Read from Wukong's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yasuo.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Wukong | Wukong's level-1 Q trade beats Yasuo before his combo comes online. |
| Level 2 | Wukong | At level 2 Yasuo still lacks trade tools while your Q armor-shred hurts. |
| Level 3 | Wukong | Level 3 with E-Q-W you win the extended trade cleanly. |
| Levels 4-5 | Wukong | Levels 4-5 your kit out-trades his pre-crit poke and sustain. |
| Level 6 | Wukong | At 6 Cyclone knocks him out of Windwall for a favorable all-in. |
| First item | Yasuo | First crit item flips it: Yasuo's shield and crits win short trades. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | With 2+ items Yasuo's Windwall and double crits out-duel you. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: Yasuo's early Steel Tempest poke is weak before he has his full combo, so trade with Q and stay on top of him.
