Info

  • Wukong engages a defiant stance while priming his IronStaff Iron Staff, increasing his Threat Level to taunt enemies into attacking him and becoming invulnerable for 2 seconds. Any damage Wukong takes while in this stance is absorbed and stored; after the invulnerability period expires, Wukong cleanses himself of any negative Status Effects, spins in place while elongating his staff and inflicts the stored damage multiplied by 4 / 5 / 6 / 7.5 times to all enemies within a radius of 7 / 8 / 10 / 12 meters. Afterwards, Wukong gains an armor bonus depending on the amount of damage absorbed, with a multiplier of 0.8 / 1 / 1.2 / 1.5 and lasts for 15 / 18 / 20 / 25 seconds. The spin can be executed earlier by pressing the ability key again (default 3 ) or using melee attack.
    • Damage multiplier and armor multiplier are affected by Ability Strength.
    • Swing radius is affected by Ability Range.
    • Invulnerability and armor duration are affected by Ability Duration.
    • Armor bonus grants a minimum of 50 points and is capped at 1,500 points.
    • Enemies hit by the staff are ragdolled away in the direction of the swing.
    • During the defiant stance, Wukong's movement speed is reduced to 50%.
  • The armor bonus is removed if Defy is recast before it expires.
  • Ability Synergy: When activating Defy with an active CelestialTwin130xWhite Celestial Twin, the twin engages in Defy, gaining the same increased Threat Level, invulnerability, damage reflection, and armor bonus.
  • Wukong cannot cast other abilities, perform parkour Maneuvers or general interactions while channeling this ability.
