How to play as Wukong

Use Crushing Blow(Q) poke to keep Garen's Perseverance(P) from restarting, then take short trades; Wukong players describe out-poking him as the reliable lane pattern.

Wait until Garen spends Courage(W) before committing Cyclone(R) to an all-in, since its shield and damage reduction blunt the burst.

Garen's Perseverance(P) starts regenerating health after he avoids damage, and Wukong's extended-range Crushing Blow(Q) can interrupt that recovery from outside Garen's basic-attack range.
