Read from Warwick's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Wukong.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Warwick | Level 1 is yours as your Q heal and passive beat Wukong before his kit is online. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is even skill as his W clone and stealth start to answer your trades. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 stays even with his Q armor shred trading against your Jaws sustain. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 remain a skill matchup of reading his decoy versus your dash timing. |
| Level 6 | Warwick | Level 6 favors you since your all-in kills him when his W and R are down. |
| First item | Wukong | First item favors Wukong as armor-pen burst and Q shred out-trade you straight up. |
| Two+ items | Wukong | With two-plus items his teamfight Cyclone displacement and W escapes out-scale your solo threat. |
Level 1 is yours: your Q Jaws heal and passive beat Wukong before his kit comes online. Levels 2-4 settle into even skill — his W clone and stealth can bait your dash and his Q shreds your armor, so the trades come down to reading his decoy and not chasing the clone.
