How to win lane as Wukong against Nasus · 51.14% win rate over 352 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is a mirror farm phase with neither champ holding a real edge, so it reads Skill. |
| Level 2 | Wukong | At Level 2 your Q Crushing Blow poke lands before Nasus has an answer, giving you the tempo. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | By Level 3 his Q trades trade back and the lane settles into even farming. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay even as both of you farm and his Wither is not yet online to punish. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even because your R burst and his weak Q-CD windows roughly cancel out. |
| First item | Nasus | At first item Nasus's stacked Siphoning Strike plus Iceborn tips the duel his way. |
| Two+ items | Nasus | With two-plus items a fully stacked Nasus and Wither overpower any extended fight, favoring him. |
Level 1 is a farm standoff, but at 2 your Q gives you a clean poke edge before Nasus has any tools.
