| Level 2 | Even / skill | At Level 2 the lane evens as you get your combo and can bait his Q. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 stays a skill trade with his Q on a long cooldown. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 remain even as both farm and look for a window. |

| First item | Wukong | With your first item you burst past his Q heal, tipping it to you. |
| Two+ items | Wukong | Late game your knock-up cancels his suppression and peels his dives, favouring you. |
Warwick wins Level 1: his Q heals off your health and his passive sustain lets him win the opening auto exchange outright. Don't try to out-trade him early; farm with Nimbus Strike range and wait for your kit, because raw exchanges only fuel his Jaws healing.
