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 45 Cred 45 worth of Nightwave offerings. Furthermore, crafting Wukong requires 6 Nitain Extract for an additional 30 Cred 30.
- Although Reactor Sabotage caches have a chance to reward Nitain Extracts (and thus, cut down on  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 Iron Staff that Wukong summons upon using Primal Fury Primal Fury (and to a lesser extent Defy 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 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 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 Excalibur Umbra Prime and Nezha 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 is Vaulted.

Wukong Prime's Cloud Walker Cloud Walker features additional lightning effects:
- When Wukong Prime disappears into a cloud, there will be a lightning strike up into the air.
- When he reappears, there will be several lightning strikes outward from his body onto the ground around him.

Trivia

Wukong Prime was officially revealed and released during TennoCon 2019.
Wukong Prime's tail is slimmer and longer than that of his non-Primed counterpart.
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.

Passive

Wukong Wukong has learned five 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 avoid entering bleedout upon taking fatal damage, invulnerable for 2 seconds, restore 50% health, and provide a unique buff.

Primal Forces: 300% elemental damage for 60 seconds.
Heavenly Cloak: Invisibility for 30 seconds.
- Invisibility does not reveal Wukong when he attacks.
Cosmic Armour: Invulnerable for 30 seconds.
- Invulnerability is removed when entering and exiting Operator form (bug).
Monkey Luck: Enemies killed yield extra loot drops for 60 seconds.
- Stacks with other loot abilities that loot while alive (Ivara Ivara's Prowl Prowl), loot while petrified (Atlas Atlas's Ore Gaze Ore Gaze), and loot corpse (Nekros Nekros's Desecrate Desecrate and Chesa Kubrow's Retrieve Retrieve). However, it does not stack with other loot on death abilities (Hydroid Hydroid's Pilfering Swarm Pilfering Swarm, Khora Khora's Pilfering Strangledome Pilfering Strangledome, and Wukong Wukong's Monkey Luck passive)).
Sly Alchemy: Orbs 4x more effective for 60 seconds.
All passive values are not affected by Mods.
When the passive activates, the three randomly selected buffs are briefly displayed as buff icons at the top center part of the HUD. Passive buff icons and timers are displayed beside the shield and health bars.
These passive buffs cannot be dispelled even if Wukong's abilities becomes disabled, such as falling out of bounds or crossing a Nullifier bubble.

		Misc:∞ (twin lifespan) 2 x (damage multiplier) ? m (twin recall range)

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.
- Health multiplier affects both the health and shields of the twin.

- 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.

- 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.
Ability Synergy:
- When activating Cloud Walker 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 Enveloping Cloud affects the twin, turning it invisible for its duration.
- When activating Defy Defy, the twin will also use Defy, gaining the same increased Threat Level, invulnerability, damage reflection, and armor bonus.
- When activating Primal Fury Primal Fury, the twin will also arm itself with the Iron Staff 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.

Info

Wukong engages a defiant stance while priming his Iron Staff 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 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. The spin can be executed earlier by pressing the ability key again (default 3 ) or using melee attack.

- Damage multiplier is affected by Ability Strength.
- Swing radius is affected by Ability Range.
