Wukong vs Talon

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Wukong should focus on reaching level 6 first to leverage his (R) for impactful river fights and team skirmishes.
Avoid early invades before ultimate as Talon's burst and mobility punish isolated or tracked attempts.
Prioritize farming and pathing toward lanes with strong follow-up to maximize (R) engage value.

Jungle Plan

Clear camps efficiently toward level 6, then focus on river fights where (R) can disrupt multiple enemies.
Fight for Scuttle and dragon control only when your lanes have priority to back your presence.
Track Talon's early pathing to counter-gank his roams and punish his limited early jungle pressure.

Danger windows

Beware Talon's level 2 all-in window with (Q)+(W); avoid extended fights before your ultimate.
Isolated river fights without vision or lane priority are risky due to Talon's mobility and burst.
Forced smite fights at dragon or Herald without lane control or vision put you at a disadvantage against Talon's roam threat.

Early game

Execute a clean first clear to hit level 6 quickly and avoid risky early invades.
Contest first Scuttle Crab only if nearby lanes have priority to ensure safe river control.
Avoid fighting Talon pre-6 as his (Q)+(W) level 2 combo can punish extended trades.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlock is key; use (R) cyclone to turn skirmishes and secure objectives with team follow-up.
Respect Talon's level 2 (Q)+(W) combo by avoiding early fights before your own level 6 engage.
After first bruiser item, increase pressure on objectives and skirmishes where your sustained damage outlasts Talon's burst.

Win conditions

Convert level 6 engage into secured dragon and Rift Herald by controlling river vision and coordinating with lanes.
Use your clone and (R) to bait cooldowns and create numbers advantage in river skirmishes.
Deny Talon's scaling by counter-jungling when lanes have priority, snowballing through objective control and teamfight disruption.
