Acquisition

Wukong's blueprint can be purchased from the Tenno Research Lab interface in the Clan Dojo once it has been researched. It costs 35,000‍35,000 to replicate (purchase) the main blueprint and 15,000‍15,000 for each component blueprint for a total of 80,000‍80,000.

Notes

Wukong's research requires 11 Nitain Extract. This will require 45‍45 worth of Nightwave offerings. Furthermore, crafting Wukong requires 6 Nitain Extract for an additional 30‍30.
- Although Reactor Sabotage caches have a chance to reward Nitain Extracts (and thus, cut down on ‍ 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 two frames to feature a unique version of the animation, Equinox being the only other frame respectively.
Wukong can give himself a handshake by activating the Handshake emote while his Celestial Twin is close by.

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.

Five Levels of Immortality

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's Prowl), loot while petrified ( Atlas's Ore Gaze), and loot corpse ( Nekros's Desecrate and Chesa Kubrow's Retrieve). However, it does not stack with other loot on death abilities ( Hydroid's Pilfering Swarm and Khora's Pilfering Strangledome).
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.

		Range:N/A
		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.
  - If Wukong has no melee weapon but has both a primary and secondary weapon, the twin will only use the primary weapon.
- If Wukong wields a melee weapon, the twin will use Wukong's last primary or secondary weapon equipped prior to switching.

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.
Ability Synergy:

Main article: Celestial Stomp

Celestial Stomp is a Warframe Augment Mod for Wukong that commands his Celestial Twin to perform a slam attack for an energy cost when the ability button (default 1 ) is held, suspending nearby enemies in the air.

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.

- Stun radius is affected by Ability Range.

- Cloud movement speed is affected by Sprint Speed.
Cloud Walker does not trigger defenses like Sensor Bars, Laser Barriers, and Security Cameras.

Rank	Range	Duration	Cost
0	2.5m	8s	6
1	3m	10s	7

Wukong equips his legendary Iron Staff as his melee Exalted Weapon. Normal attacks inflict 100 / 125 / 200 / 250 damage and can strike enemies within ? meters.
- Damage is distributed between 68% Impact damage and 32% Slash damage.

Attacks have a 200% critical multiplier with a 25% critical chance and a 30% status chance.
Damage is affected by Ability Strength, the Melee Combo Counter and most mods.
- As an example, with a maxed Pressure Point, Shocking Touch and Intensify, the normal attacks of a rank-3 Primal Fury will deal
  $Base Damage \times (1 + Damage Mods) \times (1 + Elemental Mods) \times (1 + Strength Mods) =$
  $250 \times (1 + 1.2) \times (1 + 0.9) \times (1 + 0.3) = 1,358.5$ damage.

  - physical damage (e.g., Jagged Edge)
  - elemental damage (e.g., Shocking Touch)

  - Condition Overload

  - Shattering Impact
    - While officially Set Mod bonuses do not affect Exalted Weapons (with the exception of the Sacrificial Mod Set), the Gladiator Mod Set can still apply if equipped on Melee or Robotic Weapons (i.e. Helios/Helios Prime's Deconstructor/ Deconstructor Prime), and not on the Exalted Weapon itself.
- Melee range mods affect Primal Fury's initial reach but do not affect the radius of slam attacks.
- Iron Staff can not be equipped with weapon augments (e.g., Justice Blades), class-specific mods (e.g., Covert Lethality), Melee Combo Counter Mods (except Drifting Contact), Acolyte Mods (e.g., Blood Rush), or Amalgam Mods).
- Riven Mods are not generated for Iron Staff.
- 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.
- Wukong cannot replenish energy using Energy Siphon, Energy Vampire, Rift Plane's energy regeneration, Energizing Dash or Squad Energy Restores while Primal Fury is active but can replenish energy using Energy Orbs, Orokin Void Death Orb energy restores, Arcane Energize, Rage, or Hunter Adrenaline.
- Primal Fury's energy drain is not converted into shields by Augur Mods.
Primal Fury is affected by and can trigger Warframe and Exodia Arcanes.
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.

Main article: Iron Staff

Iron Staff is Wukong's and Wukong Prime's signature Exalted Weapon that can only be used upon activating the ability Primal Fury. The weapon exclusively uses the Primal Fury 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.

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

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.

Wukong can be equipped with the following items:

Cosmetics

Augments

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:

Loot while alive: Ivara
Loot petrified: Atlas
Loot on death: Wukong, Khora, Hydroid. An enemy can only be killed once, they can’t ‘die’ multiple times.
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/

Sprint increased from .95 to 1.0.
Improved his Primary/Secondary Energy blend on his Helmet tails.

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.
