Info

• Wukong summons and extends his Iron Staff up to 5 / 6 / 8 / 10 meters in the direction of the HUD's targeting reticle, inflicting 500 / 600 / 700 / 800 damage to a single enemy along its path. The damaged enemy is forcefully ragdolled, and enemies within 1.25 / 1.5 / 1.75 / 2 meters of Iron Jab's point of impact suffer a knockdown.
• Damage is affected by Ability Strength and certain mods.
  • As an example, with a maxed  Pressure Point,  Shocking Touch and  Intensify, the normal attacks of a rank-3 Iron Jab will deal
    Base Damage × (1 + Damage Mods) × (1 + Elemental Mods) × (1 + Strength Mods) =
    800 × (1 + 1.2) × (1 + 0.9) × (1 + 0.3) = 4,347.2 damage.
  • Iron Jab is also affected by equipped melee mods including:
    • Damage (e.g.,  Pressure Point)
    • Impact (e.g.,  Collision Force)
    • Elemental damage (e.g.,  Shocking Touch)
    • weapon augments (e.g.,  Justice Blades)
    • The +100 damage from  Covert Lethality
    • Riven
  • Manticore's damage bonus applies to the ability.
  • Iron Jab is not affected by the equipped melee weapon's stats and innate effects, class-specific mods (e.g.,  Vulcan Blitz), or Acolyte Mods.
    • The only exceptions to this rule are:
      •  Mire and its passive ability to grant +10% damage, which carries over to Iron Jab. The toxin damage combines with any elemental damage from melee elemental mods.
      • Iron Jab's damage is affected by  Venka Prime's modified Melee Combo Counter.
  • Iron Jab hits add to the Melee Combo Counter.
  • Impact radius is affected by Ability Range, while the staff range is not.
• Iron Jab does not require an enemy target to be cast.
• Enemies affected by Iron Jab are temporarily highlighted.
• Unlike with  Slash Dash, Iron Jab does not gain any benefits if  Primal Fury is active.
• Iron Jab hits can damage enemies across the Rift Plane.
• Iron jab is affected by and can trigger Warframe Arcanes.

Bugs

• Equipping damage on Wukong's melee weapon will increase Iron Jab's force of impact immensely (i.e., sends enemies flying across the map) even if the damage is nonlethal.
• The impact radius doesn't always work, sometimes affecting only the initial target.
