Key strategic elements to consider when playing Monkey King:

Turning into courier form with Mischief allows you to sneak up to opponents or snipe their couriers in the base. The opponents can`t see you on minimap.
A well timed Mischief allows you to dodge the damage coming from attacks and spells but not the debuffs coming with that spell or attack.
Consider skilling Boundless Strike on level 1 to secure ranged creep last hit if you do not see yourself getting Jingu Mastery stacks up.
Acquiring Jingu stacks or a threat of getting them is the way Monkey King wins the lane. Orb of Frost and early Boots of Speed help with that.
If the lane is rough consider putting more points in Tree Dance for creep clearing and work on solving mana issues to be able to spam it.
Many spells and items can cut trees you are standing on, including those coming from your allies. Be careful about that.
Pillar and Tinker wards as well as spells that provide flying vision when used, can spot you standing on the trees.
You should skip skilling Wukong`s Command on level 6 in most games as it is hard to keep opponents inside of it early on.
Channeling Wukong`s command from a tree will make you drop down from it without being stunned. You can jump back on any tree inside the ultimate ring and it will keep going.
To get a good Wukong`s Command, ideally channel it from a tree or outside of vision of enemy heroes and follow up with Boundless Strike.
Items that modify attacks or have proc chance - except for Skull Basher - will work on Monkey King soldiers.

Main skill and item combo order: Boundless Strike => Primal Spring => Attack => Wukong's Command => Attack
