Read from Sion's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Wukong.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 he has no Warrior Trickster decoy yet, so your charged Q cannot be baited — landing it on him is still the hard part. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 he gets his E dash and trades more freely; W-shield his all-in burst and partial-charge Q back, but neither of you has decisive kill threat. |
| Level 3 | Sion | Level 3 your E armor-shred into charged Q is your cleanest combo window — land the stun before he can drop his W decoy. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are skill-check on clone reads — if you fire your charged Q into empty air the lane swings to him, if you hold it for the real body you stay even. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is genuine coin-flip: his R spin can disrupt your Q channel but your R gives escape and dive threat, keeping the window contested. |
| First item | Wukong | His Trinity Force first item hits a burst-and-shred spike that out-paces your Heartsteel compound — don't trade into his full rotation here. |
| Two+ items | Sion | Past two items your HP stack outgrows his burst, your W-shield absorbs his combo, and your zombie passive punishes any fight he picks against you. |
At level 1 you are actually the threat — a fully charged Q is a knockup he cannot dodge unless he burns his W decoy early. Play toward that: stand at partial-charge range and force him to either take the Q or waste the decoy. At level 2 he gets his E dash and the real trading pattern begins; W-shield his E-AA combo and counter with your own auto into a partial-charge Q to slow him. By level 3 your full kit is live — E to shred his armor, then charge Q to knock him up while the shred is active. Just remember his Q simultaneously shreds YOUR armor, so every extended trade gets worse for you; land the stun and get out rather than brawling past the knockup.
