Hecarim vs Wukong

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Hecarim's superior clear speed to maintain high camp tempo and pressure lanes that overextend early.
Prioritize river control and objective setup to leverage Hecarim's strong mid-game dive and ultimate engage threat.

Jungle Plan

Path for fast clears toward lanes with lane priority to enable early counter-ganks against Wukong's level 6 engage.
Contest Scuttle when your lanes can assist, using your speed to control river vision and deny Wukong easy setups.
Use your speed to punish Wukong's predictable post-level 6 river plays and force objective fights when your ultimate can reach carries from fog.

Danger windows

Respect Wukong's level 6 power spike when he can initiate with (R) cyclone, especially in isolated river fights.
Avoid low-health clears where Wukong can collapse with clone deception and sustained damage.
Be cautious contesting objectives without lane priority or vision as Wukong's engage can turn fights against you.

Early game

Start with a full clear focusing on camps near lanes likely to push forward to maximize gank pressure.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support river control.
Avoid early direct invades unless you have vision and lane priority to punish Wukong's medium invade resistance.

Power spikes

Hecarim's level 6 spike with (R) fear engage allows strong objective fights and skirmishes; use it to force fights around dragon and Herald.
Wukong's level 6 (R) knockup is a major threat; respect his engage timing and avoid isolated river fights without vision.
Hecarim's fast clear speed spikes early tempo; use this to outpace Wukong and pressure his jungle pathing.

Win conditions

Convert fast clears and high mobility into counter-ganks and invade opportunities to deny Wukong farm and tempo.
Use ultimate engages to initiate objective fights when your team can follow up, securing dragon and Rift Herald control.
Leverage mid-game scaling by pressuring overextended lanes and forcing fights where your speed and fear control the enemy carries.
