CODEX

A primal warrior with the heart of a trickster.

This is Wukong, the enduring, the swift.

Everybody's got something to hide, Tenno. Except Wukong.

—Lotus

Release Date: November 25th, 2015

Descending from the empyrean eternal, the unruly primal saint Wukong wreaks havoc in the System with his immortal trickery and savage beatings. Divide and conquer with twice yourselves, then journey unseen under a cloak of clouds. Endure through any assault with arrogant poise, donning the legendary staff to tip the balance in his favor, and his opponents off their feet. Wukong embarked on a new journey in Update 17.12 (2015-11-25) and was joined by his twin in Update 25.2 (2019-06-19).

Acquisition

Wukong's blueprints can be researched from the Tenno Lab in the dojo.

Notes

• Wukong's research requires 11 Nitain Extract. This will require  45x Cred worth of Nightwave offerings. Furthermore, crafting Wukong requires 6 Nitain Extract for an additional  30x Cred.
  • Although Reactor Sabotage caches have a chance to reward Nitain Extracts (and thus, cut down on  ​x Cred costs), it should not be wholly relied on due to the low chance of Nitain being rewarded.

Trivia

• Wukong descended on September 29th, 2015 for the Chinese build, then on November 25th, 2015 for the global build.
• Wukong is named after Sun Wukong, (also known as the Monkey King), one of the main characters in the highly influential classic Chinese story Journey to the West. The majority of the Warframe's power set is based upon the Monkey King's lore.
  • The variable-size  Iron Staff that Wukong summons upon using  Primal Fury (and to a lesser extent  Defy) is based off the Ruyi Jingu Bang, the Monkey King's signature weapon capable of changing its size at whim. It was one of several treasures bestowed upon the Monkey King after he defeated the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas.
  •  Cloud Walker is a reference to the Jingdouyun (which translates to "Rolling Cloud"), a skill learned from his master when he was young.
  •  Celestial Twin is a reference to the Monkey King's ability to clone himself through his magical hairs.
  • Five Levels of Immortality is a reference to the Monkey King becoming immortal through five different means.
• Wukong is the second of three Warframes that were initially introduced as timed exclusives to Warframe China, the others being  Excalibur Umbra Prime and  Nezha.
• The line in Lotus' summary, "Everybody's got something to hide, Tenno. Except Wukong," is a reference to the song "Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey", by the Beatles.
• Wukong has never had official alternate look (skin), except from TennoGen, until the release of Wukong Prime.
• When Equipped with Wisp's Agile animation, and unarmed, he will summon his Celestial Twin. He is the 2nd of three frames to feature a unique version of the animation, Equinox and Xaku being the only other frames respectively.
• Wukong can give himself a handshake by activating the Handshake emote while his Celestial Twin is close by.

• Wukong Prime's  Cloud Walker features additional lightning effects:
  • When Wukong Prime disappears into a cloud, there will be a lightning strike up into the air.

• Wukong's Prime Access contains various references to the Chinese novel Journey to the West, from where Wukong is best known.
  • It comes bundled with the Tang Fur Pattern for Kubrow and Sanzang Kubrow Armor in reference to Tang Sanzang, who Wukong aids in his journey to retrieve the Buddhist sutras from the West in the aforementioned novel.
  • Wukong Prime's signature Syandana is named Jindou Prime in reference to the Jīndǒuyún (筋斗雲), the technique that allows him to ride or leap through clouds.

• Info
• Augment

Info

• Wukong splits himself into two corporeal forms, creating a loyal Specter armed with all of his weapons. Celestial Twin attracts enemy attention as he follows Wukong, attacks with either gun or melee dependent on the player's currently held weapon, and has a health multiplier of 1.5 / 1.6 / 1.75 / 2; the twin remains at Wukong's side indefinitely until killed or manually dispelled at any time by holding down the ability key (default 1 ).
  • Health multipliers are affected by Ability Strength.
  • Twin Warframe and weapons stats are affected by Wukong's equipped Mods.
    • Will not utilize Galvanized mod kill bonuses, as the bonus is tied to a buff only players can get.
  • Health multiplier affects both the health and shields of the twin.
  • Celestial Twin specter AI is designed to aggressively attack nearby enemies while also staying close to Wukong's proximity. It will not attempt to parry enemy attacks with its melee weapon, and will also frequently teleport to reposition near Wukong.
  • Celestial Twin will have swirling aura around his body (affected by energy color).
• While active, Wukong can command his twin to prioritize a target on the aiming reticle by tapping the ability key (default 1 ), leaving a mark above the target for no energy cost. Once commanded, the twin will seek and destroy the target, dealing increased damage to it with a multiplier of 2.
  • Damage multiplier is not affected by mods.
  • The twin will teleport to his mark if it cannot reach the target after several attempts.
• Celestial Twin will cycle its weapons depending on Wukong's equipped weapon, if he has them equipped in his arsenal.
  • If Wukong wields a primary or secondary weapon, or an Arch-gun called down by an Archweapon Deployer, the twin will use a melee weapon.
    • Twin only uses the default/neutral combo of a melee's stance.
    • If Wukong has no melee weapon but has both a primary and secondary weapon, the twin will only use the primary weapon.
    • If Wukong is dual-wielding a one-handed secondary weapon with a Glaive weapon, the twin will only use the Glaive, and as a melee weapon. The twin will never throw the Glaive.
  • If Wukong wields a melee weapon, the twin will use Wukong's last primary or secondary weapon equipped prior to switching.
    • Twin is immune to self-staggering effects when using AoE weapons.
    • If Wukong has a one-handed secondary weapon and a Glaive equipped, then wields only the melee weapon, the twin will still use Wukong's last primary or secondary weapon equipped prior to switching. If this weapon was the secondary weapon, Wukong will visually dual-wield the Glaive and secondary weapon, but will only use the secondary weapon.
  • If Wukong has only one weapon equipped, the twin will use that weapon.
  • On weapons with Alternate Fire, only the primary mode will be used.
  • The twin cannot use an Arch-gun.
  • The twin is not affected by Sortie weapon restrictions.
  • The twin can trigger weapon-related Warframe Arcanes and Exodia Arcanes, i.e. on critical condition, upon meeting the requirements.
• If a Celestial Twin crosses a Nullifier bubble, it will not immediately die, but will instead take constant health damage.
  • Wukong himself crossing a Nullifier bubble has no effect on the Twin.
• If a Celestial Twin falls out of bounds, it will immediately die.
• If Wukong's abilities become disabled, such as by the Stalker or falling out of bounds, the twin will immediately die.
  • Equipping Archwing during Landscape mission, which also renders abilities disabled, will kill the twin as well.
• The twin will not be affected by  Stalk or  Ghost, only Wukong will become invisible.
• Ability Synergy:
  • When activating  Cloud Walker, the twin becomes invulnerable to damage and receives its health restore per meter travelled bonus. After Cloud Walker ends, Wukong's twin is teleported to his side instantly.
    •  Enveloping Cloud affects the twin, turning it invisible for its duration.
  • When activating  Defy, the twin will also use Defy, gaining the same increased Threat Level, invulnerability, damage reflection, and armor bonus.
  • When activating  Primal Fury, the twin will also arm itself with the  Iron Staff.
• When using Emotes with a Celestial Twin, the twin will perform the same emote. Wukong can also perform Handshakes with his own twin.
• Triggering the Inactivity Penalty will cause the twin to cease all activity and remain immobile until player activity resumes.
• Kills by the twin are ability kills. Affinity from these go to the warframe, not the weapon that the twin is using.

• Tips & Tricks

Info

• Wukong disappears into a cloud and turns invisible for 2 seconds. In this form, Wukong moves at 30 meters per second, gaining vertical and horizontal flight capabilities using the movement (W A S D ), crouch (Ctrl ), and jump (Spacebar ) hotkeys, similar to Archwing Maneuvers but without the Afterburner. While traveling in the cloud, Wukong is invulnerable to damage, cleanses all Status Effects, and restores 0.5% / 0.6% / 0.8% / 1% health per meter travelled. Enemies that come within the cloud's radius of 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 meters are temporarily stunned for 2 seconds. Cloud Walker can be manually cancelled by pressing the ability key again (default 2 ) or by attacking.
  • Health restore per meter travelled is affected by Ability Strength.
  • Cloud duration is affected by Ability Duration.
  • Stun radius is affected by Ability Range.
  • Stun duration is not affected by mods.
  • Stunned enemies are open to melee finishers (default X ).
  • Unalerted enemies staggered by Cloud Walker remain unalerted during the stagger animation, and thus can engage Stealth Kill Affinity Bonuses when killed.
  • Health restore affects companions such as Kubrows, Kavats, and MOAs, but only if Link Health is equipped.
    • As Link mods cannot be equipped on companions, Cloud Walker's healing has no effect on Sentinels.
  • Cloud movement speed is affected by movement speed buffs such as from  Dispatch Overdrive or from infusing  Saryn's  Molt onto Wukong, but is not affected by Sprint Speed, such as from  Infested Mobility.
• Cloud Walker does not trigger defenses like Sensor Bars, Laser Barriers, and Security Cameras.
  • Cloud Walker can pass through Spy vault's defenses without triggering an alarm.
• Ability Synergy: When activating Cloud Walker with an active  Celestial Twin, the twin becomes invulnerable to damage and receives its health restore per meter travelled bonus. After Cloud Walker ends, Wukong's twin is teleported to his side instantly.
• Wukong cannot cast other abilities, perform parkour Maneuvers or general interactions while channeling this ability.

• Info

Info

• Wukong engages a defiant stance while priming his  Iron Staff, becoming invulnerable to damage and new Status Effects, increasing his Threat Level to taunt enemies into attacking him, and reducing his movement speed by 50% for 2 seconds. Any damage Wukong takes while in this stance is absorbed and multiplied by 4 / 5 / 6 / 7.5, then stored. After the invulnerability period expires, Wukong cleanses himself of any negative status effects, spins in place while elongating his staff and deals ? / ? / ? / 250 damage plus the stored damage as  Impact damage to all enemies within a radius of 7 / 8 / 10 / 12 meters. The spin has 100% critical chance and 2x critical damage. The spin can be executed earlier by pressing the ability key again (default 3 ) or using melee attack.
  • Invulnerability duration is affected by Ability Duration.
  • Damage multiplier is affected by Ability Strength.
  • Swing radius is affected by Ability Range.
  • Status cleanse and movement speed penalty are not affected by mods.
  • Enemies hit by the staff are ragdolled away in the direction of the swing.
• After executing his spin, Wukong gains a variable Armor bonus lasting for 15 / 18 / 20 / 25 seconds or until Defy is recast; Defy armor bonus value depends on the damage absorbed during the taunt, with the stored amount multiplied by 0.8 / 1 / 1.2 / 1.5 times to grant a minimum of 50 armor points, up to a maximum of 1,500 armor points.
  • Armor duration is affected by Ability Duration.
  • Armor multiplier is affected by Ability Strength.
  • Armor bonus is based on damage absorbed before the damage multiplier is applied.
  • Minimum and maximum armor bonuses are not affected by mods.
  • Armor bonus is removed if Defy is recast before it expires.
  • While the armor bonus is active, a stylized armor bonus counter appears above the ability icons.
• Ability Synergy: When activating Defy with an active  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.
• Subsuming Wukong to the Helminth will offer Defy and its augments to be used by other Warframes.
  • However, Subsumed Defy's armor bonus is capped at 750.

    Base Damage × (1 + Damage Mods) × (1 + Elemental Mods) × (1 + Strength Mods) =
    250 × (1 + 1.2) × (1 + 0.9) × (1 + 0.3) = 1,358.5 damage.

  • Riven Mods are not generated for Iron Staff.
  • The combo counter will reset when equipped with  Xoris.
  • Primal Fury's combo counter decay is affected by Power Spike.
  • 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 Finishers inflict 2400% of the total modified damage from normal attacks as  True 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.
• Ability Synergy: When activating Primal Fury with an active  Celestial Twin, the twin will also equip the Iron Staff.
• Primal Fury drains 5 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.
  • Activation energy cost is affected by Ability Efficiency, and the energy drain is affected by Ability Efficiency and Ability Duration.

  • Primal Fury's energy drain is not converted into shields by Augur Mods.
• While Primal Fury is active, Iron Staff is the only melee weapon Wukong can use. However, his other abilities can still be cast normally.
• Primal Fury comes installed with its own unique stance. Additional combos will be unlocked as Primal Fury increases in rank.
• The ends of Iron Staff have portions made out of energy.
  • These portions are affected by Wukong's energy color.
  • With the range bonus active, these portions are elongated.
• Primal Fury's attacks can damage enemies across the Rift Plane.

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.

Augment

Main article: Primal Rage

Primal Rage is a Warframe Augment Mod for  Wukong that increases the critical chance of  Primal Fury with every kill, up to a maximum of 150%. The additional critical chance gradually falls off after  Wukong stops killing for 5 seconds.

Rank	Decay per second	Critical chance per kill	Cost
0	-1%	+8%	6
1	-1%	+10%	7
2	-1%	+12%	8
3	-1%	+15%	9

Tips & Tricks

• It is preferable to use  Steel Charge over  Growing Power when modding for pure damage as the former adds more damage to Primal Fury than the latter.
  • Even with Steel Charge equipped, using  Power Drift will provide a larger increase in damage than  Coaction Drift.

Xoris Interaction Changes

Certain Warframe Abilities and Exalted weapons will now reset the Melee Combo Counter only if the Xoris is being used. The overwhelming Damage output of certain Warframe Abilities was not our intention with an infinite Melee Combo weapon, and the conversation of ‘Xoris or you’re doing it wrong’ is greatly restrictive in terms of player choice.

Warframe Abilities / Exalted Warframe weapons affected by this are:

• Wukong Iron Staff

The full breakdown can be read here.

Update 25.8 (2019-10-01)

Warframe Looting Ability Changes

Warframe Loot Abilities will again be able to yield multiple-drops from already looted corpses. A single enemy can be looted by at most one Ability from each group - which is how it worked before, this just clarifies it. Warframe Looting Abilities have been split into separate functionality groups for clarity:

1. Loot while alive: Ivara
2. Loot petrified: Atlas
3. Loot on death: Wukong, Khora, Hydroid. An enemy can only be killed once, they can’t ‘die’ multiple times.
4. Loot corpse: Nekros, Chesa

These changes stem from a bigger conversation that was addressed yesterday regarding not providing closure on the Loot Frame changes from The Jovian Concord. All the information can be found here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1131506-the-mod-booster-and-free-to-play/

Update 25.2 (2019-06-19)

WUKONG REVISITED!

To celebrate the changes, all players who currently own Wukong will receive 3 Forma (per Wukong owned)!

General Wukong Changes

• Health increased from 100 to 150 (at max rank increased from 300 to 450).
• Shield decreased from 125 to 100 (at max rank decreased from 375 to 300).
  • Why? Since Wukong’s new kit now involves an Armour buff, relying more on his Health will enable a better synergy.
• Energy increased from 100 to 120 (at max rank 150 to 180).
• Sprint increased from .95 to 1.0.
• Improved his Primary/Secondary Energy blend on his Helmet tails.
• Updated Wukong’s Arsenal Ability videos to reflect his Revisited abilities.
• Replaced existing Wukong tips with tips based on his revisited abilities.

PASSIVE

5 Levels of Immortality: Wukong has learned 5 techniques to avoid death whenever he takes fatal damage. Wukong will be randomly allowed 3 of these techniques per mission to avoid death 3 times. Each technique will make Wukong invulnerable for 2 seconds, restore 50% health, and provide a unique buff.

• Primal Forces: Triple elemental damage for 60 seconds
• Heavenly Cloak: Invisibility for 30 seconds
• Cosmic Armour: Invulnerable for 30 seconds
• Monkey Luck: Extra loot drops for 60 seconds
• Sly Alchemy: Orbs 4x more effective for 60 seconds

Celestial Twin

• Replacing Iron Jab, Celestial Twin will allow for Wukong to shed a part of himself to call a supporting clone into action. The clone will attack from range while Wukong uses melee, or will use melee while Wukong uses range.
• Press ability again to command Wukong’s clone to attack a specific target with increased damage.
• Wukong’s clone will remain until it runs out of life.

Cloud Walker

• Wukong evaporates into a fast-moving cloud of mist that will temporarily daze and paralyze enemies in his path. While in his cloud of mist, Cloud Walker has the additional mechanic of healing Wukong and his clone.
• His movement can be interrupted by attacking at any time.
• Cloud Walker has a much faster cast time which will no longer hold Wukong in place.
• Wukong will no longer trigger laser traps or doors while using Cloud Walker.
• Energy cost for Cloud Walker has been lowered.

Defy

• Defy will now taunt enemies while Wukong and his clone gain temporary invulnerability with reduced movement speed. All damage is captured, stored, and dealt back in a single furious long range staff spin attack.
• Based on the amount of damage prevented by Defy, Wukong and his clone will receive a temporary armour buff.
• Press ability again to trigger spin early.

Primal Fury

• Primal Fury will feature a new specialized and streamlined combo for Wukong’s legendary Iron Staff. As a preview of the upcoming Melee 3.0 system, Wukong’s Primal Fury uses new combo routes with simplified inputs providing a safe, limited space to try out coming releases.
• Damage for Wukong and his clone is redistributed for a more powerful feel, with a much higher status chance, larger base range, and some slash.
• Casting no longer holds Wukong in place. With new energy requirements, the cast cost of Primal Fury was lowered but cast drain was increased to be turned off and on as desired.
• Animation has been trimmed.
• The range of Wukong’s Iron Staff is always long, comparable to top range Zaws, and no longer needs to build combo to scale range.

Wukong Augment Changes

• Celestial Twin Augment: Replacing Iron Vault, Wukong will command his clone to perform a wide radius slam, suspending enemies.
• Primal Rage: Increased cap from 100 to 150%, increased bonus per kill from 10% to 15%. Drain now scales with duration, so the higher Wukong’s duration, the slower it drains, and when Wukong gets a kill the drain stops for 5 seconds.
