Kindred vs Wukong

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Kindred's high early game pressure to contest marks and river fights when nearby lanes have priority.
Focus on ranged kiting and objective control to outscale Wukong's mid-game teamfight engage.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize paths that secure marks and maintain lane priority to safely contest river and Scuttle crab.
Invade Wukong only when nearby lanes can provide counter-gank support or when Wukong is on a slow clear path.
Use vision control around dragon and Rift Herald to force Wukong into unfavorable fights and deny his objective setups.

Danger windows

Be cautious contesting early Scuttle or river fights without lane priority; Wukong's (E) dash and (R) knockup enable strong engages.
Avoid low-health clears or isolated jungle fights where Wukong can use his clone to bait and punish.
Watch for Wukong's level 6 timing to prevent forced smite fights or objective steals under pressure.

Early game

Start with a clear that secures early marks and positions you to contest first Scuttle if lanes can assist.
Avoid fighting Wukong early without lane priority; instead, path to secure marks and vision before river contests.
Use mobility to kite and reposition around river fights, avoiding Wukong's engage before level 6.

Power spikes

Kindred's marks and item scaling create a strong late-game carry window; play to extend the game safely.
Respect Wukong's level 6 power spike with (R) knockup; avoid isolated river fights before you have backup.
Kindred's (R) fight reset is key to winning extended objective fights; use it to outlast Wukong's engage burst.

Win conditions

Use lane priority to secure all early marks and force Wukong into inefficient farming paths.
Kite and poke in river fights, leveraging ranged damage and (R) resets to control dragon and Rift Herald.
Deny Wukong scaling by counter-jungling safely and converting objective control into teamfight advantages through sustained damage.
