How to Beat Diana as Wukong (Jungle)

While statistically Wukong is slightly stronger than Diana in the jungle, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

Except for rare builds, Wukong deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Meanwhile, Diana deals primarily magic damage (79.71%), additional magic resistance may be required.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Diana, ranking 3rd (versus 17th for Wukong) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.3 versus 2.9) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Wukong Jungle versus Diana Jungle matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Wukong player to maintain constant pressure on Diana, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Wukong tips:

  • 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.

Playing Against Diana

  • Dodge Crescent Strike, or move to safety if you are affected by Moonlight.
  • Pale Cascade orbs only last a few seconds. Avoid Diana and engage her after the shield dissipates.
  • Diana can play very aggressively if she uses Lunar Rush without Moonlight, but you can punish her by slowing or stunning her when she has no way to get back into position.
