Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1OlafNo clone and only one rank of Q armor-shred yet, so your Q-slow-into-auto and passive ramp win first contact clean.
Level 2OlafYour level 2 Q plus E lands a guaranteed true-damage burst before his clone or shred can answer it.
Level 3OlafQ-E-W chains a slow and true damage he cannot trade back while his only reset is a short E dash.
Levels 4-5Even / skillHis W clone and Q armor-shred come online and start blunting your autos, leveling the short trades out.
Level 6Even / skillRagnarok cleanses his R spin knockup so neither of you cleanly wins the all-in, but you remove his best tool.
First itemEven / skillYour Black Cleaver and Bramble peak matches his first-item clone spike, keeping the lane a coinflip.
Two+ itemsWukongHis stacked armor, clone burst and R knockup outscale your flat true damage once he hits 2+ items.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Wukong has no clone yet and his Q armor-shred is single-rank, so the first three levels are yours. Land Q to slow him, walk up, and weave an E true-damage hit the moment he commits to a creep or steps for a trade. Watch his E dash range, that is his only reset tool early, and do not waste your Q on a clone he has not made yet. If he greeds a last hit at melee range, your level 2-3 Q-E-W is a chunk he simply cannot trade back.
