Wukong vs Elise

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Wukong should focus on reaching level 6 efficiently to leverage his strong teamfight engage against Elise's early pressure.
Prioritize controlled clears and avoid early skirmishes before level 6 unless a lane has strong follow-up for your engage.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize pathing toward lanes that can collapse on Elise after your (R) engage to secure kills and objective setups.
Fight for Scuttle Crab when lane priority allows, then use vision control to track Elise and counter-gank her early dives.
Use clone to bait Elise's (E) cocoon before committing to river fights or invades, minimizing her burst threat.

Danger windows

Beware Elise's level 3 to 4 window where her early gank and invade pressure peaks with (E) cocoon and rappel.
Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 where Elise's burst and stun can punish Wukong's medium invade resistance.
Be cautious contesting dragon early without lane priority or vision, as Elise can force smite fights with her early kill threat.

Early game

Start with a standard clear path that balances health and tempo to hit level 6 before Elise can snowball.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support river fights and reduce Elise's early invade threat.
Avoid full clears into Elise's jungle early; instead, path toward lanes with gank potential and objective control.

Power spikes

Level 6 is a major spike; use (R) cyclone to initiate teamfights and river skirmishes where Elise's early burst is less effective.
Post-level 6, Wukong's dueling power and clone deception allow winning isolated fights and punishing Elise's aggressive invades.
Mid-game item breakpoints that enhance survivability and damage increase Wukong's ability to contest objectives and engage safely.

Win conditions

Convert level 6 engage into river and dragon control by coordinating with lanes that can follow your (R) knockup.
Use clone deception to bait Elise's cooldowns and punish her jungle pathing to deny her farm and scaling.
Leverage Wukong's stronger mid and late-game teamfight presence to secure Rift Herald and dragon after establishing tempo post-level 6.
