How to Play the Laning Phase

Against heal/shield supports

Use your combo on the support and have your ADC attack the enemy ADC. As you go in, the support will use their shield on themselves and the ADC will go in to try to attack you, giving your ADC free reign to get easy damage off. Soraka is different because she can only heal others and her E blocks you from going in if you get close, but if you get her low enough she'll be too scared to go near her ADC and will be forced to back.

Against hook supports

When your ADC positions poorly, go in front of them and use your decoy to eat the hook or other skill shots. Wukong can provide some good peel this way by having both himself and the decoy act as body blocks.

Keep trading with the enemy ADC, but keep an eye on the support's positioning and cooldowns. Once they stray a bit too far from the ADC, go in. Otherwise, you risk getting cc'ed and locked down. A Leona with all her abilities up can destroy you if you get near her. A good Bard can predict where you go after you W and get a double stun off with you and your decoy if you aren't careful.

Other Tips/Tricks/Strategies

As with any other support who uses Relic Shield - always get the cannon minion, otherwise get the melee minions. With your E and Q, you can get close to these minions and attack them from a longer range so it's easy to get the stacks you need. Never have all stacks up, it's not efficient and you want to keep the stacks charging. Try to trade before taking stacks so you and your ADC can heal, as opposed to getting stacks when you're full HP already.Your bread and butter combo is the E-AA-Q reset-W escape. Use this on the enemy ADC whenever you can. If you can safely escape without using W, keep it up to save mana and to have it for another trade when your Q+E comes back up.Your strategy is to poke them repeatedly. Once they realize you hurt, you can keep them zoned away from creeps when they know your E is up. Once they are low enough, it's an easy all-in. At level 6 you should be able to get a free double kill if you know what you are doing and have an ADC with half a brain.With your stealth and ult, roaming mid also leads to free kills.If your jungler is stronger and there is lane pressure, you can invade with your jungler to pick up Poacher's Dirk stacks and further snowball your lead that way while putting their jungler further behind.Once you have Duskblade complete and if you are ahead you can 1-combo most squishies surprisingly early in the game. Nobody expects this from a Wukong support with 1 complete item. If you're not ahead but not behind, you can get them to extremely low HP and win most 2v2's if your ADC doesn't muck up. If you are behind, just take stray CS where you can and go for your 2-item spike because once you hit that you should be able to one-combo squishies even if they are fed and a couple levels higher.If your team is ahead, or if you're in low elo, I skip out on the Sightstone for more damage. I find that the trinket gives you enough wards if you carefully place them, and if you and your ADC put control wards in safer areas on your side of the jungle, that is usually sufficient. People at lower elos don't even pay attention to the map so all the vision in the world becomes useless. If you're far ahead, the rest of your team will use all their wards offensively anyways and have objective control so it's immaterial to have more vision. The Duskblade passive will act like a sweeper for you to control enemy vision.Pick up CS wherever you can. Once laning phase ends, push out side waves, take camps that people leave behind, and take enemy jungle camps when it's safe to do so. Take scuttle as they come up for the vision, objective control, and extra gold. Basically, play as if you're a second jungler.In team fights I use Youmuu's active and W to go in when I think I can land my ult on the ADC and the APC, then I go E-Q-R. If they flash or move, I also flash to stay on them. This is why CDR boots are important for more play making potential. After I ult, I try to move more towards my team so they can come clean up before I get blown up. With all your HP and shields and your passive, you do have that survivability. Many times I go in, destroy the enemy team, and get out with barely any HP. If there is a particular squishy on the enemy team who is very fed, I'll go all in and burst them to death since sacrificing myself is worth it for that.
