Wukong Item Builds

Arena of Valor Wukong

Item Builds List

Core Items

These items are necessary in order to play Wukong optimally. Only diverge from a core item if you are a very experienced player or you have a very good reason for doing so

Arena of Valor Claves Sancti
Claves Sancti
Wukong relies heavily on critical strikes for damage, so Claves Sancti is a must. Not only does the item provide valuable attack damage and critical chance, it additonally raises the damage done with each critical hit.
Arena of Valor Slikk's Sting
Slikk’s Sting
Another item that raises critical chance, Slikk’s Sting can give the monkey king a bit of additional survivability. It grants the wielder the valuable resistance stat whenever they critically strike an enemy, allowing them to more easily slip out of enemy control effects. Beyond this, the item offers critical chance, attack speed, and movement speed, making it a great item when it comes to amping up Wukong’s damage output as well.
soulreaver
Soulreaver
Soulreaver is the best option for Wukong since he needs attack damage more than anything the other jungling items provide. The cooldown reduction it offers will additionally allow him to move around more quickly with his abilities and empower his attacks more regularly.

Optional Items

Offensive Items Options

Arena of Valor Fenrir's Tooth
Fenrir’s Tooth
A great item for assassins, Fenrir’s Tooth amplifies the wielder’s damage output when attacking low health targets. While WuKong can already eviserate squishy heroes, Fenrir’s Tooth will help him finish off tankier foes before they are able to escape.
Arena of Valor Omni Arms
Omni Arms
Omni arms is another great offensive item that meshes well with Wukong’s kit. The added damage the item provides stacks with how Wukong’s passive, leading to the monkey king being able to unleash devastating destruction when he strikes.
Arena of Valor Muramasa
Muramasa
 Muramasa allows Wukong to bash through enemies without regard to their armor. As it ignores a percentage of the target’s armor rather than a flat amount, the item is far more useful when attacking foes with large amounts of armor rather than squishier foes.

Defensive Items Options

Arena of Valor Leviathan
Leviathan
Leviathan can be a substitute for Soulreaver if confident your your damage and wanting a bit more sustained damage in fights. The health and armor it provides will go a long way in staving off enemy fire.
Arena of Valor Ancestral Glory
Ancestral Glory
Wukong is exceptionally squishy and thereby can be quickly killed late game. Ancestral Glory will pick up Wukong after he is killed, giving some additional time to either fight or escape from team fights.

Boots Upgrade

Arena or Valor Hermes' Select
Hermes’ Select
 Hermes’ Select allows Wukong to roam the map much more quickly, providing additional speed while outside of battle. A great jungle boots upgrade when looking to gank the lanes quickly and efficiently.
Arena of Valor Gilded Greaves
Gilded Greaves
 Gilded Greaves will help Wukong escape from stuns and disables, adding to his overall slipperiness. This is a great choice when dealing with an enemy team that is rather heavy on control effects..

Sample Item Builds

This build focuses on Wukong’s main strength: beating people to death with his monkey stick. The build gives his a comfortable 65% critical chance (including his passive.) While more is certainly possible, it would detract too much from his attack damage (Devil’s Handshake) or not add anything but stats to his kit (Bow of Slaughter.) He will have a very high attack power through Soulreaver and Fenrir’s Tooth, ensuring that those critical strikes have some actual weight behind them. Omni Arms furthers Wukong’s explosive burst by stacking its own damage atop his modified strikes. Feel free to substitute in Muramasa if the enemy is heavily stacking armor.

This build eases off the gas when it comes to offense, giving the monkey king a bit more durability. Frost Cape and Ancestral Glory will keep Wukong up longer in fights and allow for a few riskier moves in team fights. His burst won’t be quite as impressive, but he will be far more able to deal sustained damage in fights.

Given how well he does with the same few items, we had to get rather theoretical for the lane build. Wukong’s abilities give him a great deal of mobility and can thereby give him a lot of control over a lane. In addition, Wukong still maintains a heavy ganking strength, able to quickly move from his lane to help an adjacent lane. Despite trading off Soulreaver, the monkey king will still have a impressive amount of burst damage with the provided suite of offensive items. He is even able to take both Omni Arms and Muramasa simultaneously, making him even more effective against more durable foes.
