Karthus into Wukongmedium

Overview

Prioritize full clears early to leverage your superior clear speed and avoid early river fights.
Protect your farming tempo and vision to reach level 6 and your first AP item before contesting objectives.
Track Wukong's pathing to prevent surprise engages and coordinate counter-ganks effectively.

Maintain fast, efficient full clears to reach power spikes and control objective tempo.
Contest Scuttle Crab and river vision only when lanes can follow up on Wukong's engages.
Counter-jungle only if Wukong is tracked on the opposite side and you have lane priority to avoid his level 6 all-in.

Early game before level 6 when Wukong can invade with dash engage; avoid low-health clears and isolated river skirmishes.
Objective fights where Wukong's knockup can disrupt and force unfavorable smite contests.
When Wukong's is available and lanes lack priority, avoid overextending or fighting without vision.

Avoid fighting for first Scuttle Crab unless allied lanes have priority to support counter-ganks.
Use wards to track Wukong's movements and ping lanes before committing to river or jungle fights.

Level 6: Use to influence fights globally and finish low-health enemies after skirmishes.
First AP item: Cycle camps quickly to arrive at objectives first and increase damage output.
Respect Wukong's level 6 engage with knockup to avoid isolated river fights.

Convert fast full clears and item spikes into early objective control by securing vision and forcing Wukong away.
Use after fights start or enemies drop low to finish kills and pressure the map.
