NotesEdit

• Iron Staff's range is increased based on the Melee Combo Counter's rank.
  • The range bonus wears off if the Melee Combo Counter resets.
  • See Primal Fury for more details.
• The portion of Iron Staff made of energy at the ends of the weapon will be elongated for the duration of the range bonus.

TriviaEdit

• Tying in with Wukong being based off the character of the same name from the novel Journey to the West, the Iron Staff is named after the Monkey King's signature weapon, Ruyi Jingu Bang, which was a magical staff that could change its size on a whim. This is reflected in the way the weapon extends after each kill, as well as the way the Iron Staff transforms into a large cudgel during certain attacks.
• Before the introduction of moddable Exalted Weapons, the stats of Iron Staff depended on the mods equipped on the player's melee weapon.
