Wukong Matchups

Enemy Matchups

Good Against
Garen	Garen has more scales than Wukong so landing against him is not hard For Wukong. Wukong can counter Garen's silence or his Ultimate by using his Nimbus strike to make Garen silent or ult Wukong's clone.
Jax	Wukong can use his Nimbus strike to counter Jax Leap strike and Counterstrike without that skill Jax won't be able to kill Wukong. Moreover, Wukong Ultimate has pretty good damage than Jax.
Olaf	Olaf and Wukong are strong early fighters they have good damage and attack speed. Wukong to dodge Undertow because Olaf has mana issues if he can't poke his axe.

Hard Counters
Master Yi	Wukong can deal a lot of damage but he is vulnerable when his Cyclone is on cooldown. Try to use Alpha Strike to dodge his Cyclone, use this advantage when you trying to 1vs1 him.
Tryndamere	Tryndamere has an advantage of his damage and critical and can kill Wukong on 1 vs 1 at top lane. When Wukong use warrior trickster, Tryndamere can use his mocking shout at that time to slow Wukong, then use Spinning slash to chase and kill Wukong with his full combo.
Nasus	Nasus should play passive against Wukong dont' try to trade kill with him in the early game try to stack up Siphoning strike first. When Wukong uses his Golden Staff, Nasus can counter him by using Wither and Spirit Fire to force Wukong back.
Darius	Darius has good output damage with his passive and will win the trade against Wukong. Darius can use Apprehend and Crippling Strike to force Wukong into the fight and It will be hard for Wukong to win and farm on the lane.
