Wukong is a Diver that deals physical (AD) damage and brings airborne. Some of their lockdown (airborne) ignores tenacity, so you dodge it; you can't cleanse or Merc' through it. Below is Wukong's highest-win-rate build from high-elo games; open the counter-build tool to tune it against your specific enemy team.

PLAYING ASWukong
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.
PLAYING AGAINSTWukong
Wukong will often use Decoy after Nimbus Strike. Try delaying your abilities by a short amount of time to ensure that you're hitting the real Wukong.
Wukong becomes tougher to kill when surrounded by his enemies. Try to isolate him to gain an advantage.
