Graves vs Wukong

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Graves's faster clear and strong dueling to control jungle tempo and invade Wukong before level 6.
Prioritize river control and Scuttle vision to deny Wukong easy engages and objective setups.

Jungle Plan

Path for a three-camp clear into early invade on Wukong's side if his lanes lack priority.
Fight for first Scuttle only when your lanes can follow and river vision is established.
Track Wukong's first clear and be ready to counter-jungle or counter-gank around his level 6 spike and engage potential.

Danger windows

Avoid river fights when Wukong has level 6 and clone available to bait and disrupt your engages.
Be cautious contesting objectives if low on health or without vision, as Wukong can force smite fights with his knockup.
Respect enemy lanes' ability to follow Wukong's engages; avoid overextending without lane priority or vision control.

Early game

Start with a full clear to maximize health and tempo before contesting Scuttle if nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid early fights if Wukong approaches with level 6 threat and clone deception; instead, path to counter-gank or invade after his first clear.
Use superior clear speed to contest river camps and secure early Scuttle crab when safe.

Power spikes

Graves's early clear speed and armor stacking create strong level 3-4 skirmish potential; use this to invade or contest camps.
Wukong's level 6 (R) cyclone knockup is a major engage threat; respect this by avoiding isolated river fights before you have backup.
Graves's item scaling and burst (R) make him a strong mid-game tempo carry; maintain farm and tempo leads to leverage this.

Win conditions

Convert faster clears and early invade success into denying Wukong camps and controlling river vision.
Use ranged dueling and tempo leads to pressure objectives like Dragon and Rift Herald before Wukong reaches peak teamfight power.
Force fights around lanes with priority to capitalize on Wukong's engage cooldowns and prevent his scaling impact.
