Statistical Matchup Analysis

Meta staple Aatrox (9.1% pick rate, 1st most popular out of 62 Top champions) rarely faces off-meta Wukong (0.9% pick rate). However, even uncommon picks can cheese unprepared players, so basic matchup knowledge provides valuable insurance. Identical tiers, different outcomes: Despite matching B+-tier ratings, Aatrox struggles with only 44.8% win rate. Wukong's mechanics prove more effective in this particular confrontation. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Grasp of the Undying + Demolish combination (67.1% win rate) plus optimal itemization Spear of Shojin, Voltaic Cyclosword, Sundered Sky, and Plated Steelcaps boosts your chances from 44.8% to 64.4% - potentially game-changing.

Farm your way back: Aatrox's superior farming (6.51 vs 5.91/min, 32nd among Top) offers a comeback path. Focus on safe CSing and capitalize on your 0.60 CS/min natural advantage. Damage doesn't equal wins: Aatrox outputs more damage (866 vs 762/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Complete dominance by Wukong: leads in both matchup win rate (55.2%) and KDA (2.00 vs 1.90, 20th vs 27th place). Aatrox players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.

How to Beat Wukong as Aatrox (Top)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

Except for rare builds, Aatrox deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Wukong deals mainly physical damage (79.40%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Aatrox is higher farming statistics (ranked 32nd among role champions) (versus 53rd for Wukong), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.0 versus 1.9) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Aatrox Top versus Wukong Top matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Aatrox player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Wukong player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

    Aatrox tips:

    • Use Umbral Dash while casting The Darkin Blade to increase your chances of hitting the enemy.
    • Crowd Control abilities like Infernal Chains or your allies' immobilizing effects will help you set up The Darkin Blade.
    • Cast World Ender when you are sure you can force a fight.

    Playing Against Wukong

    • Wukong will often use Decoy after Nimbus Strike. Try delaying your abilities by a short amount of time to ensure that you're hitting the real Wukong.
    • Wukong becomes tougher to kill when surrounded by his enemies. Try to isolate him to gain an advantage.
