How to win lane as Zaahen against Wukong · 51.14% win rate over 2,057 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even — both of you just farm with no all-in threat. |
| Level 2 | Wukong | Wukong owns level 2 as he assembles the E-into-Q trade you can't answer yet. |
| Level 3 | Wukong | At level 3 his full E-Q-W combo shreds armour and the clone dodges your engage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are even as you stabilise farm and both trade on cooldowns. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even in the chart — your R Final Retribution answers his Cyclone if you hold it. |
| First item | Wukong | First item favours Wukong: his shred plus item burst wins the straight duel. |
| Two+ items | Wukong | Two items in he stays ahead with clone pick pressure and Cyclone disengage. |
Level 1-2 is even farming — neither of you has a real all-in, so last-hit cleanly and hold your Q for a poke window rather than shoving. Wukong wants to reach level 3 with his full trade pattern, so deny him free stacks of your passive and don't walk into brush where he can open with E.
