Guide to Synergizing Zilean and Wukong

Tips for Playing as Zilean with Wukong

Time Warp is an effective way to enable allies to finish off enemies, or escape from a losing battle.

Chronoshift is a powerful deterrent to attacking your carries, but casting Chronoshift too early in a fight can cause the enemy to switch targets too soon, making it less effective.

You can combine the use of Time Bomb and Rewind to place two Time Bombs on a target quickly. Placing the second bomb will detonate the first and stun all nearby enemies.

Advice to Understand How Wukong Will Play

Decoy and Nimbus Strike work well together to quickly strike your enemy and get out before they can retaliate.

Try using Decoy near brush to make an enemy overreact to your movement.

Overall, Zilean sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Wukong. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Wukong helps Zilean perform not as well in ranked League of Legends games. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Zilean plays on the same team as Wukong, he observes a little increase in his full damage dealt. This change could signal that Wukong helps provide protection for him to dish out more damage or that his presence also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Zilean is played together with Wukong on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Wukong. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Wukong.

Additionally, when Zilean plays with Wukong on the same side, he typically receives a little less damage than when he plays alone. Taking not as much damage could mean that Wukong does a decent job of covering Zilean during teamfights.

Is Zilean better when played alongside Wukong?

There is no one best synergy for Zilean that will always be his ideal synergy. However, Wukong is a very typical companion for Zilean. By playing on the same side as Zilean, he has no effect on their win rate by 0.0% to 50.7%. This signals that there is a weak bond between Zilean and Wukong that results in them performing at the same level together than alone.

Wukong has a much lower diffuclty than Zilean. That means you don't need to be very careful when finding Wukong allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to play well with you.

Working cooperatively, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to provide utility and CC for your side. Together, these champions should be able to manipulate the pace of team fights.

Conversely, by pairing Zilean and Wukong together, you may not be providing your other allies a lot of anti-tank damage dealing potential. Plan to include other champs on your team that offsets this relative disparity in this pairing's playstyle.

Regardless of your Wukong ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
