crowd control across th' full crew matters more booty.

Arrr, repeated attacksDisplacementArrr, healing or sustainHull-scaling or true damage

Arrr, pHYSICAL DEFENCE

Arrr, physical defence

Armour · hull · role-appropriate defence

Armour can reduce physical damage, but Plated Steelcaps' passive be specific to attacks.

Clash th' gear to attacks, critical strikes or trick burst rather than buying armour from th' label alone.

Arrr, rEPEATED ATTACKS

Arrr, repeated attacks

Arrr, Plated Steelcaps · Frozen Heart

These can reduce attack-focused pressure when their stats fit yer champion.

Do nay use this as an captain's answer to physical spells that be nay attacks.

Arrr, cONTROL AND ONE KEY SPELL

Arrr, control and one key spell

Arrr, Mercury's Treads · Quicksilver Sash · Banshee's Veil · Edge of Night

Tenacity and a removable-control active can lend a hand agin' th' relevant disabling effects. Airborne and displacement effects be nay solved simply by stacking Tenacity.

Inspect th' present tooltip and whether th' exact effect can be shortened, removed or blocked.

Arrr, mEANINGFUL HEALING

Arrr, meaningful healing

Arrr, bramble Vest or Thornmail · Morellonomicon · Mortal Reminder

A role-appropriate Grievous Wounds gear can reduce healing.

Buy it only when healing be materially changing fights and yer champion can apply it reliably.

Arrr, hEALTH-SCALING OR TRUE DAMAGE

Hull-scaling or true damage

Shields · sustain · positioning · exact resistance inspect

Raw hull or one resistance may be incomplete agin' percent-hull, lost overboard-hull or true-damage mechanics.

Read th' present trick tooltip afore choosing defence; these mechanics do nay all use th' same counter.
