The unruly Wukong wreaks havoc in the System with his immortal trickery and savage beatings, tipping the balance in his favor and his opponents off their feet.
Wukong descended on September 29th, 2015 for the Chinese build, then on November 25th, 2015 for the global build.

Tenno Lab Research
| |||||
Acquisition
Wukong's blueprint and components can be researched through the Tenno Lab of the Clan Dojo. Both research and crafting require numerous Nitain Extracts, obtained almost exclusively from Alerts.
Notes
- Assuming every member of a maximum capacity clan completes all four daily Nitain Extract Alerts, the minimum time required to collect the necessary extracts is ~1.78 days regardless of Clan Tier.
- Alternatively, for a single player in a Ghost clan, the minimum time required is 4.25 days.
- Although Reactor Sabotage caches have a chance to reward Nitain Extracts (and thus, cut down on time), it should not be wholly relied on due to the low chance of Nitain being rewarded.
- In order to fully research and manufacture, assuming the research is done in a ghost clan, the minimum resources required to obtain Wukong are:
- 105,000 Credits
- 26,900 Ferrite
- 13,500 Plastids
- 9,000 Salvage
- 3,100 Polymer Bundles
- 1,400 Circuits
- 1,000 Nano Spores
- 550 Rubedo
- 17 Nitain Extracts
- 2 Neural Sensors
- 2 Neurodes
- 2 Morphics
- 2 Orokin Cells
- 2 Argon Crystals
- 1 Control Module
- Additionally, it will take a minimum of 228 hours (9.5 days) of all research and construction to complete, assuming all components are begun at the same time as soon as they're available
Trivia
- 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 staff that Wukong summons upon using Primal Fury (and to a lesser extent, Iron Jab) 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.
- 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.
