Favour timeline — the windows in Teemo's game plan

Read from Teemo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Wukong.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillWukong's level 1 is pure auto-based threat — one Blinding Dart and he deals zero damage this trade window.
Level 2TeemoNimbus Strike arrives at 10s on rank 1 against your flat 7s Q, and it is target-locked from 650 units — spacing beats it, not reaction.
Level 3TeemoAll three of your basics are up and he still cannot auto through a blind — short poison trades heavily favor you here.
Levels 4-5Even / skillHe hits level 6 and Cyclone changes the kill pattern; mushroom zone control replaces lane poke as the primary win condition.
Level 6Even / skillYour R mushrooms accelerate and he has W clone tricks — the lane is genuinely even on who reads whom correctly.
First itemEven / skillLiandry's DoT burns through his armor-stacking and mushrooms reveal his clone position — a narrow edge that can slip either way.
Two+ itemsWukongTrinity Force Wukong survives enough poison to land a full E-W-Q-R knock-up chain and delete you; give up the 1v1 and split.

How to beat Wukong as Teemo: the early game

Hit Blinding Dart the instant Wukong steps up to last-hit — Crushing Blow and auto damage are his entire level 1-3 kit, and a blind auto-cancels all of it. Nimbus Strike is the part you cannot react to: it is target-locked from 650 units, so the only counterplay is standing outside that range, not sidestepping or W-ing away once he has cast. Take short poison-poke trades: Q blind, two Toxic Shot procs, then W out. Never extend a trade at half health because his base damage is respectable even blinded, and his passive armour stacking means your physical auto damage falls off every wave.
