Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Shaco's high early pressure and stealth to invade and disrupt Wukong's farming before he hits level 6.
Prioritize unpredictable pathing and box setups to control river entrances and deny Wukong safe access to objectives.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize early camp steals and unexpected ganks using (Q) invisibility to punish Wukong's medium invade resistance.
Control vision and place boxes around dragon and Rift Herald entrances to deny Wukong objective control.
Counter-gank lanes where Wukong shows early pressure, using clone and fear to turn fights in your favor.

Danger windows

Avoid river fights before level 6 if Wukong's nearby lanes have priority and can follow his engage.
Be cautious contesting objectives when low on health or without proper box vision control.
Watch for forced smite fights around dragon and Herald where Wukong's engage can swing outcomes.

Early game

Start with a clear that allows early level 2 or 3 gank or invade cheese to break lanes before Wukong reaches level 6.
Contest first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to leverage Shaco's early gank threat.
Avoid predictable routes once Wukong tracks your box placements to maintain surprise and safety.

Shaco's (Q) invisibility and (W) box setup create strong early skirmish advantages before Wukong's level 6 engage.
Wukong's level 6 cyclone engage demands respect; avoid extended fights before you have traps and clone ready.
