Tips and Tricks
Monkey King has a 300 attack range, which sets him apart from most melee heroes and enables him to assault other melee foes without worrying about reprisal.
Primal Spring can be landed by taking use of Boundless Strike’s stun duration.
Use Monkey King’s propensity to leap from tree to tree to your advantage by using the treeline that surrounds the perimeter of the map as a cover whenever he is in danger.
Players would have to prioritize raw damage and agility to get the most out of Wukong’s Command and Boundless Strike, respectively, since these abilities are unaffected by attack speed and only rely on raw damage values.
Monkey king’s Ability
BOUNDLESS STRIKE
In order to paralyze adversaries in a line and do critical damage to them, Monkey King enlarges his staff and slams it into the ground. Truly strikes.
TREE DANCE
Monkey King climbs a tree and sits there. He acquires the Primal Spring talent, a channeled jump attack, while perched. Monkey King falls and becomes dazed for 4 seconds if his tree is destroyed. Tree Dance is put on cooldown when a player controlled unit or Roshan deals damage to them while they are on the ground.
JINGU MASTERY
Attacks by the Monkey King reawaken the power of the Jingu Bang. Four charged attacks with additional damage and lifesteal are unleashed by Monkey King once he deals four hits to the same enemy hero.
WUKONG’S COMMAND
Monkey King spreads out from his position and forms a circle of soldiers. If the Monkey King leaves, his men scatter. The soldiers exclusively assault heroes and have the attack of the Monkey King. For the duration of the spell, Monkey King receives extra protection.
