How to win lane as Wukong against Irelia · 59.6% win rate over 448 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even before Irelia has any Bladesurge resets online. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays even while both of you trade in short bursts. |
| Level 3 | Irelia | Level 3 favours Irelia as chained Q resets win the extended trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Irelia | Levels 4-5 stay hers with the Flawless Duet stun locking your all-ins. |
| Level 6 | Wukong | Level 6 swings to you because your R knockup interrupts her dash combo and ult. |
| First item | Even / skill | At first item the lane evens as your W decoy and Q shred offset her stacks. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | With two items it's an even skirmish where your R and W answer her mobility. |
Levels 1-2 are even before Irelia has resets — trade in short bursts and deny her the low minions she wants. From level 3 she takes over: chained Bladesurge (Q) resets and the Flawless Duet (E) stun let her win the extended trades your kit can't sustain, so keep fights short.
