How to win the jungle race as Wukong against Diana · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Wukong's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Diana.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Wukong Favoured | Crushing Blow plus double-Q armor shred wins the opening exchange. Diana can make it awkward — a landed Crescent Strike into the dash-shield combo trades very hard at three — but not before either of you has a second camp down. Trade, then walk away with a camp and a chunk of their health bar. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Wukong Favoured | The Warrior Trickster clone baits their cooldowns and wins the re-engage. The margin is thin: Pale Cascade shield trades let them skirmish evenly with most kits, and one slow camp on your side hands the window straight back, so keep the trade short. Punish her before level 3 — the kit is incomplete and her dash needs the Q mark. |
| Level 3 Route | Wukong Favoured | Clone plus Nimbus Strike means you control when the fight starts and ends. The Q-dash-W full combo comes online, so this is an edge and not a blowout — take the level-3 river fight only with the HP and cooldown lead. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Even — Farm & Track | Even through 4-5. She is farming toward six through 4-5 — Pale Cascade keeps the clear safe and the kill threat is not real yet, so mirror it: farm the same tempo, ward the same crossings, and take the fight only with numbers. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Respect Diana's R | Diana wins the breakpoint outright — Moonfall's vacuum pull plus the dash-reset combo one-rotations squishier junglers, and the Q-dash-Moonfall rotation deletes you from full health if the orb lands. Everything keys off Crescent Strike — sidestep the orb and the combo stalls, then trade objectives cross-map until your items land. |
| First Item Spike | Sundered Sky Spike | Completing your core item triggers a massive physical damage and sustained fighting multiplier that completely overpowers traditional brawlers or isolated targets. Diana's first item turns the Q-dash-Moonfall rotation from a chunk into a kill on anything without an escape. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Danger — Diana Outscales | You lose the long game outright: she one-rotations a squishy target and gets a second one free off the Moonfall pull, and no build path of yours answers that. Convert every early lead into an objective immediately. |
Start your clear at the Raptors or Red Buff camp utilizing your E attack speed to maximize early clear speed. Diana clears fast with Moonsilver Blade resets and Pale Cascade shields, and she leaves camps at close to full health.
