897Wukong
Wukong heavily out-damages Rakan by 618 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Rakan should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Wukong's sustained damage advantage take over.
