Nunu & Willump vs Wukong

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Use Nunu & Willump's superior early clear speed and objective control to pressure dragon and Rift Herald before Wukong hits level 6.
Avoid isolated duels with Wukong and leverage (W) angles from fog to create gank opportunities and force deep wards.
This matchup is control vs teamfight; prioritize map tempo and objective starts over direct skirmishes.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize pathing that enables early dragon or Rift Herald starts when Wukong shows on the opposite side of the map.
Fight for river control and Scuttle only when lanes can move first to avoid Wukong's strong level 6 engage.
Track Wukong's pathing to counter-gank his first pressure and use (Q) plus Smite to secure contested objectives quickly.

Danger windows

Beware of Wukong's level 6 power spike where his (R) knockup enables strong river and objective fights.
Avoid isolated river fights or invades without lane priority to prevent getting caught by Wukong's clone and engage.
Be cautious during low-health clears or forced smite fights where Wukong can capitalize on your weaker dueling.

Early game

Start with a fast clear using (Q) to maintain health and tempo, then contest first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid early invades unless lanes can follow, as Wukong's dueling and level 6 engage can punish isolated fights.
Use (W) from fog to gank lanes that overextend or lack vision, then convert successful ganks into immediate objective pressure.

Power spikes

First dragon or Herald spawn: Use (Q) plus Smite to secure objectives and force fights on your terms.
Level 6: Layer (R) after (W) or allied CC to maximize zone control and punish enemies caught in your crowd control chain.
Respect Wukong's level 6 engage with (R) knockup; avoid isolated fights before your team can follow up.

Win conditions

Convert early ganks and (W) engages into fast dragon or Rift Herald takes to build map control and deny Wukong scaling.
Use superior objective control with (Q) and Smite to secure contested camps and force Wukong onto the back foot.
Leverage your utility and crowd control in teamfights to lock down targets and enable your carries to follow up on Wukong's engages.
