Wukong vs Kayn

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Wukong should focus on reaching level 6 efficiently to leverage strong teamfight engage with (R) cyclone knockup.
Avoid early risky invades against Kayn, who prioritizes safe form progression and fast clear over early fights.

Jungle Plan

Full clear efficiently and path toward lanes with strong follow-up for (R) engage to maximize gank threat.
Fight for Scuttle Crab only when your laners can assist or when Kayn is nearby farming and vulnerable.
Use clone to bait Kayn's escape or engage cooldowns before committing to river skirmishes or counter-jungling.

Danger windows

Be cautious around Kayn's early clear speed and wall path mobility, which can lead to unexpected ganks or counter-invades.
Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 where Kayn's mobility and knockup (W) can punish you.
Respect forced smite fights early; Kayn can escape or reposition through terrain, making contested objectives risky without lane support.

Early game

Prioritize a smooth first clear to hit level 6 before Kayn completes his form transformation.
Contest first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to secure river control and vision.
Avoid early direct fights unless you have lane priority or can bait Kayn's cooldowns with your clone.

Power spikes

Level 6 is your major spike; (R) enables impactful multi-target knockups for teamfights and skirmishes.
Kayn's transformation power spike comes after form completion; pressure him before this point to delay his scaling.
Your dueling strength peaks post-level 6 with clone deception and sustained damage; look for skirmishes then.

Win conditions

Convert level 6 engage advantage into river control and objective setups like dragon and Rift Herald.
Use clone to bait key cooldowns and create picks or force Kayn off camps to deny his form progress.
Coordinate with lanes that have priority to maximize (R) impact in teamfights and secure scaling denial on Kayn.
