Honor of Kings/Sun Wukong

Sun Wukong

Assassin

The trickster Monkey King, who fakes out enemies with a clone before landing a devastating combo.

Strengths

  • Invisibility-with-clone ability baits out enemy cooldowns before he commits.
  • Extending staff closes distance and resets on kill for chain assassinations.
  • Ultimate briefly grants tenacity and bonus damage, hard to lock down mid-combo.

Abilities

  • Passive · Great Sage's Might — After casting a skill, his next basic attack becomes an empowered strike that dashes to the target for bonus physical damage that can fully crit. He has innate 20% crit chance, but reduced crit damage until stacked up.
  • 1 · Protective Charm — Chants a charm that blocks the next enemy skill for up to 1.5 seconds; if it blocks one, he gains brief invincibility and a shield, plus 40% move speed for 1 second.
  • 2 · Fighting Charge — Charges in a direction, bouncing off the first unit hit for extra distance; deals true damage to monsters along the way and executes low-HP jungle monsters outright.
  • Ultimate · Ruyi Golden Cudgel — Slams his giant staff into the ground for physical damage and a stun in the area, marking enemies hit; his basic attacks consume a mark for bonus physical damage.

Recommended Build

Build 1: Pursuit Edge → Boots of Haste → Endless Blade → Grandmaster's Might → Star-Shattering Hammer → Champion's Warplate

Tip: Wukong wants some attack speed to fire off his empowered basics faster; Endless Blade's crit stats fuel his burst, and Star-Shattering Hammer's execute effect fits his assassin kit perfectly.

Build 2: Pursuit Edge → Boots of Haste → Endless Blade → Lightning Dagger → Star-Shattering Hammer → Famed Blade · Siming

Tip: Wukong draws focus fire the moment he shows up, and Famed Blade · Siming's passive buys him rare extra time to deal damage.

Recommended Inscriptions

Inscriptions: Unrivaled, Hawkeye, Beastmark

Tip: Wukong's passive already grants innate crit chance — Unrivaled and Beastmark add 13% more, pushing his base crit chance to 33% and, with Unrivaled's bonus, his crit damage to 186% for much higher output. Hawkeye's armor penetration adds even more damage.

Hero Relationships

Best with: Mozi, Wang Zhaojun Counters: Daji, Marco Polo Countered by: Mi Yue, Xiang Yu

Team Composition

A suggested 5-lane lineup built around Sun Wukong, based on hero partnerships and role synergy — not win rate.
