How to play it

✓ DO

Auto-Q and leave

Auto-Q then walk away — poke with Q-max and disengage every trade, since his whole kit needs extended fights you never give him.

Don't ult the clone

When you use your ult, watch for his clone (W) — it can bait you into ulting the wrong Wukong.

Silence and dash out

Your Q silences him and Phase Rush lets you leave the trade, so his attack-speed and armor stacking never get going.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never sit in an extended trade — that's the only way his armor and attack-speed stacking beat you.
