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.

Stone Skin

  • Now only stacks on epic monsters, instead of large monsters.
Patch 2.4bNerf

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.

Crushing Blow

  • Removed: 80% healing reduction modifier when attacking minions.
