| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even — Tahm has only his Q and no pressure on your farm. |
| Level 2 | Wukong | Level 2 favours you as your full combo out-trades his slow-and-poke pattern. |
| Level 3 | Wukong | Level 3 stays yours — your E gap-close beats his dash-less, escape-less kit. |
| Levels 4-5 | Wukong | Levels 4-5 remain favoured as his grey health pops under sustained DPS. |
| Level 6 | Tahm Kench | At 6 Tahm's R gives him roam pressure, his one lane edge via jungle collapse. |
| First item | Wukong | Post-first-item you stay ahead since his W is survival, not kill pressure. |
| Two+ items | Wukong | Late game favours you as your knockup punishes his peel-focused positioning. |
Level 1 is even as Tahm has only his Q and no way to punish your farm. From level 2 you pull ahead — your combo out-trades his slow-and-poke pattern easily.
