How to win lane as Aatrox against Wukong · 50.83% win rate over 3,604 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 even — his passive armor and E dash offset your lack of a spike |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays even with neither holding a kill threat |
| Level 3 | Aatrox | Level 3 your Q pattern and drain out-brawl his early burst |
| Levels 4-5 | Wukong | Levels 4-5 tip to Wukong as his armor stacking and all-in come online |
| Level 6 | Wukong | Level 6 Cyclone and his all-in spike keep the window with Wukong |
| First item | Aatrox | First item swings the extended brawl back to your drain |
| Two+ items | Aatrox | Late game your itemised drain wins the 1v1 despite his teamfight edge |
Level 1-2 is even: Wukong's passive stacks armor and bonus damage in melee, and his Nimbus Strike (E) gives him a dash gap-close, so he can trade decently before your Q pattern exists. Don't over-extend into his E range. His W clone isn't up to bait yet, so just farm cleanly and set up for your level-3 spike.
