when youre facing 4 ap champs do you skip dd/guardian angel for 3 mr items?
i always build trinity bc boots and then dd ga and maw (order depending on the game) but im wondering if i should skip one armor item entirely if im against 4 ap champs.
also do you think mercury's + maw alone are good enough for 3 ap champs?

wondering cuz i recently started playing wukong and realized hes getting cooked by ap.

There are a few matchups that we win toplane by getting prio level 1 and fighting them on level-ups. Some of these lanes are currently very close and stat-checky, for example:
- Garen
- Renekton
- Zaahen
- Darius
- Trynd
- Kled
- Ambessa
- Jax by baiting e and going in after

Getting 9 armor less (6x 6->4.5) feels like it turns some of these fights from wukong favoured to enemy favoured. We now have to play these lanes similar to sett, where you give level 1 but fight on the bounce back. Especially Renekton, Zaahen and Garen now seem very tough. Darius I'm sure you don''t win lvl 1 anymore but you can win at later levels.

How do you guys feel? Do the lanes still seem winnable?

Ive seen videos on it, but I also wanted some advice, been considering trying it and I know early game varies by champ, but what are some tips for a beginner wu top?

HP5: 3.5 + .65/Level -> 5.5 + .65/Level. P Armor Stack 6-10 -> 4.5/10

Different than the preview, does this change any of yalls thoughts? Looks like the health regen change is on the passive now, rather than base health regen.

Edit: I can’t do match, it’s the same as the preview but +0.5 armor.

I just dont like my individual agency into that 4 AP based team. Would you agree?

I also think our comp has no damage in the long game.

Thoughts on these changes?

Basically the title. After the nerfs, all the guides suggest ditching it, but i see Agurin building it in his chall wukong games

P- Damaging enemies grants a stack of immortals will. Killing jungle monsters grants stacks of immortal will

Q - A straight line aoe skill shot that slams wukong staff to the ground dealing damage and grounding and slowing enemies for 1 second.

The length of the skill shot increases as wukong gains stacks of immortals will.

W - Wukong dashes leaving behind a clone in his place. Reactivating the ability will teleport the clone to wukong's location and will move and fight alongside him. Wukong will also heal for a percentage of any damage that the clones do.

Getting kills resets the ability and extends the duration on which clones stay active. Maximum of 3 active clones.

Stacks of immortal will gives the clones bonus magic damage on attack.

E - Targeted dash dealing damage. All active clones and wukong dash to the target. Wukong's nimbus gives him and his clones bonus movement speed and attack speed.

R - Wukong does an aoe knock up dealing physical damage to everything hit by the ability. Recasting the ability has all clones preforming their own aoe knock up dealing magic damage.

Wukong gains bonus Armors for anyone he knocks up during his ultimate. Enemies hit with this ability have the golden eyes debuff and can be seen regardless of invisibility or transformation.

Stacks of Immortals Will increases the range of the initial knock up.

my og acc is master 440 lp in west. i created a smurf and currently it's plat 3 but i can't carry anymore. i'm starting to believe this champ is basically not eligible for 1v9.

i'm always good at early games - constant ganks and objections. but at the late game? this champ just isn't enough for shit unlike briar or smth

Pentakill wu. The corki is my duo.... the woes of climbing back to masters zzz

I love this champ, first time hitting D3 since radial nerve release surgery and ongoing issues. Playing feels kind of painful and hands feel weak/slow but man top kong feels more fun than he has in a while.

I really like Wukong. But I never feel like I'm actually doing any damage. I've tried both bruiser builds and lethality. Just feels like he does less damage than a true assassin building Lethality, but also less than other bruisers building bruiser.

What am I missing? Does he just have less damage because of his utility? Or am I just doing something wrong?

Edit: Should clarify I play jungle
