| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Wukong | Level 1 favors you with better base stats against a squishy melee. |
| Level 2 | Wukong | Level 2 you out-trade her easily with Q before she has escapes. |
| Level 3 | Wukong | Level 3 your E gap-close punishes her every time she steps up. |
| Levels 4-5 | Wukong | Level 4-5 you keep the trade lead as she still lacks her ultimate. |
| Level 6 | Akali | Akali's level 6 R double-dash burst makes this her strongest window. |
| First item | Even / skill | First-item timings are even as shroud cooldown trades off with your brawl. |
| Two+ items | Wukong | Late game your tankier decoy kit out-values her single-target assassination. |
Levels 1-3 heavily favor you: Akali is a squishy melee with no dash, so E-Q onto her every time she comes for a caster minion and she can't answer.
