Skarner vs Wukong

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Skarner should leverage terrain control and suppression to dominate objective-front fights and isolate priority targets.
Focus on controlling river chokepoints before dragon, Herald, and Baron to maximize Skarner's gank threat and objective control.

Jungle Plan

Path camps toward wall-heavy lanes to maximize (E) pin and (R) suppression effectiveness during ganks.
Fight for river control and Scuttle when your lanes can follow up on your engages to secure dragon and Herald setups.
Track Wukong's pathing to counter-gank his level 6 engage and punish his cooldowns with suppression picks.

Danger windows

Early river fights without lane priority are dangerous due to Wukong's strong level 6 engage and clone deception.
Avoid low-health clears near contested objectives to prevent losing smite fights to Wukong.
Be cautious invading before securing vision control, as Wukong can bait cooldowns with his clone and punish overextensions.

Early game

Start with a full clear toward lanes with reliable wall angles to maximize (E) gank setups.
Contest first Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky fights.
Avoid chasing Wukong into open spaces where Skarner's terrain control loses value.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks Skarner's suppression (R), enabling high-impact ganks and objective control; use this to force fights around dragon and Herald.
Completing frontline tank items increases Skarner's durability in objective skirmishes, allowing sustained control and peel.
Wukong's level 6 engage with (R) knockup demands respect; avoid isolated river fights before you have your ultimate ready.

Win conditions

Convert terrain-based ganks into dragon and Rift Herald control by holding river chokepoints and denying Wukong's access.
Use (E) wall pin and (R) suppression to isolate and eliminate priority targets during skirmishes and teamfights.
Deny Wukong free farm and scaling by counter-jungling when lanes have priority and securing vision to anticipate his pathing.
