Playstyle

Wu is a mobile, evasive melee fighter/assassin with tons of crowd control and decent single target damage.

• He can play near his team for big follow up damage on pulled targets, or make solo plays to try to assassinate or ring-out.
• Nearly all of Wu's skills give great mobility, which lets him easily chase down his targets and makes him hard to hit.
• His E is a medium range pull that is perfect for initiating a fight or securing a kill, and can even score some cheeky ring outs.
• Wu's Focus provides yet another source of CC to his kit, and gives powerful buffs for up to 10 seconds.

Movement, unpredictability, cooldown management, and team coordination let Wu turn the tide of any match.

Notes

• Wu is one of the best characters to get ring-outs with, as he can jump off a cliff with RMB, pull an enemy, then kick back to safety, leaving the pulled enemy to fall to their death.
• Try not to burn all your cooldowns at once - when spread out they give Wu constant mobility, but if all skills are on cooldown at once Wu becomes a sitting duck.
• Pull enemies into your teammates for them to follow up.
  • Try not to pull an enemy that is already being CC'ed by a teammate, as your pull may cause allies skills to miss.
• Enemies can dodge Tonguelash if they know it is coming, so try to be unpredictable with the timing and angles you use it.
• When available, use Focus early in a fight in order to get maximum value out of the damage and armor buff.
