Wukong

Wukong has struggled to sustain after taking a solo fight during the laning phase. Additionally, his high mana costs have limited his ability to consistently trade with his foes. To help him out, we've improved his sustain and reduced his mana costs. Now, he no longer needs Manaflow Band to compensate for his early-game insufficient mana problems.

We’re improving Wukong’s survivability so he can last till the end of his journey!

Wukong hasn’t been able to clear Jungle camps as fast as other Junglers, resulting in him lagging behind. These changes will make sure he’s able to keep up the pace so he can better help out his lanes as well.

Wukong’s new updates not only brought new abilities but also new text to describe them. However, these texts were a little lengthy so we’ve reworded the descriptions to clean it up!

The Monkey King is getting his highly anticipated rework this patch! Now he should be able to survive longer in teamfights, deal more damage, and have more room for outplays.

We’re making some adjustments to increase Wukong’s damage, sustainability, and flexibility so that he can take more fights comfortably.

Wukong has been underperforming for some time, so we’re amping up the damage his passive grants him and increasing the healing he gains from hitting enemy champions with Golden Staff.

We previously allowed Wukong to use Warrior Trickster to dash over walls, because the range of this dash in comparison to the size of the walls in Wild Rift made it difficult to use at most angles and walls. We’re making this dash over walls more forgiving to enable more use of this mechanic.

We’re bringing a change over that has been very popular on League PC for this Monkey King, and we hope he can use this new feature to trick his enemies on the battlefield even more.

Compared to the other fighters in the Baron Lane, Wukong has been struggling to keep up. To bring the Monkey King’s power level closer to his fellow fighters, we’re improving his overall dueling potential while also giving Cyclone a quality of life update.

Wukong is clearing the jungle too quickly, so we are removing his ability to amplify his damage against large monsters for his clear. Note: The tooltip incorrectly stated that this passive could stack against any unit, while it only stacked on champions and large monsters.

Despite being a formidable jungler, Wukong is still struggling to find his place in the Baron lane. We’re removing the healing reduction modifier from (1) Crushing Blow when he uses the skill against minions. This way, the Monkey King can better sustain himself during the laning phase.

Wukong is still struggling to maintain his presence outside the jungle. We’re increasing his ability to stay healthy in hopes that the Monkey King will be able to rightfully reign his lane.

Wukong was monkeying around too much and underperforming in lane. We are giving him some more laning power to encourage him to play outside the comfort of his jungle. Also, we are adding a refund mechanic to his Golden Staff (1) so the Monkey King needs to stick on targets longer instead of aim to blow them up instantly.

Wukong’s jungle is very strong. We’re nerfing his clear speed and his element of surprise.
