Historical versus modern

Ability names differ between historical 3.15.5 and modern 16.14.1 (Decoy); values and mechanics still require Classic launch-client verification.

Wukong, the Monkey King, is documented here from Riot's 3.15.5 historical snapshot. The Top / Jungle labels are an editorial navigation taxonomy, not launch-patch usage statistics.

Three-layer build system

Wukong build evidence

Only layers with qualifying evidence are shown. Creator-tested and launch-verified layers are absent until their evidence gates pass.

Frequently Asked Questions

01Is Wukong officially confirmed in the complete League Classic roster?

Riot confirms a 60-champion launch composition, but the complete name list used here is a community-datamined League Wiki observation. Wukong's individual roster slot is therefore labelled community-datamined until Riot publishes or the launch client verifies it.

02Are Wukong's ability values launch verified?

No. The displayed historical references come from Riot Data Dragon 3.15.5; observed and launch-verified value fields remain null.

03Is this the best Wukong Classic build?

No. It is a Riot-authored historical item direction with no win-rate, Tier or launch-match sample claim.
