Sun Wukong

How to play Sun Wukong

Sun Wukong is a melee warrior from the Chinese pantheon who deals physical damage. Top players play Sun Wukong in the Solo lane.

In your kit, 72 Transformations (dash transform; knock-up / stun / fast) is your way in and out of fights. 72 Transformations (dash transform; knock-up / stun / fast) is your main crowd control. The Magic Cudgel (line damage) and Master's Will (spin damage slow) add damage and pressure. Your ultimate is Somersault Cloud (immune, heal), on a long cooldown (about 110s at rank 1), so save it for fights that matter. Your passive is Undefeated Body: low health buffs, spawns clone.

Community guides level The Magic Cudgel, Master's Will and The Magic Cudgel first. Max The Magic Cudgel first, then Master's Will, then 72 Transformations.

You are a front line fighter who deals damage and takes it. Walk into the fight first, start it with your crowd control, and stay on the enemy your team is focusing. Somersault Cloud keeps you in the fight longer than they expect. In the solo lane you will often fight one on one, so attack when their key ability is on cooldown.

Start with Bluestone Brooch, then buy Devourer's Gauntlet. Buy it early so it finishes stacking. Your core is Sanguine Lash and Shifter's Shield, and you finish with Brawler's Ruin, Kinetic Cuirass and Freya's Tears. A good relic is Blink Rune. If the enemy team heals a lot or you keep dying, open the full tool and enter the enemy gods for the exact swaps.

If you own Aspect of Transformation, it reworks The Magic Cudgel (line damage), Master's Will (spin damage slow) and 72 Transformations (dash transform; buff on selection). It changes what to build, so turn on Aspect in the tool when you play it.

Top players win most often against Chaac, Kali and Kuzenbo, and struggle against Odin, Awilix or Gilgamesh. Against those, play safer and consider a defensive item earlier.
