Master Yi vs Wukong

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize full clears and item tempo over early river fights to avoid losing tempo to Wukong's stronger early dueling and gank threat.
Focus on scaling through high clear speed and reset potential; avoid early skirmishes where Wukong's engage and knockup can punish.
Play around Wukong's level 6 engage power by tracking his position and only contest river or objectives when lanes have priority.

Jungle Plan

Use full clear pathing toward safe resets and item progression, avoiding early fights that waste tempo.
Contest Scuttle Crab and river control only when allied lanes can follow up on Wukong's engage or when Wukong is tracked on the opposite side.
Prioritize farming camps cross-map to maintain tempo and look for reset cleanup fights after Wukong's crowd control is committed.

Danger windows

Early game river fights before level 6 are dangerous due to Wukong's knockup and dash engage.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights increase vulnerability; avoid these unless confident in counter-gank support.
Objective setups where Wukong can isolate or initiate with (R) knockup require caution and lane priority to contest safely.

Early game

Start with a full clear to reach item spikes quickly, avoiding early invades unless lanes can move first.
Only contest first Scuttle Crab if nearby lanes have priority and can support counter-ganks against Wukong's early pressure.
Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 to reduce risk from Wukong's engage and knockup combo.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for resets and chase; enter fights only after Wukong uses his knockup to maximize cleanup potential.
First item spike increases sustained damage and objective speed; maintain high camp tempo and join fights with reset opportunities.
Respect Wukong's level 6 engage and knockup, which enable strong river and objective fights; avoid committing before this point.

Win conditions

Convert superior clear speed and scaling into item spikes to out-damage Wukong in extended fights.
Use vision and tracking to counter-gank Wukong's level 6 engage and punish cooldowns after his knockup is used.
Focus on clean-up fights and objective control post-level 6, leveraging (Q) untargetability and (R) resets to secure kills and dragons.
