Ivern vs Wukong

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Ivern's unique camp marking and buff-sharing to deny Wukong camps without engaging in direct duels.
Play around lanes that can follow up on (Q) root and Daisy's knockup to leverage gank threat and objective setups.
Prioritize utility scaling and counter-jungle routing to outpace Wukong's mid-game teamfight engage.

Jungle Plan

Use creative routing to deny Wukong's jungle camps while avoiding direct duels until your team can assist.
Fight for river control and Scuttle when your lanes have priority to secure vision and objective setup.
Track Wukong's pathing to counter-gank his level 6 engage and leverage Daisy's knockup for teamfight disruption.

Danger windows

Beware of Wukong's level 6 engage timing around river and dragon where his (R) knockup can disrupt your team.
Avoid isolated fights when Wukong has clone and dash available, especially if your lanes lack priority.
Low-health clears and forced smite fights against Wukong's dueling strength increase risk; delay contesting objectives without lane support.

Early game

Start with a safe full clear focusing on marking camps to delay Wukong's clear and enable buff sharing.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to collapse quickly and avoid isolated fights.
Avoid early 1v1 fights; instead, path to protect delayed camp pickups and prepare for counter-ganks around level 6.

Power spikes

Ivern's utility and crowd control spike with Daisy and (Q) root enable strong teamfight presence; use this to protect carries and initiate objectives.
Wukong's level 6 (R) cyclone is a major engage threat; respect this window by avoiding isolated river fights.
Ivern's medium early game pressure allows for opportunistic invades when Wukong is low or overextended.

Win conditions

Convert creative jungle routing and camp denial into objective control by coordinating with lanes that can follow your (Q) and Daisy setup.
Use vision and river control to force Wukong into team-based fights where your utility outscales his dueling.
Leverage counter-gank timing around Wukong's level 6 power spike to deny his engage and secure dragons and Rift Herald.
