Wukong vs Hecarim

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Wukong must manage tempo to reach level 6 and leverage (R) for impactful river and objective fights.
Prioritize pathing toward lanes with strong follow-up to maximize (R) engage potential and contest early objectives.

Jungle Plan

Full clear efficiently to hit level 6 and then look for river skirmishes where (R) can disrupt multiple enemies.
Use clone to bait Hecarim's engage tools before committing to fights or objective setups.
Prioritize dragon and Rift Herald control when lanes have priority, using (R) to initiate and force favorable teamfights.

Danger windows

Early game before level 6: avoid isolated river fights as Hecarim's speed and (E) charge can punish you.
Forced smite fights without lane priority increase risk; avoid contesting dragon or Herald without vision and teammate support.
Low-health clears or extended pathing without vision can lead to Hecarim counter-invades; maintain awareness and ward river entrances.

Early game

Start with a clear that balances health and speed to reach level 6 before Hecarim can snowball with fast clears.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support river fights and avoid isolated 1v1s.
Avoid early invades before level 6 unless you have vision and lane control, as Hecarim's mobility and speed make counter-invades risky.

Power spikes

Level 6: (R) provides a strong engage and teamfight disruption tool; use it to force fights around objectives.
First completed bruiser item: increases dueling power allowing you to contest Hecarim in skirmishes and objective fights.
Mid-game scaling: your teamfight presence with (R) becomes crucial to controlling river and securing objectives.

Win conditions

Reach level 6 efficiently and use (R) to turn river skirmishes into objective control around dragon and Rift Herald.
Use clone deception to bait Hecarim's engage and create windows for your team to collapse.
Deny Hecarim free farm by tracking his pathing and counter-jungling when lanes have priority, limiting his mid-game power spike potential.
