| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even - both of you just farm with no all-in threat. |
| Level 2 | Wukong | You own level 2 as E-into-Q assembles a trade he cannot answer yet. |
| Level 3 | Wukong | At 3 your full E-Q-W combo shreds his armor and the clone dodges his engage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are even as he stabilises farm and you both trade on cooldowns. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even - his R Final Retribution answers your Cyclone if he holds it. |
| First item | Wukong | First item is yours: shred plus item burst wins the straight duel. |
| Two+ items | Wukong | Two items in you stay ahead with clone pick pressure and Cyclone disengage. |
Level 1 is mutual farming with no all-in threat, then you take the lane: at 2 E Nimbus Strike into Q Crushing Blow is a complete trade he has no answer for, and at 3 the full E-Q-W rotation shreds his armor while Warrior Trickster's clone eats the E Golden Onslaught he tries to respond with.
