How to Beat Shaco as Wukong (Jungle)

While statistically Wukong is slightly stronger than Shaco 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. Shaco has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.

An important advantage of Wukong is higher farming statistics (ranked 52nd among role champions) (versus 57th for Shaco), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.8 versus 2.9) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Wukong Jungle versus Shaco 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 Shaco, 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 Shaco

  • If Shaco is doing well early-game, it is worth the investment to place Stealth Wards near his Jungle camps.
  • If Shaco uses Deceive to enter a fight he won't be able to quickly use it again to get away. Work with your team to quickly focus him down.
