Wukong vs Graves

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Wukong must manage tempo by farming efficiently toward level 6 before contesting Graves, who pressures early with faster clears and invades.
Focus on using level 6 engage and clone deception to turn river fights and objective contests in your favor.

Jungle Plan

Path toward lanes with priority to set up impactful (R) engages and secure dragon or Rift Herald control.
Counter-jungle Graves when he commits to predictable gank paths or after he uses (E) dash aggressively.
Use clone to bait Graves's damage and cooldowns before committing to river fights or objective setups.

Danger windows

Avoid river fights before level 6 when Graves can outduel you with ranged poke and (E) mobility.
Be cautious contesting Scuttle or objectives if Graves has lane priority and vision control, as he can force smite fights.
Low-health clears or forced objective fights without vision can be punished by Graves's strong early skirmishing and invade potential.

Early game

Prioritize a clean first clear to hit level 6 quickly, avoiding early invades unless a lane has strong follow-up for your (R) engage.
Fight for Scuttle only when nearby lanes can assist or Graves shows on the opposite side of the map.
Avoid extended fights before level 6 as Graves's faster clear and ranged poke can punish you early.

Power spikes

Level 6 is your main power spike; use (R) cyclone knockup to initiate and disrupt multiple enemies in river skirmishes.
Graves's early clear speed and (E) dash give him a strong early dueling spike; respect this by avoiding isolated fights pre-6.
Post-level 6, your dueling and teamfight presence surpass Graves if you force fights around your clone and (R) engage.

Win conditions

Convert level 6 engage into river skirmishes to secure dragon and Rift Herald with lane priority and vision control.
Use clone deception to bait Graves's cooldowns, then counter-jungle or force objectives while he is vulnerable.
Leverage your superior mid and late-game teamfight disruption to deny Graves scaling and secure decisive fights around objectives.
