How it works
General
- You play as burst oriented Mage.
- You build AP items.
- You rush Hextech Rocketbelt.
Wukong AP specific
- Wukong's Nimbus Strike (E) has 100% ratio and hits 3 targets. It has the potential to deal massive damage, when an enemy team is grouped together.
How to play
General
- Playing AP Wukong build, your default rush is Hextech Rocketbelt.
- Adapt to an enemy team. Are they full of tanks, and they rush tons of Magic Resist? You rush Void Staff as #2 or #3 item to counter MR stacking. Their team has champs with lots of healing? Rush Oblivion Orb as #2 item (upgrade to Morellonomicon as 4th or 5th item).
- Somebody is going after you each fight? Always getting ulted by enemy assassins? Rush Zhonya's Hourglass.
Wukong AP specific
- This AP Wukong build relies on going in (preferably from bush, because W is good for escape), doing burst damage with E, auto, Q, auto and running away with W.
- With the combo mentioned above, you will deal plenty of damage from abilities + auto attacks + items.
- With this build, your R won't be super strong, so use it for CC, disrupting fights or running away.
Tips and Tricks
General
- Your Crushing Blow (Q) inflicts armor reduction. You can apply that debuff to enemy bruisers or tanks, making them easier to kill.
- You can be actually decent peeler for your carries (especially when playing off-meta roles). Your Cyclone (R) can knock the enemy up two times to cut your damage dealers some slack.
- You can pretend that you used Warrior Trickster (W) by stopping mid-fight with an S key (stop movement binding).
Riot
- Decoy and Nimbus Strike work well together to quickly strike your enemy and get out before they can retaliate.
- Try using Decoy near brush to make an enemy overreact to your movement.
