For the energy drain on Defy-- equip rage on this guy and you're solid. I like Valkyr, but honestly spending all my time in Hysteria is boring as hell. It's much more interesting toggling Defy to bring your safety back to the maximum amount of health you can have, since while you're doing it you're vulnerable. That element of risk is much more rewarding than a zero percent chance of dying. As for Primal Fury, use a high crit % weapon like Tekko and equip Berserker. Then slide into groups of enemies and watch every single one of them being obliterated. You even have an on-screen visual cue as to how well you're building up that combo, and with every hit the staff grows in size making Wukong that much more powerful. It's a nice rush feeling the need to chain attacks on the next enemy. That, or lose your multiplier and return to a much shorter, much less effective weapon. The other two abilities aren't terrible, but they're nothing spectacular either. Similar to tons of other existing frames. My only gripe is how slow his movement speed is overall. He feels overencumbered, and for something based on Sun Wukong this just doesn't make any sense. Nothing an exilus movement mod can't fix though.

As for people claiming this doesn't fit in Warframe or trash talking China/DE's motivations of putting him in the game to begin with-- they're clearly unfamiliar with the origin story and so simply decided to hate it without giving him a chance. It reeks of ethnocentrism and overall ignorance regarding legends and fables. I mean hell, Loki is based on a Norse God and looks like a hammerhead shark, and Wukong is out of place? That's hilarious.
