Info

• Wukong equips his legendary Iron Staff, a melee weapon whose reach lengthens by an additional 2% / 5% / 10% / 20% with each strike up to a maximum melee range bonus of 200%. Normal attacks inflict 100 / 125 / 200 / 250 base damage, and wall attacks inflict 167 / 208 / 333 / 417 base damage. Slide attacks inflict 214 / 267.5 / 428 / 535 base damage. Aerial attacks and slam attacks inflict 200 / 250 / 400 / 500 base damage, and slam attacks inflict an additional 150 damage with a 10% status chance within 3 meters. Attacks have a 200% critical damage multiplier with a 25% critical chance and a 25% status chance.
  • Base damage is distributed evenly between , , and .
  • Base damage is affected by Power Strength and the Melee Combo Counter.
  • Primal Fury is also affected by equipped melee mods including:
    • Base damage (e.g., Steel Charge), elemental damage, physical damage, faction damage, channeling (e.g., Life Strike), critical damage, critical chance, status chance, attack speed (e.g., Berserker), and range mods.
    • Primal Fury's base damage uses the following expression when accounting for Power Strength: Modified Base Damage = Base Damage × (1 + Base Damage Bonus) × (1 + Power Strength). As an example, with a maxed Steel Charge, Pressure Point, and Intensify, the normal attacks of a rank-3 Primal Fury will have 250 × 2.8 × 1.3 = 910 base damage.
    • Range mods affect Primal Fury's initial reach but do not affect the radius of slam attacks.
    • Primal Fury is not affected by the equipped melee weapon's stats, weapon augments (e.g., Justice Blades), class-specific mods (e.g., Covert Lethality), or stat-modifying skins (e.g., Manticore).
  • Radial damage from slam attacks diminishes with distance, does not have a critical chance, is not affected by the Melee Combo Counter, and will stagger enemies within range.
  • Ground finishers inflict 300% of the total modified damage from normal attacks. Prompted melee finishers inflict 2400% of the total modified damage from normal attacks as Finisher damage.
    • The damage composition of a ground finisher is the same as a modified normal attack.
    • The finisher multipliers for both attacks are affected by Finishing Touch.
  • Each attack adds to the Melee Combo Counter; however, radial damage from slam attacks does not.
  • Melee range bonus per strike is affected by Power Range, while the maximum melee range bonus is not.
  • Each hit on the Melee Combo Counter corresponds to the number of additive stacks from the melee range bonus (e.g., with five hits on the counter and a maxed Stretch, a rank-3 Primal Fury will have a melee range bonus of 0.20 × 5 × 1.45 = 145%). The melee range bonus will reset when the Melee Combo Counter resets.
    • The melee range bonus stacks additively with melee range mods (e.g., with a maxed Reach equipped on Wukong's melee weapon, five hits on the counter, and a maxed Stretch, a rank-3 Primal Fury will have an additional 0.20 × 5 × 1.45 + 0.6 = 205% melee range).
  • Wukong is unable to use any other weapon while Primal Fury is active but can use all other abilities.
• Primal Fury drains 3 energy per second while active and will remain active until Wukong's energy is depleted, or the ability is deactivated by pressing the ability key again (default 4 ).
  • Activation energy cost is affected by Power Efficiency, and the energy drain is affected by Power Efficiency and Power Duration.
  • Wukong cannot replenish energy using Energy Siphon or Team Energy Restores while Primal Fury is active but can replenish energy using Energy Orbs and Rage.
• While Primal Fury is active, blocking will reduce incoming frontal damage by 60%.
  • Damage reduction is not affected by Power Strength.
• Primal Fury comes installed with its own unique stance. Additional combos will be unlocked as Primal Fury increases in rank.

Weapon

Main article: Iron Staff

Iron Staff is  Wukong's and  Wukong Prime's signature Exalted Weapon, summoned by activating the ability  Primal Fury. The weapon exclusively uses the Primal Fury stance.

---

• This weapon deals primarily  Impact damage.
• Innate and two polarities.
• Combo counter resets when equipped with  Xoris.

Advantages:

• Very high critical chance.
• Highest status chance of all Exalted Melee Weapons.
• Long reach.

Disadvantages:

• Requires energy to activate and keep active.
• Damage isn't affected by the combo counter.
• As an Exalted Weapon, it cannot benefit from, nor contribute to the set bonus of any Set Mods (excluding the Sacrificial Mod Set; the Gladiator Mod Set can still apply if equipped on Warframe, Melee, or Robotic Weapons, and not on the Exalted Weapon itself).
• Cannot equip Melee Combo Counter Mods (except  Drifting Contact), Acolyte Mods (e.g.,  Blood Rush), or Amalgam Mods (e.g.,  Amalgam Organ Shatter).
• Cannot equip Melee Arcane Enhancements.

Stance

Main article: Primal Fury (Stance)

Primal Fury is a unique Stance exclusive to  Iron Staff that can only be acquired and used by activating  Wukong's fourth ability,  Primal Fury. This Stance overrides the Stance on any currently equipped melee weapon for as long as Primal Fury remains active.

A "thrust attack" is a melee strike that intends to hit an enemy with the tip of the blade (the rounded edge of obround melee hitbox). A "360/spin attack" is a sliding sweep attack that hits targets around the player (not always in a 360° arc, but is usually above 180°). A "direct slam attack" is a melee strike that hits a single target at the epicenter of a slam attack. A "radial slam attack" is the area-of-effect component of the melee slam attack. Affected by the Seismic Wave mod. A "ranged attack" is any melee attack that launches a ranged projectile or can hit targets beyond melee range. View Full Legend Average Damage Multiplier per second only applies to single-target DPS calculations. Note that hits marked as "Radial Slam Attack" will not apply at the epicenter of a single target hit so these will not be accounted for in Avg Dmg Multi/s calculations. Combo animation lengths are approximate and are only accurate within a few tenths of a second. Each tile marking in stance preview gifs are 2m apart. Combos labeled with an asterisk (*) are shared between weapons within the same weapon type.

0	-1%	+8%	6
1	-1%	+10%	7
2	-1%	+12%	8
