Poppy vs Wukong

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Use Poppy's strong early invade and anti-dash tools to pressure Wukong and control river terrain.
Prioritize denying Wukong's access to objectives by leveraging (R) knockaway and terrain stuns to disrupt his engage and teamfight impact.

Jungle Plan

Path for early three-camp clears that position you near terrain for ganks or invades before Wukong hits level 6.
Fight for river control and Scuttle when your lanes can follow up on your (E) wall stuns and (W) dash denial.
Use (R) to remove Wukong from objective fights like dragon or Rift Herald to secure resets or deny his engage.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 when Wukong's (E) dash and clone can outmaneuver you.
Be cautious contesting objectives if Wukong's lanes have priority to follow his (R) engage.
Low-health clears without (W) ready expose you to Wukong's high dueling and gank threat.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear into early gank or invade around walls where (E) can stun Wukong.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to collapse on Wukong's approach.
Avoid fighting in open river areas without terrain as Wukong's (E) dash and (R) knockup threaten isolated skirmishes.

Power spikes

Level 6: Use (R) to disengage or isolate Wukong before he can engage with (R) knockup; bait his key engage to punish.
First tank item: Hold (W) to deny Wukong's (E) dash and extend your frontline durability in skirmishes.
Wukong's level 6 engage spike demands respecting his (R) knockup and clone deception to avoid bad fights.

Win conditions

Convert early terrain control and (E) wall stuns into successful invades and counter-jungling to deny Wukong farm.
Use (R) to disrupt Wukong's objective attempts and force fights on your terms.
Coordinate ganks around lanes that can capitalize on your (W) dash denial and (E) stun to snowball leads and control mid-game objectives.
