Zyra vs Wukong

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Prioritize vision and brush control around river for early jungle tempo and safety.
Use plants and root to punish Wukong's predictable gank paths and delay his level 6 power spike.
Focus on objective setup with lanes that can follow your root and ultimate knockup for teamfights.

Jungle Plan

Path for efficient clears to hit level 6 before Wukong and secure Scuttle crab with lane priority.
Contest river Scuttle only when your lanes can capitalize on your root and ultimate follow-up.
Prioritize vision and plant zones around dragon and Herald to deny Wukong safe objective control.

Danger windows

Respect Wukong's level 6 (R) knockup for river fights and objective setups; avoid isolated skirmishes.
Beware of Wukong's (E) dash to close gaps quickly, especially when you miss your root.
Avoid low-health jungle clears near enemy territory where Wukong can counter-invade with clone deception.

Early game

Start full clear to reach level 3 quickly and contest first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid early river fights unless your lanes can follow root and Wukong's (E) is down.
Use brush control near jungle entrances to spot Wukong's approach and prevent counter-invades.

Power spikes

Level 2: Use (E) root plus plants to punish Wukong's early gank attempts before his engage is online.
Level 3: Full kit unlocks stronger plant control; punish Wukong after his (E) dash cooldown.
Level 6: Your (R) knockup can turn Wukong's engage into a losing fight if timed with ADC follow-up.

Win conditions

Convert brush and river control into safe objective takes and deny Wukong's access to dragon and Herald.
Use root and plants to set up kills or force Wukong off camps, slowing his scaling.
Leverage your ultimate's zone control in teamfights to disrupt Wukong's engage and secure kills for your team.
