Burst him — don’t fight the clone, E-block his combo.
Track: Wukong's E — Nimbus Strike (10–7s cooldown). His engage dash. Bait it.
Read from Pantheon's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Wukong.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | At level 1 you are one of the strongest in the game — point-and-click Shield Vault damage beats a Wukong with Stone Skin unstacked. |
| Level 2 | Pantheon | Your Level 2 spike gives a hard all-in before Warrior Trickster or Crushing Blow exist. |
| Level 3 | Pantheon | Level 3 with all three basics is your premier kill window — W-stun, empowered-Q burst, and no armour shred yet. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 even out: Stone Skin stacks armour through every extended trade, so keep yours short and reset. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 your Starfall is a roam tool, not a spike, while Cyclone's knock-up flips your all-in and cancels Aegis Assault. |
| First item | Even / skill | Around first item you are roughly level: your tempo should be cashed out, and Crushing Blow's armour shred is catching up. |
| Two+ items | Pantheon | By 2+ items he out-scales decisively — Crushing Blow's shred plus Stone Skin's stacking armour beat your plateaued burst. |
Levels 1-3 are yours. Wukong has weak base stats and Warrior Trickster is 22 seconds at rank 1, so your point-and-click W-stun into empowered-Q burst out-damages anything he does back. At 2-3 force the all-in — but know the slots: Nimbus Strike (E, 10s, 650) is the dash onto you, while Warrior Trickster is the invisible dash away that leaves the clone. Don't chase the clone.
