Introduction
As you walk through the jungle towards your blue buff, you notice that there’s a key teamfight on the other side of the map. You start your teleport, noting who’s low on health and what you might have to protect yourself from.Suddenly, you hear a low “WOOHAA” and a monkey comes out of nowhere, spinning like a Beyblade. You fly into the sky, only to land straight in the path of his staff. In less than a second, you’re dead. 5 seconds later, your toplaner is dead.
Wukong is a fighter with powerful utility and high base damage. He’s good in wombo combo compositions and is good in early skirmishes.
In order to stop Wukong from killing you out of nowhere, you need to know how to exploit his weaknesses. In this guide, I’ll be teaching you to deal with this monkey.
