The jungle race — the windows in Wukong's plan

Read from Wukong's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Rammus.

StageReadWhy
Level 1 ClearEven SkirmishDefensive Ball Curl turns auto-attackers' trades against them, literally, and that is worth exactly what you bring: Crushing Blow plus double-Q armor shred wins the opening exchange. Contest your opening camps when your health bar is the higher one and not before.
Level 2 SkirmishEven SkirmishEven on the second camp, for a concrete reason — Powerball engage plus the thornmail passive wins fights AD kits start, while the Warrior Trickster clone baits their cooldowns and wins the re-engage. Stop attacking during his W — wait out the curl's duration, then trade, and let the camp timers choose the fight for you.
Level 3 RouteRespect RammusAt level 3 this window belongs to Rammus: Defensive Ball Curl turns auto-attackers' trades against them, literally, and Defensive Ball Curl plus the taunt means every auto you throw damages you back. Stop attacking during his W — wait out the curl's duration, then trade. Give up the level-3 river fight and bank tempo on the opposite side of the map.
Levels 4-5 MacroRespect Rammus — Path OppositeYou lose the 4-5 duel. He rolls 4-5 into lanes on Powerball and takes the taunt fight anywhere a laner can follow up — so let them have that half of the map and cash the other half faster.
Level 6 BreakpointRespect Rammus's RSoaring Slam drops the taunt onto you from over the wall — Wukong loses the straight post-6 duel. The rule has not changed — stop attacking during Ball Curl and walk the taunt off, and shift your pressure to the side of the map their ultimate is not on.
First Item SpikeSundered Sky SpikeCompleting your core item triggers a massive physical damage and sustained fighting multiplier that completely overpowers traditional brawlers or isolated targets. Rammus' first item is an armour spike more than a damage one, which is exactly what makes him harder to fight.
2+ Items ScalingEven Scaling — Prep DecidesEven at full build. Since he reflects auto-attack damage faster than most carries can put it out, win the vision around the pit first and the fight second.
