Who Wins
- You lose early levels 1-3 due to Wukong's superior base stats and Q armor reduction, but can survive with Q poke and energy management.
- At level 6, you gain kill pressure advantage with R mobility and burst combo that Wukong cannot match in isolated fights.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is Q poke when Wukong goes for CS, then use passive-empowered AA when he commits with E-Q combo.
- Drop W shroud when he extends the trade, then re-engage with energy restored and passive movement speed to win extended exchanges.
Wave Control
- Concede early wave control to avoid Wukong's stronger early game, but look to freeze near your tower where you can safely farm and scale.
- Post-6, you can contest waves more aggressively using W shroud to avoid minion damage and R for escape routes.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W shroud preemptively as Wukong can simply disengage with his superior early game strength and wait for cooldowns.
- Avoid fighting when your energy is low, as Wukong's sustained damage with Q armor shred will outdamage your energy-gated abilities.
