Core Game Items

      

Phase Boots - help to chasing enemies and increase damage at early games
Echo Sabre - straightly build this item which help to proc Jingu Mastery faster and slowing enemies
Monkey King Bar - buy this if there any high evasion enemies such as Phantom Assassin or Riki.
Battle Fury - buy this if there any Manta Style user or enemy like Phantom Lancer. Still, this item so good in fighting more than one enemies.
Skull Basher / Abyssal Blade - stun enemies for stacking up Jingu Mastery and help a lot in fighting enemies that are super strong like Sven, evasion enemies like Phantom Assassin and Riki
Butterfly - this boost up attack speed, damage and the most important is evasion. Help you a lot when get caught by Legion Commander ultimate skill (Duel)
Heart Of Tarrasque - an important item to be tank a bit while fighting plus the HP regeneration help a lot in staying longer in lane

How To Play Monkey King

Jingu Mastery + Boundless Strike
 
Using normal hit for 4 times to proc the passive buff and then using Boundless Strike to enemies which will make the damage increased and see how hard enemies need to swallow those damage. Using this method at early games to harass them from farming, plus kill them easily if they so stubborn to fight with Monkey King.

When many units are being hit by Boundless Strike, its easily to restore your HP in huge amount (usually this method help me getting 100% HP back) because of the passive buff 60% lifesteal and it just using only 1 charge of Jingu Mastery.


Boundless Strike + Wukong's Command
 
Stun enemies and straight using Monkey King ultimate skill much better because Wukong's Command has some casting animation delay when activated.

The clones still can copies some of Monkey King items, which Echo Sabre do help a lot here to slow down enemies. Clones attack speed is locked at 1.4 second of each attack.

In my play style, I do depends so much on Monkey King passive buff (Jingu Mastery) because the buff lifesteal and damage bonus are so awesome which make Monkey King so hard to kill. I don't really bother to use Mischief and Tree Dance skills.
