Jarvan IV vs Wukong

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Jarvan IV's strong early gank pressure and reliable engage to snowball lanes before Wukong hits level 6.
Prioritize contesting river control and early objectives to deny Wukong's scaling and teamfight impact.

Jungle Plan

Path to lanes with setup to maximize gank threat and force Wukong's flash early for repeat pressure.
Use early gank tempo to secure first dragon or Rift Herald instead of full clears.
Track Wukong's position and be ready to counter-gank his level 6 engage around river and objectives.

Danger windows

Avoid invading or fighting when (E)+(Q) is on cooldown, as Jarvan IV's engage and escape are significantly weakened.
Respect Wukong's level 6 cyclone (R) knockup for river skirmishes and objective fights; avoid isolated 1v1s post-6.
Be cautious during low-health clears or forced smite fights where Wukong's clone and knockup can turn fights.

Early game

Opt for a level 3 gank path targeting lanes with crowd control or immobile carries to force early flashes.
Fight for first Scuttle only when nearby lanes can follow and provide priority to secure river control.
Avoid extended early duels with Wukong if (E)+(Q) combo is down to reduce invade risk.

Power spikes

Level 2-3: Use (E)+(Q) to engage and force early summoners or kills; punish Wukong before he reaches level 6.
Level 6: Leverage (R) to trap Wukong or enemy jungler, securing objectives or enabling successful dives.
First tank or fighter item spike: Use frontline durability to initiate teamfights and protect carries.

Win conditions

Convert early gank pressure into lane leads and objective control by securing dragons and Rift Herald.
Use (R) to trap Wukong or enemy jungler around objectives, denying smite and enabling team advantages.
Snowball leads by counter-jungling when lanes have priority and collapsing on overextended targets with (E)+(Q) engage.
