How to win lane as Yone against Wukong · 49.05% win rate over 4,251 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Wukong | Wukong's Crushing Blow armor shred and passive resistances win the level 1 auto trade. |
| Level 2 | Wukong | At level 2 his Q plus early kit keep pushing you off the wave, so it stays his. |
| Level 3 | Wukong | Level 3 Nimbus Strike gives him a strong repeatable engage that out-trades you. |
| Levels 4-5 | Wukong | Levels 4-5 his cooldowns are up more often and his all-in still beats yours. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even skill: his Cyclone is deadly but your E and W give you a real answer. |
| First item | Yone | At your first item your sustained crit DPS starts overpowering his burst. |
| Two+ items | Yone | With 2+ items you outscale his single-target burst decisively in extended fights. |
Wukong bullies the first two levels. Crushing Blow (Q) shreds your armor and hits hard, and his passive gives him bonus armor/MR just standing near you, so straight autos favor him. Play the wave, farm with Q, and only trade when his Q is down.
