Read from Master Yi's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Wukong.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Wukong | Wukong's Crushing Blow armor shred and early stats beat your level-1 Alpha Strike. |
| Level 2 | Wukong | At 2 his Q plus Nimbus Strike attack speed out-trade your melee. |
| Level 3 | Wukong | Level 3 gives him Cyclone-less kill pressure with Q armor shred while you lack resets. |
| Levels 4-5 | Wukong | Levels 4-5 he still out-trades with Nimbus Strike attack speed and Q burst. |
| Level 6 | Master Yi | By 6 your resets and attack speed make extended trades even, decided by dodging Cyclone. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is skill-dependent: your DPS scales but his clone and Cyclone can still swing it. |
| Two+ items | Master Yi | With two items your Double Strike sustain-DPS outduels his single burst rotation. |
Wukong bullies levels 1-3: Crushing Blow (Q) shreds your armor and Nimbus Strike (E) gives him gap-close plus attack speed while your Alpha Strike is your only tool, so farm safe and don't melee-trade.
