EPTHe trashes bads almost as efficiently as Pantheon and dunks on casters and other champs for whom it's awkward to itemize early armor though.

 there are ways around every flaw listed, check the wukong thread for some potentially underused item builds i came up with to deal with his poor defenses | ||

Press R, Press Q, leap, press Q, press Q for wtf levels of damage. It's important to get the order right though, if you Q before you press R you'll lose the extra empowered Q. Q buff lasts 5 seconds which is enough time to get repowered but is shorter than ult duration so you can't waste much time and IDK if you could still circumvent a ward with it. edit: to be clear it doesn't work as Tele describes as the ultimate only generates enough ferocity for 1 full bar. But if you have 1 full bar before you ult you can immediately Q and then get another full bar from the ult generation. | ||

His ult has a ridic ap scale as well.Wukong is kinda meh imo,he looses to a lot of stuff top lane and unless he gets fed he's pretty hit and miss.You just exhaust wukong and watch how the poor monkey spins in place doing absolutely jack. This is the main thing with Malphite, it's a bit of different train of thought to Wukong. Whereas Malphite and Wukong can kill the carry or group of people, Malphite brings more utility in the attack speed slow to allow his allies to mop up. Wukong has a binary goal in just killing and certainly there are better champions out there that can do that e.g. Darius who also have stronger top lane match-ups. Wukong is good, but currently he's not the most ideal at the role. | ||

Of course it is very situational because you have to plan around an attack during a small window of time 5 seconds in the future, but if you pull that off, if my math is correct, you can do: 2*EmpQ = 260 + 5AD Q= 130 + 1 AD W= 255m E= 240+0.7bonusAD =630+255m+6AD + 0.7bonusAD+ whatever AAs you are able to do. burst at level 18 pretty quickly, and out of stealth while leaping in on the enemy. That sounds like it would oneshot pretty much any carry if you have even small amounts of AD. | ||

It's the only way to bring everything in line. Nidalee ult true damage and refresh on kill gogo. As for wukong, I think he's a decent champion and I think if someone (not me) were good enough to use his clone correctly he could do well in a lot of lanes, but otherwise he just gets bullied too much. | ||

He loses to pretty much any top laner with a combination of better sustained damage, sticking power, and sustain. Can't kill anybody who buys some armor and benefits from sustain. Also hard to use his best combo (aa->Q->aa->E->aa until the debuffs end) because it's very easy to disengage from it or deny Wu a lot of aa. He trashes bads almost as efficiently as Pantheon and dunks on casters and other champs for whom it's awkward to itemize early armor though. Technically Wukong should do fine against targets with armor if he uses APen Marks/Quints. The key thing to remember is that % Reduction is applied before Flat Penetration. If Wukong's opponent comes to lane with Cloth Armor, Armor Seals, and defensive masteries it's as if they only have 8-10 armor. The problem is this only applies if you can Q before E. Wukong's other issue is that he lacks sustain while also having low base health regen and armor. Mogwai's probably the best person to speak to why Wukong isn't popular/a good pick, but those are the things I've picked up on while trying to learn top lane.

Double Empowered Q + Q with it maxed is 390 + 6.0 * AD in damage. You only need 200 total AD to hit that threshold, which is basically Necklace + Any other AD item. With Necklace + BT + LW Rengar could easily do 1600 damage to an AD carry even with armor accounted for, and that's without accounting for W, E, or the crazy 150% attack speed follow up. | ||

I thought that we recently discovered that % reduction was actually applied after flat pen. When was the last time we tested this? | ||

That being said, I'd much rather have a well farmed Wukong than Malphite or Darius, because the monkey is just ridiculous after a point. | ||

That's what I meant with his "best combo", since unless you can mindgame with Decoy (and it's going to take longer than using spells on cooldown, while denting into your mana and making you give openings when you setup the "fakes" (pressing S)), hitting Q first is only the odd case, making armor stacking more effective than it'd seem. | ||
