Read from Wukong's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Darius.
This is Wukong's own plan; across 3,831 pooled games the lane is leaning Wukong.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Darius | Darius owns level 1 because Apprehend pull into Decimate out-trades your empty kit. |
| Level 2 | Darius | He stays ahead at 2 as Hemorrhage bleed and the outer-Q sweet spot punish any commit. |
| Level 3 | Darius | Level 3 is still his because his pull-combo damage beats your not-yet-complete clone kit. |
| Levels 4-5 | Wukong | You flip at 4 because E-Q-W lets you dodge the pull and eat his Q on the clone. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even: Cyclone interrupts his Guillotine, but a reset undoes your lead. |
| First item | Darius | Darius reclaims first-item with Noxian Might and a Guillotine reset in extended fights. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | By 2+ items it's a skill coinflip between your R interrupt and his stack-reset threat. |
Levels 1-3 are Darius's: his Apprehend pull plus outer-blade Decimate out-trades you before your combo comes online, and every auto stacks Hemorrhage bleed. Play back, dodge the E pull, and farm at range until you hit 4.
