How to Beat Wukong as Vi (Jungle)

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, Vi deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Wukong deals mainly physical damage (79.65%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Wukong, ranking 25th (versus 48th for Vi) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.9 versus 2.4) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Vi Jungle versus Wukong Jungle matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Vi 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.

Vi tips:

  • A fully charged Vault Breaker will deal double damage. It's great for catching and finishing off fleeing enemies.
  • Relentless Force does full damage to anyone caught in the shockwave. Use it on minions in lane to hit enemies hiding behind them.
  • Cease and Desist is a powerful initiation tool, just remember not to get too far ahead of the rest of your team.

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.
