I like him a lot. I especially enjoyed his Transformation attack, and how cleverly they integrated it into the game.

I feel that he's a bit underpowered. His one doesn't deal much damage, and his passive is...odd. I get the protections, but the crit chance feels out of place.

Also, his ult is weird. Anyone know how and where to use it? (Also, I have no idea what the enemy god sees, but the enemy Thanatos ulted the decoy, which was freaking hilarious).

Are you talking about conquest? or other game modes? because honestly I face roll with sun wukong but I have not played him in conquest.

Played a few practice jousts with him and overall somewhat impressed. I would probably go Golden bow over malice due to the face that his basic attack chain only hits one enemy.

So far have been going in practice joust:

Warrior Tabi
Asi
Golden Bow
Deathbringer

He actually is quite nasty with basic attacks once he gets the gear for it.

He's a little weak atm. Not really by much though. His 1 needs a very very slight damage buff and it would be good. Also would enjoy the cloud jump ult to be instant. His most confusing part is his passive. I think they didn't know what to give him so they gave him a bit of everything.

But the one main thing he needs is a cone attack in his basic chain. Probably at the end.

It seems as a jungle assassin he really depend on his Tiger Form, but if hes solo laning seems maybe you get a

Not gonna read what anyone else has said (not enough time) so forgive me if I just repeat what has already been said.

IMO, while he's a good support (knockup is very nice) with base damage good enough to be useful without items, or a good solo laner with surprisingly safe harass on a melee, I find him to be a terrifying jungler. His transformations, which can be cancelled at will, provide either a disruption, a fast stun, or a ridiculous gap closer.
Seriously, like in Arena, his eagle form will get him from the middle of the arena to his base before it wears out.

His staff his hard, his knockup does decent damage with a practically instantaneous activation (compared to sobek's which has to 'channel' for lack of a better phrase), and his transformations make him terrifying if he's within about 200 yards of you. Finally, his ult can be used over walls, and provides a scary, much easier to aim (albeit shorter), Thor-esque ult, that heals him while in midair, and has a clone do damage while channeled.

In summary,
Power Creeping OP

With his ult can you potentially trick people into an ambush, or is it obvious as to whether its a clone?

I would appreciate it if all CC didnt knock him out of his forms. I've lost count of the number of times scared me out of bird form at barely max range and gap closed to me. NOT suggesting CC immunity. Maybe he still gets affected but stays in his form. Also tiger form hitting minions sucks... but thats balance for you.

Oh, and general concensus appears to be 4>1>3>2 for skill progression. Just went 27/4/9 with this build in arena. Lost because my teammates couldnt play (story of my life today, 4 arenas in a row, all of which with a on the enemy team... only 1 where i was negative)

First game though ulted my clone, which was funny. ^.^

After playing with him a few times, I have a few more things to say:

His 1 doesn't really hit very hard. As a wave clearing skill, it's okay, but it doesn't do much against enemy gods, even with + focused void blade.

His two is an excellent way of forcing enemies to pay attention to you, as well as finishing off minion waves if they survive your one.

His three is just epic. An excellent escape, a great tool for initiation or ganking, and another incredibly distracting knockup.

My style of play is to build defenses and cooldown reduction to abuse as much disruption as possible. Ruin enemy formations with your Bull transformation, knock entire teams up with your fancy staff twirl, and mix it up with the occasional basic attack or staff slam. If you get into hot water, fire your ultimate and just rest before returning to battle. He's a great solo laner.

Oddly enough, I don't think he's as good in one-on-one combat. Most of his attacks sacrifice damage for area-of-effect, and unlike Hercules, he doesn't have the ability to suddenly burst a huge chunk of damage.

Honestly, his clone doesn't do much IMO, but it is great for bodyblocking shots from enemy carries. That, and initiating fights with it is freaking hilarious, especially if they do not see you summoning the clone. In one match, the enemy must have wasted one of their ults on the clone at least five times.

Sun Wukong is pretty awesome. Not OP, but nicely balanced. I honestly built him Ninja Tabi -Devourer's Glove (old one)- Hastened Fatalis - Qin's Sais (new one) - Rage - Deathbringer

I came out with ridiculously good life steal and my power was nothing to laugh at. Made me pretty survivable for an assassin. I tigered in, killed the guy in 2 seconds and was out before there could even be a reaction. It was just a practice joust, but I'm confident I can be in and out of lane before anyone noticed I was there.

If you want to gank tanks now you can even pick up the regular blades and make sure they NEVER see level 20.

If you want stats I drank the 400 gold power potion and had almost 400 physical power to my name. Its hard to survive early game though if you're not used to escaping with eagle. Had a few times the first match when I tried to eagle and didn't look up enough. Way too many deaths because of that.

His skill combos are pretty ridiculous. I exited eagle, knocked up, and bashed at about the same time nearly. Overall, his abilities aren't supposed to be used solo I think. You chain them together for their maximum effect. It works well with frost bound amulet, even if the slow is stupidly bad. Hastened Fatalis makes up for it.

Guys, an update: Do NOT use your ultimate by yourself when attacking the gold fury of fire giant. Their health WILL refresh, and you'd have wasted your ultimate.

I personally think they should remove the stun from Tiger form and replace it with a bleed, there is literally no reason to use the Ox form unless the enemy is surrounded by minions

Also.
Hi-rez.
Please make his 1 avoidable.
Thank you.
