Best Arcana build and Spells for Wukong in Honor of Kings
Arcana Build
In this guide, we will talk about the Arcana build for Wukong in Honor of Kings.
Reaver, Stealth, Eagle Eye, and Calamity
Stealth increases the Physical Attack of Wukong, helping him to finish off enemies or monsters easily throughout the whole game. Reaver provides Wukong with life steal which can be invaluable for Junglers while fighting against monsters and enemies simultaneously during the early stages of the game.
Eagle Eye, on the other hand, is a must-have for all the Junglers due to their heavy role in engaging in physical fights continuously throughout the game. It increases the Physical Attack and Physical Pierce stats of the heroes making them more effective. Calamity gives a Critical Rate boost to Wukong, allowing him to deal with a crit while fighting enemies in the jungle.
Battle Spells
As a Jungler, Wukong would be most effective with Smite spell equipped to the build during the matches. This spell is by default given to all the junglers and helps them significantly in handling the jungle single-handedly.
Best Builds for Wukong in Honor of Kings
Here is a recommended build for making Wukong the most effective on the battlefield. However, keep in mind that these builds are completely subjective to the players playing style. Everyone can tweak these builds and make their build according to their playstyle.
- Rapacious Bite: Rapacious Bite offers +60 Physical Attacks and +8 Movement Speed to the heroes. It is a jungle-only item that requires Smite to purchase. Within the first 10 mins, this item reduces damage to minions by 25%. It has two passives:

- Starspring: Starspring is a Roaming equipment that offers the heroes +1200 Max Health and +8% Movement Speed. This equipment comes in handy in the later stages of the game. However, considering the fact that Wukong is a Jungler, you can exchange this equipment for another item that you like.
- Boots of Dexterity: This boot is most commonly referred to as the attack speed boot. It provides the player with the same boost to mobility speed (60) that all other boots do, but it also has an additional 25% bonus to attack speed.

Honor of Kings Wukong Gameplay Tips
Wukong is an easy-to-learn hero in Honor of Kings. He is also one of the strongest Junglers in Honor of Kings. His skills and the perfect build make him strong against most other heroes who play in the Jungle area. Wukong can quickly take down enemies and monsters and farm EXP throughout the game to become one of the strongest in the later phase of the matches.
Our Honor of Kings Wukong guide includes the perfect game plan for the early, mid, and late games of the game. However, a player must have a good understanding of the map to get the most out of any hero.
Early Game
During the early stage of the game, Wukong should solely focus on clearing out jungle camps. Clearing these monsters will provide him with certain buffs which can help Wukong upgrade faster throughout the game and become stronger with time.
In this stage, you should avoid going head-to-head with enemy heroes. Focus on clearing the jungle more than clearing out waves of enemies. If enemies attack you, get a bit back and hold them off by dealing a minimum amount of damage.
Mid Game
This stage is the most important part of the game for Wukong. During the mid-game, Wukong focuses on upgrading his levels faster to get stronger by upgrading his skills. This will make him clear out jungles more effectively, and also roam around lanes to help teammates who need help.
Wukong will keep clearing the jungle and consequently also keep clearing out the wave of enemies coming at his teammates. By this time, enemies are most likely to get stronger by upgrading their levels and equipment. Wukong will be needed more to participate in the team fights to maintain control over the battlefield.
Late Game
In this stage, Wukong works more with the team to attack enemies rather than clear the jungle. However, his help is needed the most while slaying big monsters during this stage. Other than that, Wukong solely focuses on protecting his teammates.
Wukong can be found in his strongest form during the later stage of the game. He can slay an enemy within his range with just a few skill combos being used. Using Wukong in the best possible way will bring out the game’s victory for your team during this stage.
Final Thoughts
Wukong is a very easy hero to learn and master. Players will get the taste of real jungling and ganking if Wukong is used properly. However, players need to give ample amount of time to this hero to master it completely. Keep grinding with Wukong to get accustomed to every situation that you might face during the battles.
Wukong can also be used effectively to provide support to teammates whenever they are in need. Play more with the hero, and build knowledge and game sense to effectively carry out the role during the in-game situations.
