How it works

  1. You rush Thornmail.
  2. You go full Armor.
  3. Hit or miss. Works only if an enemy team is full of physical melee damage dealers. Otherwise, play regular tank build.

How to play

  1. How is this Thornmail build for Wukong different to regular tank builds? Item order, Armor stacking and countering enemy physical damage dealers!
  2. This build is aimed to counter AD comps. Since you don't know the enemy team, you need to adapt in game. It is hit or miss. If they are heavy AP - just play regular tank.
  3. Late game, you can consider selling boots for 6th item - for even more sweet Thornmail damage!
  4. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!
  5. You get extra spikey with stacks of Stone Skin (Passive), thanks to increased Armor.

Tips and Tricks

Riot
  1. Decoy and Nimbus Strike work well together to quickly strike your enemy and get out before they can retaliate.
  2. Try using Decoy near brush to make an enemy overreact to your movement.
