| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Wukong | Level 1 is a neutral last-hit lane with no real spike for either side. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays even as neither champion has a full combo online. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | At level 3 Aatrox's complete Q chain and sweet-spot damage out-trade you. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Your level 4-5 Q armor shred plus W dodge windows let you win short trades. |
| Level 6 | Wukong | Your R Cyclone knockup interrupts and out-bursts his World Ender heal at 6. |
| First item | Even / skill | Aatrox's first-item healing ramp lets his sustained trades outscale your burst. |
| Two+ items | Wukong | Aatrox's teamfight healing and revive out-value your single-target dive late. |
Levels 1-2 are even farm; neither of you commits hard before Aatrox has his Q chain, so respect his range and last-hit safely.
