How to win the jungle race as Wukong against Naafiri · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Wukong's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Naafiri.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Wukong Favoured | Crushing Blow plus double-Q armor shred wins the opening exchange. The margin is thin: packmates plus the Darkin Daggers bleed win the level-1 numbers game, and one slow camp on your side hands the window straight back, so keep the trade short. Clear the packmates first — her damage collapses once the hounds are down. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Wukong Favoured | The Warrior Trickster clone baits their cooldowns and wins the re-engage. The Hounds' Pursuit dash trade chunks anyone contesting their second buff, so this is an edge and not a blowout — take the level-2 skirmish only with the HP and cooldown lead. |
| Level 3 Route | Wukong Favoured | Clone plus Nimbus Strike means you control when the fight starts and ends, but the full pack with W dash and Q reset bleed is a real early kill threat. You still win the straight exchange at the opening scuttle; keep it short, keep it decisive, and keep the scuttle line yours. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Wukong Favoured — Take Duels | The 4-5 window is yours if you pick it: she roams 4-5 with the pack up, hunting lanes with a slow so the W dash cannot be walked out of. Track that pattern, arrive one camp early, and take the fight before the follow-up shows. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Cyclone Favoured | Double-cast Cyclone knock-ups chain into extended fights nobody out-trades. The empowered pack dive shields her engage and swarms your counter-trade — respect that one window, but the six-spike comparison favors you: take the post-6 duel whenever HP bars start even. |
| 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. Naafiri's first item is where the dagger bleed plus the pack becomes a full health bar rather than a heavy trade. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Wukong Favoured at Full Build | Two items on, the edge is yours. The one thing to plan around is that she picks one target and the pack removes it before your team can turn — take that away and the fight is a formality. |
Start your clear at the Raptors or Red Buff camp utilizing your E attack speed to maximize early clear speed. Naafiri clears fast because the packmates fight the camp with her, and she reaches three with the pack still up.
