Read from Wukong's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against K'Sante.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Even opener — his weak damage vs your late spikes cancel out at levels 1-2. |
| Level 2 | Wukong | You spike first with Q online, crushing his no-damage early. |
| Level 3 | Wukong | Levels 3-5 your E-Q-W trade pattern beats his unstacked shred. |
| Levels 4-5 | Wukong | You still dominate before his ult — he can't win a straight duel. |
| Level 6 | K'Sante | K'Sante's All-Out (R) flips the duel into a tanky, armor-ignoring brawl. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is even as he stacks tankiness and blunts your burst. |
| Two+ items | Wukong | Late you reclaim it — All Out sheds his own tank stats and your R punishes. |
K'Sante's level 1-2 is weak but Ntofo Strikes (Q, 3.5s) pokes and his passive on-hit adds up, so the opener is a skill-check on spacing rather than a free lane. Last-hit safely and never eat the two-stack pull.
