I max out first because it gives such an amazing burst with and and is better suited for this specific guide because I don't focus on getting AD items which is what scales with.

Crushing Blow VS Nimbus Strike.

Here is a skill comparison of each skill at each of its rank.

Level 1:
Nimbus Strike: 70 Damage+(0.8 per bonus attack damage), 3 seconds 20% attack speed buff, 8 second cooldown.
Crushing Blow: 30+Base attack damage, 3 seconds 30% armor debuff, 9 second cooldown.

Level 2:
Nimbus Strike: 115 Damage+(0.8 per bonus attack damage), 3 seconds 25% attack speed buff, 8 second cooldown.
Crushing Blow: 60+Base attack damage, 3 seconds 30% armor debuff, 8 second cooldown.

Level 3:
Nimbus Strike: 160 Damage+(0.8 per bonus attack damage), 3 seconds 30% attack speed buff, 8 second cooldown.
Crushing Blow: 90+Base attack damage, 3 seconds 30% armor debuff, 7 second cooldown.

Level 4:
Nimbus Strike: 205 Damage+(0.8 per bonus attack damage), 3 seconds 35% attack speed buff, 8 second cooldown.
Crushing Blow: 120+Base attack damage, 3 seconds 30% armor debuff, 6 second cooldown.

Level 5:
Nimbus Strike: 250 Damage+(0.8 per bonus attack damage), 3 seconds 40% attack speed buff, 8 second cooldown.
Crushing Blow: 150+Base attack damage, 3 seconds 30% armor debuff, 5 second cooldown.

There is a big big big big did I say big I mean big debate over which sill is better to max. If you look at the comparison of you see that with every rank it increases the damage by 40 damage than 45 than so on and you'll also note that it scales with your AD, another noticable thing is that attack speed buff gets stronger by 5% per each rank. With with each rank damage gets ranked up by 30 damage and cool down's are shortened by 1 second. So at rank 5 there is a 5 second cool down.

Now so why Crushing Blow over Nimbus Strike?

Good chasing tool for a melee character like Wukong
Nice damage
Attack speed increase
Multi target damage up to 3 units
Nice scale per rank

One of Wukongs longer cool down skills
Does not reduce cool down with each rank

Nice damage increase
Resets your auto attack
30% armor debuff
Each rank lowers its skill by 1 second
5 second cool down by rank 5
Allows you to destroys towers fast

Melee skill
Bugged animation

The only two cons of Crushing blow is that its a bugged skill and so is Wukong in general and it will generally be fixed making Crushing Blow 10x stronger than it is now.

Why over it has 2x the shorter cool down when ranked 5 than that of Nimbus strike no matter what rank Nimbus Strike is. Allowing you to hit them twice with that skill doing twice the damage of in 10 seconds. It reduces the enemies armor which is a no brainer and it also works well with Trinity Force's Proc.

don't get me wrong though Nimbus Strike is an amazing skill later game because by then you'll have about 200 AD to add onto the 250 base damage but at early stages you don't have that much AD to scale with this skill with this build because it focus's on being tanky and relying on Trinity Force/ Sheen's Proc's to deal lots of damage.

Why do some people still side with Nimbus Strike?

People will bring up with the fact that if the enemy is running you can hit them with but not with well no that isn't true because you can actually load up your before using so that when you hit them with your is already activated and you can just hit them with both skills. Another arguement is that gives you a very nice attack speed buff. Well I'm going to use your other point and say if they're running how are you going to be auto attacking with your new found speed if they're out of attack range? :D

Items

Items

ITEM SEQUENCE

Starting Item

The reason why I start off with these items is that it helps gives Wukong a pleasant time for when you are laning for the first 5 minutes in the game afterwards I teleport back to base and pick up a and a

Core Items

: Gives Wukong an amazing burst potential
: Gives Wukong plenty of health making you pretty tanky in team fights and helps fuel your atma's impaler
: Converts some of your HP into AD making your burst stronger.

Optional Items

Gives a balanced stats between magic resist and armor but the true use of this item is giving you a second life every 5 minutes.
Helpful against teams with lots of CC (Crowd Control)
Highest Magic resist you can get in the game and gives you a nice health regen that works well with your warmogs armor.
Another good item that can shred armor. A very good alternate to The Black Cleaver
Gives you a nice HP boost as well and a very nice active that slows the enemy champions.
Great item against melee auto attackers.

Teamfights

Teamfights

For your role in team fights is to initiate them with your then using to lift enemy champions up allowing your team to quickly burst them down afterwards you should be aiming for enemy champions that are squishy to easily secure victory in team fights.

Summary

is an extremely fun champion to play he is able to initiate team fights with easy and can survive enemy burst. If you have any comments, or questions on my guide please PM or leave a comment I don't bite unless your a troll.

Please remember to upvote if you liked the guide and only downvote if you feel that I have mislead you on how I play Wukong but if you do please inform me of why it made you feel that way and if I have made any grave mistakes with this guide.

Change Log

Removed Phantom Dancer and Black Cleaver from the optional item I personally believe wukong is a burst character not an auto attack character
