Looks like Wukong got the short end of the 17,000 pound stick

yeah right - next you gonna tell me Excalibur was a sword in his first life

"He can turn a single strand of his hair into a clone of himself" Im crediting trib with his new 1

"defeats the Army (...) and Nezha" Wukong is better than Nezha, confirmed.

"Weakest exalted weapon". Tri, I'd like to point you towards Diwata. Titania's sword. It's so bad that even you forgot it existed.

"can you even remember the last time that you saw Wukong in a public setting?" Omg this doesn't age well.

"He can turn a single strand of his hair into a clone of himself" DE: Write that down, write that down!

The Chinese version of the game, I'm guessing wukong kills everything in sight instantly.

Sir I think this video inspired the rework to some degree

Alright who let Triburos get into ancient but actually not that ancient texts again?

*E X P A N D D O N G*

Well, DE did say on their last steam they were planning to rework a few Frames, and Wukong was one on the list. I really hope they do. In the Journey To The West, Sun could summon monkey/avatar/clones. Mirage can summon copies that mimic her, Ash now as ashen clones, and if there's another Frame that clones, I can't think of it. The staff could use a touch up. (Exalted weapon changes are welcome.) The first ability could do more than just a simple poke of his stick. The cloud walk and Defy are fine, I think. If I were to suggest a reworked kit, I'd say: 1; Call Of The Sun----Summon a clone of Wukong to fight with you. Max rank ability allows summoning of three clones. Clones gain power boost when Fourth ability is active. 2; Pole-vault----Same as cloud walk, but ending the ability causes Wukong to slam into the ground, scaling knockdown on how far he traveled. Energy drain increases the more time spent using the ability. Clones also vault, but do not knockdown enemies. 3; Death Defiant----Defy can be granted to allies for a time. Larger energy drain when cast on ally. If clone dies while Wukong has Defy active, clone is revived at the cost of energy. If Wukong dies, the clone dies and must be summoned again. 4; Ruyi Jingu Bang----Exalted staff, enemies are guaranteed to be knocked down or stunned on hit, damage scales for every consecutive hit, regenerates energy for Wukong and allies on kills, finishers also grant slight health boost. Summoned clones gain damage boost. 5; Passive Ability----Staves and Polearms deal increased damage. Combo counter now depletes over time, and lasts longer.

“when was the last time you saw Wukong in a public setting?” a year later, and he’s everywhere

6:18 It‘s not just a wooden stick he grabbed from the ground it was a holy weapon given to him by the Dragon King of the East Sea that is made purely with gold(jin) (forgive me, I'm an Chinese and I become very nerdy when it comes to Chinese mythology)

Funny seeing this video now that Wukong Prime is the most used Warframe in 2020. Thank the Lotus for reworks

Harambe also used defy

I've been mulling around with a wukong rework idea in my head that I think could breathe some new life (pun totally intended) to wukong: Passive: When wukong dies, he turns into stone. After 5 seconds he comes back to life with 30% health, resetting defy stacks in the process. This ability has a 120 second cooldown that cannot be reduced. 1st Ability: 72 (-69) transformations. Wukong can switch to 4 different forms (similar to how you cycle venari's modes or ivara's arrows), giving buffs and debuffs in the process. 1st form: aspect of the tiger, wukong would gain increased melee attack speed and crit chance in exchange for a higher cost in hp from defy stacks (since tigers have a very energy consuming metabolism). 2st form: aspect of the bull, wukong would gain extra armor and knockdown immunity and in exchange have reduced movement speed and useof his 3rd ability restricted( more on that later). 3rd form: aspect of the Enemy, turn into a copy of the targeted enemy for a set duration, dropping enemy aggro (replaces cloud walker as the oh shit button), however you move slowly, can't use your 3rd ability and attacking breaks the illusion. 4th form: aspect of the something, not sure what could be done to make this 4th form fun but balanced, honestly I'm out of ideas. Maybe make it 3 transformations only, maybe make the rework all about those transformations, implement defy into the aspect of the bull and replace the aspect of the enemy with the nimbus, dunno. The aspect of the enemy could also be replaced by a wukong copy similar to Loki's decoy, but able to attack and move around (maybe dealing 50% of wukong's damage or something), however this ability is not part of the 72 transformations so it doesn't really fit thematically. 2nd Ability: Defy. best thing about wukong, wouldn't change it. 3rd ability: Nimbus. call up the nimbus to give wukong a lift, increasing wukong's movement speed and allowing him to avoid ground based traps (arc traps, osprey mines, rollers, etc). Cancelling the nimbus early with launch wukong into the air (sommersault), similar to the primal fury augment. 4th ability: Heavenly Fury. Activate the Ruyi Jingu Bang staff, which replaces Wukong's melee weapon. Rework the primal fury stance so that it can change the size and multiply the staff through combos. Charge attacks release eye blasts with guranteed blast procs for cc/ send out a wave of energy that reveals enemies through solid objects, increasing with power range (eyes of fiery truth). Increase the power of the staff as well.

Anyone else here after Rahetalius's video? YOU ARE THE CHOSEN ONE TRIBUROS. BECOME THE 8TH WUKONG MAIN.

I hope DE sees this and they do something about the poor monkey,I really like his concept but I think it's poorly represented in game.I mean not being able to die is nice and all but that does not mean that his other 3 abilities should be as bad as they are.Anyway great video.

Who's here after the rework lol?

Dammit DE i asked for goku, and you give THIS!!

I mean to be fair, Wukong in the myth is stated to have 1 weakness. Namely, his jerkass, trickster personality and talking outta his ass. That usually gets him in trouble with the gods that actually CAN face him and win. Luckily, Warframe's Wukong doesn't have that glaring weakness, and unfortunately they took away half of the legend's cool shit with it. (He's still a surprisingly fun frame tho, give him a Venka Prime stat stick and go to town. Good Times)

Do one about nezha Id love to learn more about him

"He can turn a single strand of his hair into a clone of himself!" Well well well, what do we have with him now >w>

I always loved wukong, for the fact he cannot die, I solo sorties with him and a god Tonbo Riven (this is why you don't see wukongs in public matches, we do shit solo, we don't need help). He is great with good weapons, if you only invest in efficiency and health. I literally never use his abilities, only his 2 and a really good weapon.

K-drive flying nimbus, guys.

Thing is, wukong is still a useful frame, just for his 2 alone. He's a terribly designed one, with 3 drains, and a useless generic first ability, but he has his niche, and he fills it pretty well

pokey boi

i absolutely love everything about wukong, and his character. Ive read alot of the short stories and, he's just my favorite character to exist in those old type of stories.

i hope he gets a rework soon. I would like to see him get a bunch of clones to be spawned in place of the cloud walker ability.

Community: Defy is Wukong's only good ablity DE: Let's nerf the hell out of that thing

I love me some salami! Sangwitches. Salads. Scrumbled erggz. Use the stuff like every else uses bacon!

Omg, this was amazing! Please, if possible, make more of these lore + Warframe videos. Soo good 👌

One thing you missed about Journey to the West is that the author's ACTUAL self-insert character is just some monk who is chosen for a holy task and basically gifted Sun Wukong as a slave.

See through evil as in lies. He literally sees the truth.

I love coming back to this video after his rework. Ive played plenty of wukong before and after the rework, yet the rework was so amazing that it just makes me feel so happy inside knowing that one of my favorite characters got some of the best treatment this game has to offer. Its so relieving seeing all the bad wukong shit knowing that his fate turned out fortunate, thank you pablo, you are a saint.

Was eating a sandwich (not salami) at 10:38 and almost choked. Thank you sir. Well done

Just found your channel, you're really funny and you make a lot of sense. I'm subscribing.

i dont know why but this is my favourite video of yours

I only use Wukong to pretend to be Goku. Using Wukong with anything but the staticor is a crime.

I just love that voice while commentating about the story😂😂😂 Love the vid❤ and making me make Wukdong😄

I know just about everything there is to know Warframe wise lol...but there's something about the comedy of your videos that make it funny to watch. GG bud lol

Woah. I didn't expect you to talk about the character Wukong but DAMN I'm in love with him now! Your points on Wukong were all very valid, but especially the one about how forgettable he is, and especially for DE. The poor fella has been long overdue for some attention.

This just came up as my vids were playing through after watching people discuss the leak of wudong prime. Gg

When I first got my hands on Wu Kong I was like "Damn, this dude needs more love" and so he became on of my favorites

on the bright side, bringing Wukong into a capture when your trying to film a misty scene is pretty helpful... Starring X as X, X as X, and Wukong!, as that fog in the background.

Nice editing dude. Love your humor lol

haven’t finished the video yet but i *love* wukong with all my heart

Thanks for the uploads! Great content! Seems like you've improved the quality of your voice recording when I compared it with the Limbo Guide video. Not much "pop" coming out. However, I would like to suggest applying some de-essing /desibilizing on the voice recording (edit: plus a pop filter to your set up). The "s" and "t" are very prominent along with a few occassional "pops". Anyways, thanks again and hoping to see another upload soon.

Yes; I can remember the last time I saw a Wukong in a public setting: It was a few days ago on Ophelia and there were two Wukongs that seemed to have joined entirely independently of one another (plus I sometimes use him so I don't have to do anything to keep my health up when levelling new non-melee weapons).

I main wukong because I love his story from journey to the West that much, it's just so cool reading a book about a monkey who just wanted immortality so he could party with his friends forever. so throughout the entire video I was basically shouting preach, really hope DE does something

A lot of the changes were stuff that could be found in this video, the new passive, the clone, cloud walker not sucking

"Can you remember the last time you saw a wukong in a public setting? Probably not often" Oh boy, that aged poorly

A year later, now he’s good. Lmao

Coming here from the future was a TRIP Pretty much just invert every statement about (Warframe) Wukong's popularity/power and you're good.

Trib: the rework won’t be that good One year later Omega rework

You never fail to make me laugh ;)

Btw about the staff. He literally got it from the dragon king of the sea himself and ooh that staff was actually as long as the ocean’s depth cuz it was used as a measuring tool for the ocean back when it was just created.

In the chinese build, Wukong's staff extends to the size of the entire map of draco. I saw some gameplay of that and it was insane.

And here was me thinking that Inaros had the best "not dying" ability...

I know this is from years ago but, With the whole riding on a cloud to drive by people, I think Trib inspired the idea for Yareli.

Give him the top from twilight princess, but it's a cloud and way faster

Well now that you've made this video, they won't forget.

The staff held up the ocean and wu kong just took it

Its also the best form of invisibility because you can move anywhere :P

Megan : okay , we release wu kong prime Steve : wow , that is bad for business ... also no body will farm it

As a wukong main, I can assure you Only his 2 and 3 are useful But they're pretty damn useful

I guess I’m late but I think it was a “mist” opportunity

I legit cannot remember seeing a wukong more than once in a public match, since the day he got released. I am not surprised if people actually didn't know he existed within the game lol.

Wokong is one of my favorite characters and if you build him right he can easily bring you into the high level content. In my opinion

My first recommended then after watching this I saw that the next was the rework cideo

Fucking love Journey to the West. TV show of my childhood.

Personal thought for rework P: like defy but has a percent chance to trigger but no cool down or one time go 1: still the jab but buff aoe and range 2: a hologram of wukong the can attack enemy’s but can’t really take damage and deal like half 3: wukong rides on a nimbus cloud with improved speed and can move freely along x, y, and z 4: still summon the staff but increase its damage and have it boost his 1

bruh if the actual wukong comes to warframe the old war would ended in like 5 minutes, only fuckin buddha gautama can stop that madlad

Ooh my dear god, turning into a robot Tiger might be your single best idea

the eyes of truth thing means he sees through illusions. demons cant disguise themselves to him. overly sarcastic has a summary of the tale.

This is the perfect archive of legend long gone. that wukong used to suck.

LOL, I'm now curious about how the rework is gonna go after watching this 🤣

His nr 3 should be Mist (area effect) that Blind's enemys in the area for some time.

Wukong is a trap confirmed.

Now lets hope the re-work will do him right

Wukong staff hittin while riding nymbus hell yeah I'd pay plat for that

"what will DE do later on huh? oh shit yeah the monkey!" dude im dying hahah!

"Oh shit, I forgot about the monkey"(Triburos)

THAT DIGIMON OST noticed at 3:30

From this video alone wokong prime will be godly

He's not just a character in a book lol. He's also a deity in in many Asian cultures. For a dumbed down version of the "Journey to the West" stories, I recommend watching The Monkey King one and two. Very good.

Hopefully this gets the attention of all mighty DE, Wongo really needs to be changed big time.

It would be a nice idea to check every warframe. I mean, just to cover what inspired DE to make them that way.

*Boy did the intro age like fine milk.*

Yeah fate go has a journey to the West event.

0:50 Wukong is like Hercules but as a Bard instead of a Barbarian.

Which reminds me once more, that Wukong existed.

I think his 3 would be better as a Disguise ability. He targets an enemy, presses 3, then transforms into a copy of that enemy for some duration. When he dies as that enemy, or the duration of his time runs out, he transforms back. In addition, enemies will not attack him in that form, treating him as simply one of their allies.

"Drive-by staffing people" I'm stealing this expression.

I love the frame and the original

The clone aspect is doable now that umbra is out and he operates like a specter when you are in Operator mode. Wukong's clone could work on duration and be autonomous like a specter. Would be a great 1, keep defy, and his 4 would need a serious buff. For his cloud walker they could add elemental Damage to it as he moves around it would add AOE ability to his kit.

I like him because you can cheese almost anything by being perma-immortal, as long as no nully bully comes and kicks your teeth in.

Garuda and Wukong are both based off characters from hindu/buddhist mythology. Garuda is a sort of hype man of Vishnu, a legit badass mofo in the lore and has an entire saga of his own. Wukong, is obviously based on Sun Wukong, who himself is based off on Hanuman - is the living embodiment of badassery and i love how Warframe carried the predominant factor of both versions that is - "I am a bloody well Impossible to Kill so just don't bother." I'm a new player and I'm enjoying the everliving hell outta the game, mostly because all of you tenno are amazing and super helpful and I love y'all.
