Wukong vs Jarvan IV

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Wukong should focus on reaching level 6 efficiently to leverage his strong teamfight engage with (R).
Prioritize controlled pathing toward lanes with setup for impactful ganks and objective fights.
Avoid early risky invades that delay level 6 power spike and favor fighting around lanes that can follow up on your engage.

Jungle Plan

Full clear toward side with strongest lane priority to set up level 6 and objective control.
Fight for Scuttle Crab only when your lanes can collapse quickly to secure vision and deny Jarvan IV's engage.
Track Jarvan IV's first gank paths and prepare counter-ganks or invade his jungle when his (E)+(Q) combo is down.

Danger windows

Jarvan IV's level 2-3 gank window is high risk; avoid isolated river fights or overextended lanes without vision.
Be cautious contesting objectives when (R) is available to trap you or your team.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights near Jarvan IV's frontline engage put you at risk; avoid these without lane support.

Early game

Start with a clear that balances health and tempo to hit level 6 before Jarvan IV can snowball early ganks.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support river fights.
Avoid early fights without vision or lane priority to prevent Jarvan IV's level 2-3 gank pressure from punishing you.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) cyclone knockup, turning river skirmishes and objective fights in your favor; use it to initiate or disrupt.
Mid-game power spikes come from completed bruiser items that enhance your dueling and teamfight presence.
Jarvan IV's level 2-3 gank threat requires you to respect his early engage and avoid overextending before your own level 6.

Win conditions

Convert level 6 engage into river and dragon control by coordinating with lanes that can follow your (R) knockup.
Use clone deception to bait Jarvan IV's cooldowns before committing to objective fights or counter-jungling.
Deny Jarvan IV free farm by invading when his engage combo is down and leverage superior dueling to scale into mid-game teamfights.
