Darius vs Wukong

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Darius's early dueling strength to contest jungle camps and deny Wukong's tempo before level 6.
Prioritize river vision and Scuttle control to limit Wukong's level 6 engage and teamfight impact.

Jungle Plan

Path for a three-camp clear then contest Scuttle only if lanes can follow or counter-gank Wukong's engages.
Invade and steal camps when Wukong is on opposite side or pathing toward teamfight lanes to leverage higher pre-6 dueling power.
Control dragon vision and Herald setup to leverage stronger objective control and deny Wukong's scaling.

Danger windows

Beware Wukong's level 6 river fights where his knockup (R) can isolate and disrupt.
Avoid low-health clears or forced smite fights near dragon where Wukong's engage and clone deception peak.
Exercise caution when lanes lack priority, as Wukong can invade or force unfavorable skirmishes.

Early game

Full clear quickly to reach level 3 and contest first Scuttle when lanes have priority.
Avoid early invades without strong lane priority or vision advantage to punish Wukong's medium invade resistance.
Secure river Scuttle when safe to deny Wukong's engage setup and force him to farm.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks execute (R) making extended trades lethal; stack passive before committing.
First bruiser item completion boosts durability and damage for longer fights and counter-jungling.
Respect Wukong's level 6 engage spike by contesting river vision and avoiding isolated fights without backup.

Win conditions

Convert early dueling wins into counter-jungling pressure to deny Wukong farm and delay his level 6 spike.
Use vision control around dragon and Rift Herald to force favorable teamfights where your all-in and execute reset excel.
Leverage stronger side-lane pressure and objective control to snowball leads and force Wukong into reactive play.
