Wukong vs Kindred

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Wukong must focus on reaching level 6 efficiently to leverage his strong engage and teamfight impact against Kindred's ranged skirmishing.
Prioritize controlling river vision and objective areas to limit Kindred's mark access and reduce her scaling potential.

Jungle Plan

Full clear efficiently toward level 6 while pathing through lanes with strong follow-up to maximize (R) engage impact.
Contest first Scuttle only if your lanes can move first to secure river control and deny Kindred marks.
Use clone deception to bait Kindred's cooldowns, then force fights around dragon or Rift Herald setups where your disruption is strongest.

Danger windows

Be cautious contesting river marks early if nearby lanes lack priority; Kindred's ranged poke and mobility can punish isolated fights.
Avoid low-health jungle clears where Kindred can force smite fights with her execute (E) and reset (R).
Respect Kindred's ability to kite and reset fights around objectives; don't overcommit without vision and lane backup.

Early game

Start with a clear path that balances safe farming and early level 3 or 4 power to contest Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid early invades unless you have clear lane priority or numbers advantage to punish Kindred's medium invade resistance.
Use your clone to bait Kindred's (Q) mobility before committing to river fights or counterjungling attempts.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks your (R) knockup, enabling strong river engages and objective fights; use this to force favorable skirmishes.
Completing your first core bruiser item increases dueling power, allowing you to challenge Kindred in isolated fights.
Kindred's scaling with marks and (R) makes late-game objective control harder; prioritize early tempo to deny her marks.

Win conditions

Convert level 6 engages into dragon and Rift Herald control by coordinating with lanes that can follow your (R) knockup.
Use clone to bait cooldowns and create picks or force Kindred off marks, denying her scaling marks and objective pressure.
Maintain tempo by counter-jungling when Kindred is forced to reset or farm safely, leveraging your dueling and disruption to snowball leads.
