Wukong vs Master Yi

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Wukong should focus on controlling river and early objectives using his level 6 engage to outmaneuver Master Yi's farming tempo.
Avoid early full invades unless lanes have priority, as Master Yi excels at farming and scaling without early pressure.

Jungle Plan

Start with full clear toward mid-side camps to align with teamfight lanes and first objective control.
Fight for Scuttle only if your lanes have priority and Master Yi is visible on opposite side.
Use level 6 (R) knockup to initiate river fights and force Master Yi to use defensive cooldowns before he can reset in fights.

Danger windows

Early game river fights before level 6 are risky; avoid isolated skirmishes where Master Yi can dodge CC and retaliate.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights favor Master Yi if he can reset; only contest objectives with vision and lane priority.
Master Yi becomes dangerous post-item spikes; respect his reset potential by coordinating CC and vision control in teamfights.

Early game

Prioritize a fast first clear to reach level 6 quickly and prepare for river skirmishes.
Contest first Scuttle when nearby lanes can assist, but avoid forced fights if Master Yi is nearby and lanes lack priority.
Use clone to bait Master Yi's counter-invade attempts and secure vision around dragon and Herald early.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks Wukong's cyclone engage, enabling strong river fights and objective control; use this to force Master Yi off camps.
Master Yi's level 6 (R) grants reset potential; avoid extended fights where he can clean up after your CC is down.
Wukong's mid-game teamfight power peaks with (R) knockup; leverage this to secure dragons and Rift Herald before Master Yi scales.

Win conditions

Convert level 6 engage into river and dragon control by coordinating with lanes that can follow your (R) knockup.
Deny Master Yi free farm by invading camps when lanes have priority and punish his low early pressure.
Use vision and clone deception to bait Master Yi into unfavorable fights, then secure Rift Herald and dragons to snowball team advantage.
