[6.11] Every mistake is a lesson

Starting Items

• Basic start.
• Safer start.

Core Items

• You will rush this 90% of the time. Youmouu's > Boots > Black Cleaver
• vs. Heavy AP (Akali, Lux, LeBlanc, Diana, Ahri) Rush Malmortius!
• Defensive Choices (Pick 2 or even 3)
• Armor + CDR. Both good items on Wukong both be aware of the 40% cap!
• Example Build #1 (Assassin/Fighter)
• Example Build #2 (vs. Heavy AD)
• VERY Strong item on Wukong. Worth getting if you're ahead.

Situational Items

• ALL Situational. Good choices but NOT good enough.
• don't.

Ahri

Hard

Her mobility is way bigger than yours.

-  is a long poke that goes through minions, does true damage and gives her movement speed. 

- If you dash her, she will probably  you and do a lot of damage. (Even after the nerf, yes)

- If you Ult her, she can easily  out and then try to kill you.

Ask for ganks if possible when her ult is on cooldown, and always trade when she misses her charm.

VS

Akali

Hard

GAWD, where do I start?

-  does a lot of damage, even more than yours and with Thunderlord's it's insane.

-  counters you, so try to bring  in lane AND ignite.

- She heals herself. A LOT.

Avoid trading too much and ask for ganks.

VS

Annie

Easy

You just gotta avoid getting poked too much, and watch her passive.

- If you get caught by her passive and , you're probably dead.

- If you caught her without , she's probably dead.

VS

Azir

Hard

- Long range mage

- Denies farm to you

-  counters  and 

- Your only opportunity is from lvl 2 to 5. After that, it'll be really difficult.

Only IF the Azir is good. 
I won to an Azir today and totally stomped him, it's the way YOU play Wukong and the way HE plays Azir.

VS

Brand

Easy

-Good poking with  

-Stun with Q  whenever you come close

-If you avoid his  you will significantly survive lane and wait for an all-in at lvl 3 or even 6 if you're not sure.

VS

Cho'Gath

Hard

- Try to kill him at lvl 1 or 2.

- You won't kill him. 

- EVER.

- SERIOUSLY.

VS

Diana

Medium

As a Diana main too, this matchup is pretty easy until lvl 6 or 7.

- Your early levels are way more powerful than hers and you have shorter cooldowns.

- Try to make her back one or two times so she loses CS and don't trade for long periods of time. Her passive will deal TONS of damage.

- Level 6/7 be VERY careful with her  and she will try to poke you down to 50%-60% HP and then all-in you. 

- Wait for her to jump on you and use your  to counter her damage and deal some. She will most likely use her reset and then you can all-in her, she has long cooldown on .

Your  is your smartest move here.

VS

Ekko

Medium

Ekko is a strong champion who doesn't have a 100% effective counter (Maybe   ) but still, is a melee champion with a strong  poke , a really long stun (if landed), a blink  and a explosive ultimate  that will heal him, do damage and prevent his death.

- Avoid his  specially his back, because it deals more damage.

- If you have 2 stacks from his passive on you, he will most likely  and back out.

- Do small trades with  + AA +  and get him low.

- Whenever he's low HP, keep an eye on his  (try not to step on it) and all-in with  +  +  + . If he ults, just follow him up and finish the kill.

VS

Fizz

Medium

- Strong early levels like you.

- Avoid getting hit by  too much, and STAY away from his  as it will deal a lot of damage.

- At lvl 6 he will try to all in you with , so try to juke it or use  fast. All in and he may die.

VS

Katarina

Easy

- Poke with  and if she tries to , just throw your combo 1 second after ( passive) and win the trade.

- If she , you  and she's forced to  out.

VS

Lux

Hard

God damn, she's annoying.

- Long poke, slows, damage.

- She can  you ANY time you jump on her, and then all in you.

- She can poke you with  and hit her passive for Thunderlord's proc.

-  counters your all-in and if she brings barrier, you won't kill her any time soon.

VS

Talon

Medium

- Strong poke & slow with 

- Can easily proc Thunderlord's on you.

-  is nerfed so he won't be using it a lot. Buy pinks and  go harder.

- Small trades with   will do.

VS

Twisted Fate

Easy

-He has NO escape other than flash.

-Wait until his  is on cooldown, then  + AA +  and do damage.

Repeat until dead.

Easy kill at lvl 2-3-4.

If he picks Gold card,  REALLY fast, and he will stun the decoy instead of you.

JUKE.

VS

Yasuo

Medium

-A good Yasuo will snowball your lane easily.

-Try to avoid his  and trade with  + AA +  everytime you have thunderlord's.
-All in at 6 if he just wasted his .

VS

Zed

Medium

-His passive grants him good trading potential at low levels

-He can escape your  with 

-If he  you, use  as fast as possible to counter his damage, then follow him with  and PAY ATTENTION to his shadows, be ready to cancel your  and  him with .

Same as Azir and Yasuo. Good ones can easily win the lane. The average player will struggle to kill you if you use your  smartly.
