Why this duo works

Zilean's Time Warp(E) can speed Wukong into a flank, where Warrior Trickster(W) sets up Cyclone(R) against several targets; Zilean can then chain his double-bomb stun and protect Wukong with Chronoshift(R). A Zilean guide calls out this exact engage, which fits the duo's +3.1pp high-elo result.

Measured in High Elo: this duo wins 1.3pp more often than expected over 1,035 games.

Playing the duo

Time Warp(E) increases Wukong's movement speed for a stealth flank into a multi-target Cyclone(R), while Chronoshift(R) can revive him if the engage draws a lethal response.

How to play as Wukong

Take Time Warp(E) before using Warrior Trickster(W) to flank, then aim Cyclone(R) at a grouped team so Zilean can follow with his double-bomb stun.

How to play as Zilean

Speed Wukong with Time Warp(E) as he starts his flank, follow his Cyclone(R) with Time Bomb(Q) and Rewind(W), and hold Chronoshift(R) for the retaliation on his dive.
