Damage
824Wukong
980Illaoi
Illaoi heavily out-damages Wukong by 155 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Wukong should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Illaoi's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
13,349Wukong

Illaoi generates a commanding 928 more gold per game than Wukong. This substantial economic advantage means Illaoi consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.
