Read from Wukong's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Cho'Gath.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even because his Rupture outranges you but you have no all-in tools yet. |
| Level 2 | Wukong | You favour level 2 because E-Q-clone lets you trade before Rupture lands. |
| Level 3 | Wukong | You stay ahead at 3 as Crushing Blow shreds his armor and cuts his regen in short all-ins. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 even out as he farms safely and edges toward his Feast spike. |
| Level 6 | Cho'Gath | Cho'Gath takes 6 because Feast becomes a point-and-click execute on you when low. |
| First item | Cho'Gath | He holds the first-item lead by stacking passive health and Feast into an unkillable body. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | By 2+ items it's skill because you can kite and peel but neither solo-kills the other. |
Level 1 is even farming: his Q Rupture outranges your commit but you have no all-in yet, so just trade autos and set up. Cho'Gath wants to eat minions with Vorpal Spikes and hold Rupture defensively.
