Nocturne vs Wukong

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize full clears to hit level 6 on schedule and leverage your strong dueling and gank threat with (R).
Use your global ultimate to punish overextended lanes and create numbers advantages around dragon and Rift Herald.

Jungle Plan

Use your full clear speed to maintain tempo and track Wukong's pathing to anticipate his first gank or invade.
Fight for river control and Scuttle when your lanes have priority to deny Wukong easy setups for his (R) engage.
Use (R) to cross-map and punish overextensions or low-vision targets before starting dragon or Rift Herald.

Danger windows

Be cautious of isolated river fights early where Wukong can use his (E) dash and (R) knockup to engage effectively.
Avoid low-health clears near contested objectives to prevent losing smite fights or getting collapsed on.
Watch for multi-lane collapses as your medium invade resistance makes you vulnerable to coordinated counter-jungles.

Early game

Start with a full clear focusing on efficient camp sequencing to reach level 6 before Wukong can threaten with his engage.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority and can follow up on your plays.
Avoid early river fights without vision and lane support to reduce risk from Wukong's (E) dash and (R) knockup combo.

Power spikes

At level 6, your (R) greatly increases gank threat and objective control; look to force fights or picks then.
Your (W) spell shield enhances dueling by blocking key enemy spells; engage when it’s available to win skirmishes.
Respect Wukong's level 6 spike with (R) knockup as it enables strong teamfight engage and river skirmishes.

Win conditions

Convert your level 6 ultimate picks into objective control by securing dragons and Rift Herald with your team.
Use your superior dueling and spell shield to contest and deny Wukong’s jungle camps, slowing his scaling.
Maintain vision and river control to enable cross-map plays and prevent Wukong from setting up his teamfight engages.
