Best comps for Wukong
3) DEFEND JAX
Synergies:
- 5 Mecha: Prim
- 4 Brawler
- 3 Aegis
- 3 Defender
- 1 Ace
The ideal strategy for this competition is to gradually reroll up to level 8, with Jax, Wukong, and Draven all at that level. You can only succeed by doing this.
Jax is the focus of this match because he is the Prime Selected and because both his Mecha-Prime and Brawler skills are being utilised.
Best group to create this:
1-Jax will be your primary source of damage. He will have a lot more health after eating Wukong and Draven, and his Brawler trait will also be activated.
2-Jax will receive all of Wukong's health and defence skills.
3-Draven will sacrifice all of his remaining life power to save Jax.
4-Due to her Brawler trait and her use of her skills as a shield, Riven is one of the most potent bruisers in the game. She will also pass on her ability as a Defender.
5-Sejuani is a powerful front-line tank who can both take a lot of damage and stun a sizable number of adversaries, which is quite helpful to your squad.
6-Sett, who boasts both the Mecha Prime and the Defender qualities, being up front is very advantageous.
7-Vi is a powerful member of the front line since she is a brawler.
8-Aegis and Mecha: Prime have made Leona a potent tank and damage dealer.
2) JAX IN ACTION
Synergies:
- 5 Mecha: Prim
- 2 Brawler
- 2 Aegis
- 4 Defender
- 1 Ace
Keep rerolling until you reach level 8, with Jax, Wukong, and Draven all at level 3, if you want to win this game.
This fight is primarily about Jax because he is the Prime Selected and because his Brawler and Mecha-Prime abilities are effective.
The ideal team is:
1-After eating Wukong and Draven, gaining a lot of health, and acquiring the Brawler trait, Jax will deal the majority of your damage.
2-Jax will receive the Defender talent from Wukong as well as all of his health.
3-Draven will exert all of his resources to help Jax.
4-Riven is one of the most potent bruisers in the game because of her Brawler trait and the way she uses her abilities as a shield. She's passing on her instincts for protection as well.
5-Ekko will suffer significant damage when fighting on the front lines, but his allies will still gain the advantages of his Aegis trait.
6-Having Sett in the lead with Defender and Mecha Prime is quite beneficial.
7-Poppy will begin the Defender's second level of activation because she is the fourth Defender.
8-Leona is a powerful tank with damage-dealing abilities thanks to her Mecha: Prime and Aegis skills.
1) FULL PRIME JAX
Synergies:
- 5 Mecha: Prim
- 2 Brawler
- 2 Aegis
- 4 Defender
- 1 Ace
In order to win, the best course of action is to gradually reroll up to level 8, with Jax, Wukong, and Draven all at that level 3.
Jax is at the centre of this duel due to his Prime Selected status, the activation of his Brawler and Mecha-Prime abilities, and other factors.
The top team for this build is:
1-After ingesting Wukong and Draven, your main damage-dealer Jax will receive a significant amount of extra health and trigger his Brawler trait.
2-Jax will have complete health and the Defender skill thanks to Wukong.
3-Draven will use all of his remaining life energy to save Jax.
4-Due to her Brawler trait and utilisation of her skills as a shield, Riven is one of the most powerful bruisers in the game. Her Defender quality will also be diminished.
5- Ekko will continue to pass on the Aegis trait to his teammates while suffering severe damage on the front lines.
6-Having Sett up front, who possesses both the Defender and Mecha: Prime qualities, is a significant benefit.
7- Poppy will turn on the second tier of the Defender trait because she is the fourth Defender.
8-Aegis and Mecha: Prime make Leona a strong tank and damage dealer.
