Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1WukongWukong's E Nimbus Strike closes the gap instantly and his Q Crushing Blow shreds your armor before your passive Permafrost resistances engage — no Level 1 trade is worth it.
Level 2WukongHe now has the full E-Q shred pattern and you have only W; your damage is too low to win the exchange he starts with Nimbus Strike onto your face.
Level 3Even / skillYour Q-W-W-E combo is online and matches his dueling burst — land it when he steps up and commit only if you can verify the real body before burning E Permafrost.
Levels 4-5Even / skillNeither of you has a decisive edge without R online; track his Cyclone cooldown and shove rather than force trades that his bruiser stats still win on raw damage.
Level 6SejuaniGlacial Prison gives you an initiation he cannot reliably dodge with W clone — throw it at the moving target and the stun into Q-W-W-E chain tilts the 1v1 firmly your way.
First itemEven / skillFirst tank item (Sunfire Aegis or Heartsteel) absorbs the armor-shred gap his Q opens and your Frost-stack trading pattern becomes self-sustaining — safe to contest the wave again.
Two+ itemsEven / skillYou are a teamfight engine and he is a bruiser split-pusher; in 5v5s your R plus E CC uptime wins objectives, and that gap only grows as both of you complete more items.

Early game (levels 1–5)

At Level 1 take W and just farm — Wukong's E Nimbus Strike lets him close instantly and his Q Crushing Blow shreds your armor before your passive can buffer any of it, so a Level 1 trade is purely his. At Level 2 he gets his Q and the shred-then-auto pattern becomes genuinely dangerous; stay at the tip of W range and build Frost stacks passively, but do not let him bait a Q engage where he can Nimbus Strike through your charge and follow up on your landing spot. Level 3 is the first moment this lane is truly contested: Q him onto your terms (away from his tower so he has no escape), fire both W strikes for full Frost, then E to shatter the stun — the key is verifying you're hitting his real body before burning E, because a clone-baited miss leaves you stunned on empty air while he trades freely.
