Scuttle Contest

At level 3, you lose a direct scuttle fight against Wukong — his Q shred and short-trade pattern with W disengage make him stronger in isolated 1v1s at this stage, so you should only contest scuttle if you have lane priority or a numbers advantage.
At level 6 as Rhaast, you can win the 1v1 by using your E through terrain to dodge his E engage, then fighting him inside your Q stacks with sustained healing; as Shadow Assassin, avoid extended fights and only kill him with a burst combo if he has already used W.

Wukong will likely start red buff and path toward scuttle aggressively, looking to contest at level 3 with his strong early skirmish kit — he may also look to invade your blue side after clearing his red if he suspects you started on the opposite side.
Expect him to prioritize early skirmishes and possibly a level 3 or level 4 gank top lane, as Wukong's kit is highly gank-oriented with his E gap-close and W clone for baiting.

You should generally avoid invading Wukong early — his level 3 and level 4 power spike is stronger than yours, and getting caught in his jungle without form means you have no meaningful damage advantage or sustain to win the fight.
If you must invade, wait until level 6 as Rhaast with a few stacks already built, targeting his red buff side after he has committed to a gank, as this is the safest window to contest without risking a clean death.

Do not use your E through terrain aggressively to engage on Wukong without confirming his W is on cooldown — if he has W available, he will clone, reset the fight, and re-engage on you while you are repositioning, effectively wasting your primary mobility tool.
Avoid fighting Wukong in open areas without terrain nearby, as your E is your primary tool for both dodging his combo and re-engaging, and losing access to it by fighting in open jungle puts you at a severe mechanical disadvantage.
