Read from Vayne's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Wukong.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Wukong | Level 1 is Wukong's: base stats and Crushing Blow shred out-trade your squishy frame. |
| Level 2 | Wukong | Level 2 stays his as his early trade pattern snowballs the lane. |
| Level 3 | Wukong | Level 3 favors Wukong — Warrior Trickster clone jukes your Condemn engage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Wukong | Levels 4-5 remain red with Nimbus Strike dash chaining autos onto you. |
| Level 6 | Wukong | Level 6 is firmly his with the armor-shred Cyclone all-in. |
| First item | Wukong | At first item his E-W engage and R still out-trade your unfinished build. |
| Two+ items | Vayne | Only at two-plus items do Final Hour and percent-HP true damage finally outscale him. |
Levels 1-2 already favor Wukong — his base stats and Crushing Blow (Q) armor-shred out-trade your squishy frame, and his kit punishes any forward Tumble. Concede the trade war, focus CS, and don't feed his snowball into a lane he's built to win.
