Wukong vs Jax

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Reach level 6 quickly to leverage (R) engage for river fights and teamfight disruption against Jax's scaling threat.
Prioritize river vision and Scuttle control to enable impactful ganks and objective setups before Jax hits key item spikes.

Jungle Plan

Path through lanes with strong follow-up to your (R) engage for effective ganks and skirmishes.
Use your clone to bait (E) stun before committing to river fights or counter-jungling.
Control dragon and Rift Herald vision to force Jax into reactive plays and deny his scaling advantage.

Danger windows

Avoid contesting river fights when (E) is available as he can dodge damage and stun you.
Steer clear of isolated fights early when low on health from clears, as Jax's sustained damage and stun punish mistakes.
Respect Jax's level 6 and item spikes by not engaging extended duels without your (R) ready and lane priority secured.

Early game

Balance your first clear for health and mana to hit level 6 efficiently without risky early invades against Jax.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to reduce counter-gank risk and secure river control.
Avoid extended early fights; path toward lanes that can follow your (R) knockup to maximize gank threat.

Power spikes

Level 6 is your major spike; use (R) to initiate river fights and secure objectives before Jax scales.
Your dueling power peaks mid-game with clone deception; force skirmishes before Jax's two-item spike.
Maintain pressure before Jax completes key items to deny him extended side-lane fights where he excels.

Win conditions

Convert level 6 power into coordinated river engages to secure dragon and Rift Herald with your team.
Use clone deception to bait cooldowns and create counter-jungle opportunities denying Jax farm and scaling.
Leverage your teamfight disruption to force Jax into unfavorable fights, preventing his splitpush and scaling.
