SKILLS
This is the list of skills of Wukong
Passive
The Great Sage
After Wukong uses a skill, his next basic attack transforms into a powerful strike, dashing to the target and dealing 475 (+100% physical attack) physical damage. This damage fully benefits from critical strike bonuses. Wukong naturally has a 20% critical strike rate but initially only deals 150% critical damage.
Tips: Wukong should use skills followed by basic attacks to deal higher damage. His passive critical strike, combined with critical strike items, can quickly eliminate squishy enemy heroes.
Skill 01
Protective Shroud
Cooldown: 12/11.6/11.2/10.8/10.4/10s, Cost: 70
Wukong chants a protective spell, blocking an enemy skill. The spell lasts up to 1.5 seconds. If he successfully blocks a skill, Wukong gains 0.2 seconds of invincibility and a shield that absorbs 500/600/700/800/900/1000 (+150% physical attack) (+15% extra HP) damage for 4 seconds. When this skill is activated, Wukong’s movement speed increases by 40% for 1 second.
Tips: Activate this skill at the right time to block an enemy skill, allowing Wukong to absorb a significant amount of damage.
Skill 02
Furious Advance
Cooldown: 6/5.8/5.6/5.4/5.2/5s, Cost: 50
Wukong dashes in a designated direction. If he hits a target along the path, he leaps into the air and gains 90% decaying movement speed for 1 second. Using a basic attack or skill will interrupt the leap.
Demon Slayer: During the dash, Wukong deals 240 (+20% physical attack) true damage to monsters he touches and instantly kills monsters with less than 15% current HP (excluding the Lord and Tyrant).
Tips: This is Wukong’s essential mobility skill, primarily used to approach enemies or leverage the movement to chase down other targets.
Ultimate
Golden Cudgel
Cooldown: 40/35/30s, Cost: 100
Wukong thrusts his Golden Cudgel into the ground, dealing 250/375/500 (+80% physical attack) physical damage to enemies in the area and knocking them up for 1 second. Enemies in the area receive 3 layers of marks. Wukong’s basic attacks on marked enemies consume one mark to deal an additional 270/405/540 physical damage.
Tips: This is Wukong’s primary control skill, providing excellent AOE crowd control and dealing extra damage to marked enemies.

Best Team Synergy for Monkey King
Peacemaker (Mozi)
After Mozi’s second skill stuns enemies, Sun Wukong can use his second skill to engage and start dealing damage, saving his first skill for self-preservation. This increases his margin for error and reduces operational pressure.
Frost (Wang Zhaojun)
If Frost’s second skill is used correctly, the freeze duration is enough for Monkey King to perform a full skill combo, reducing skill waste and increasing benefits, making it easier to widen the economic gap in the game.

Early Game:
- Focus on farming in your designated lane or jungle, prioritizing last hits on minions and jungle monsters to gain gold and experience. Utilize Monkey King’s passive and Furious Advance (2nd skill) for effective farming and mobility.
- Look for opportunities to engage enemy heroes if they overextend or have low health. Use Fortification Spell (1st skill) to block enemy abilities and reduce incoming damage.
- Coordinate with your teammates for possible ganks on other lanes using your mobility and crowd control from Golden Cudgel(ultimate skill).
Mid Game:

- Prioritize objectives such as towers, Dragons, Buffs, using your mobility and damage output to secure them quickly.
- In team fights, use vision and terrain to position yourself for dives on the enemy backline, aiming to eliminate their primary damage dealers (Marksman/Assassin).
Late Game:
- Stick with your team and continue to look for picks, using your mobility and crowd control to engage enemies. Ensure you have proper vision control around the map to avoid getting caught out of position.
- Focus on high-priority objectives such as Dragon and high ground towers. Use your mobility and damage to quickly secure these objectives.
- In team fights, continue diving the enemy backline, aiming to eliminate their primary damage dealers. Use Fortification Spells (1st skill) wisely to block crucial enemy Crowd Control, abilities and reduce incoming damage.
Throughout the game, adapt your item build based on the enemy team composition, prioritizing damage, critical strike chance, and survivability as needed. Communicate with your team and be mindful of your positioning to maximize his potential.
