Zed into Wukongmedium

Overview

Prioritize early jungle tempo to pressure Wukong before his level 6 engage spikes.
Use Zed's high mobility and burst to punish Wukong's medium clear speed and moderate invade resistance.
Focus on disrupting Wukong's pathing to limit his teamfight impact later.

Jungle Plan

Path for a fast clear and look to counter-jungle Wukong when he shows on the opposite side of the map.
Fight for Scuttle Crab only when your lanes can follow up on river skirmishes to capitalize on Wukong's reliance on teamfight setup.
Use your superior mobility to set up ganks on sidelanes before Wukong hits level 6 and gains strong engage tools.

Danger windows

Be cautious around Wukong's level 6 when he gains his cyclone knockup and engage potential.
Avoid isolated river fights without vision since Wukong's clone and dash create high engage threat.
Low-health clears before level 3 can be punished by Wukong's early gank threat; maintain health and vision to reduce risk.

Early game

Start with a full clear to reach level 3 quickly and unlock your ++ combo for early skirmishes.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky fights against Wukong's level 6 engage.
Avoid early invades before level 6 unless you have vision and lane support to capitalize on Wukong's medium invade resistance.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your ++ combo, enabling strong early skirmishes; use it to punish Wukong's medium early pressure.
Level 6 is a major spike; track Wukong's ultimate cooldown to avoid his engage and look for picks when yours is available.
First lethality item completion boosts your burst, allowing you to pressure waves and invade safely against Wukong's medium clear speed.

Win conditions

Use superior early clear speed and mobility to invade and deny Wukong camps before he reaches level 6.
Control vision around dragon and Rift Herald to prevent Wukong from turning his engage into objective wins.
Convert gank pressure and picks with into side-lane tempo and objective control to snowball your lead.
