Read from Ornn's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Wukong.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Wukong | Crushing Blow's armour shred plus a Nimbus Strike dash beats you at 1 while you have no combo and an empty mana bar. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Even level: he can poke with Q but lacks the full burst yet, and you can start farming back toward your level-3 spike. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Your W (Bellows Breath) comes online — its shield and unstoppable percent-HP exhale let you trade back through his Q-shred, evening the lane. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ornn | Your second combo point lets you punish his E-dash with an E-into-Q-pillar knock-up and a Brittle-amplified max-HP trade. |
| Level 6 | Ornn | Your R knock-up beats Cyclone's all-in and chains into E-into-Q-pillar Brittle for the kill, so you own the 6 window. |
| First item | Even / skill | His first bruiser item re-arms the E-Q-R clone all-in, but your Heartsteel/Sunfire spike keeps the lane a coinflip you can W-poke through. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Neither champ hard-outscales the other 1v1 — it stays even in lane, and your teamfight ceiling with Masterwork upgrades tips fights, not the duel. |
Wukong owns the first two levels here — he has a real level-2 all-in with Q armor-shred and his E-dash gap-close while you have no shield, no combo, and a mana bar that runs dry. Don't contest the early waves; last-hit at range and respect his level-2 spike. The moment you hit 3 and get W (Bellows Breath), the lane stabilizes: its unstoppable percent-HP exhale and shield let you trade back through his Q and discourage the E-in all-in.
