Minor note, during the initial release of Wukong 2.0, players opted to use both decaying and health key to get the Monkey Luck passive as fast as possible to farm for more kuva. Support me directly via Patreon! www.patreon.com/NovaUmbral And Join the Discord: discord.gg/RUKf8PVn2r
Old Kong was pretty funny back then. Imagine my surprise when I came back and I pressed 1 expecting extendo stick and suddenly there was two of me. Glad to see this video on the monkey king. Great work!
So funny I used him like crazy back then then they changed him I was like oh cool for a bit and never used him again now I use rhino Guess I just like immortality
as a mythology nerd, the rework just made him more accurate. unfortunately, that means he's utterly broken in every sense of the word. just like his inspiration.
@@SpottedHares it gets worse actually. Taoist immorality, name erased from the book of the dead, peaches of immortality, wine of immorality, pills of immortality. That's five. Wukong is the original OP anime protagonist.
Wukong is the pure manifestation of the perfect rework. Wukog shows that DE can make miraculous things they just have an inexplicable ignorance of parts that is in need of a rework.
@@clementfermn6711it's probably coming soon. Our Lord and Savior Pablo asked the community about hudroid likes and dislikes just like he did for grendel before his rework
A long time I didn't want to play Wukong because I never really liked his kit, but when I tried him he instantly became my favourite pick for most missions.
I can see why,but a still call him "monkey fuck" in memorie of when he was garbage,but yeah great frame I am just a hipster that docent like the monkey
I swear Wukong has to be the frame I see the most in public lobbies. I think the frame I see the least of is, surprisingly enough, Limbo. I see more Grendels than I see Limbos.
@@LeyKT False, eximus don't really hurt him much other than their aura abilities, and most of the time those aren't a problem either. He is still a really strong frame but he takes a lot of weird stuff to work close to what other frames do, and even then people suck at running with him so they often make the few who do play him feel like crap for no reason.
Wukong is too much fun! Your telling me the ability to fly through security missions, bonk grenieer with a giant stick, have a clone meme dance with you, and then eat damage... what's not to love
Youre point? DR does not mean much couse even with 99% DR. You still get one shotted couse, 1% of like 1mil dmg is still enough to one shot you. Thats why people go over dmg negation/mitigation then straight up tanking the damage in high levels.
He's been my main carry ever since playing Warframe during near the 1st prime resurgence announced on November a few yrs ago if I recall. Been sticking with Kuva Nukor clone and it was fun. Now I wanna update his gear because of this vid cuz it brings good memories of "Reject humanity, return to monke"
You forgot to mention that building Duration on Wukong can make his Could Walker quite extremely fun. Also allows you to fly on Open Worlds since the Cloud's base speed coupled with up to 9 seconds duration bears the question: who needs a Archwing Launcher? (One might need Energy Aura or Zenurik Wellspring to make it even better)
Wukong is so good that thanks to him, I was able to solo play and farm on Railjack the first two months. Granted I still had to be careful to not have my railjack on plain sight and it would get destroyed but Cloud Walker was a life saver for traveling fast inside the ships
Mesa and Wisp are my favorite frames, but Wukong is the one I pick whenever I need to do an activity I despise because I want its rewards and just need to get it over with. Wukong is not neccesarily the most fun frame to play, but he is the best at getting boring or tedious stuff done quickly and safely and that's why I think he has remained the No. 1 most popular frame for 3 years in a row. If anything, it should serve as evidence to DE that maybe they need to rework some of their missions/activities (cough cough Index) to be more fun and rewarding to make our time investment actually worth it.
It is obvious why. Your twin is not so good now as in the past. So it is really hard to use wukong in the steelpath missions now. Of course you can in some cases use wukong and his cloudwalker and use him for spy missions but if you need survivability and killing potential it is just average warframe now.Reason? Weak Exalted weapon and trouble with munition because your twin uses your ammo. @@GhostsGraveYT
Defy is definitely one of my favorite subsumes with rhino, since not only it synergies exceptionally well with iron skin mechanics and gameplay (due to both being dmg absorb-type scaling abilities), roar also boost the final dmg of the nuke, making it deal more dmg than it should be. Wukong can also abuse this well though. Plus free 500 armor, good for general iron skin usage. Wukong is pretty effective for what he does though. Plus funni mini stomp in disposal, inheriting the cc power of a rhino stomp to an extent, even with few noticeable downsides (not casting speed moddable, 5m range loss, fixed 6s + 2s duration, hard to manipulate cc functionality of stomp type cc due to no time indicator and mechanics to deal with, loss the ability to resummon clone, and can't decide where the cc lands which can be detrimental), it is enough to make it a great cc.
Having Wu clone then summons the spectre, crew and some other summonings, and then bam. I am army. Suddenly I don't feel that alone anymore.| Best rework ever.
He was my second Warframe I played after Excalibur. Then I got umbra with the umbral mods and started using him more with gloom. I’m now getting back to playing wukong more. I put roar in place of 3 and kept everything else the same. Absolute beast in every mission. Love his mobility!
Wukong is one if my absolute favorite frames even though I play him diffrent from others. I have two wukongs. I have one with autohack ability and max efficiency so i can spam through any spy misson with ease. My 2nd is a wukong with his ultimate in mind. I put empower over defy, and giving both my clone and my ult and 50% perm increase to damage while being able to go inv and heal at anytime is amazing. Than his ult staff is just built like crazy to shred even steel path. Very fun flying into enemies, shredding, than flying to the next.
I have only been playing 53 days so my mod collection isn't great, but with that Wukong is still a badass. Now I am looking forward to getting some of his mods to help make him even more badass.
Wukong to me is the jack of all trades frame. He has speed, health regen and a clone to fight with. He is one of those frames you can just go Bonk on people. I had a void survival mission for cracking relics. Got into a room and got surrounded, my companion was dead, my clone was gone, energy was drained and had enough to just pop a cloud walk off but I still had a melee weapon and just going to town. Forgot about everything else but the Bonk with Wukong built like a bruiser tank. It was one of those in the zone, do not care about anything else but the bonking. That is Wukong.
I wouldn't say that at all, there are a couple frames that do generalist stuff much better than him, especially ones with more complete kits. Wukong is fine, but he lacks a lot of important things that help for being the jack of all trades frame people praise him to be.
Wukong really is a splid warframe, but the "press 1 and afk" thing just pisses people off. Sometimes we really need a player to help us instead of a specter mindlessly blowing up enemies. For example, a player is downed during arbitration and with Wukong's mobility and invincibility, we can revive that downed player very quick but instead that Wukong chose to clone afk. And they can't see us chat bc they're probably alt tabbed.
One detail about the thumbnails I’ve found amusing is how every frame’s video has some word to describe it behind it, but in Inaros’s video, the word in the thumbnail is literally just ‘Inaros’ lmao
I unironically want Wukong unnerfed. It's been my main since his rework, and the nerf completely gimped his 1. I'm not even asking for a full revert. Literally just the ammo consumption. Ammo for the fun weapons is scarce enough as it is. Now, he chews through everything before I get a chance. Since it's been a year, of course, I've come up with plenty of alternatives... but when one of those alternatives is the Torid Incarnon, the ammo reserve nerfs kinda seem unjustified now. Idk. Yeah, Bramma spam probably got annoying for a lot of people, but I doubt that our new powercrept weapons solved that problem. The full weapon damage would be nice to have back too, but, again, I've mostly fixed that too. I just wanna use some of my favorite weapons again and have ammo for them.
Shit even if we kept ammo consumption, just give the clone 75% ammo efficiency. I think that would be a healthy compromise Or a toggle that dictates which weapon it uses. Specifically primary or secondary. It already has a toggle, kind of depending on whether you bring a melee. For example; forcing it to use the secondary while you use a primary. Oh, better yet, snapshotting based on what gun you summon him with.
Ngl probably it's just me but like reverting the damage is fine enough since like I use weapons with enough ammo but he chews through it if he can't kill them since his damage is so much lower and even if he marks he's still doing less then pre nerf with the 2x since he has that extra 50% damage
After Wukong Prime come he is my most Played Warframe till 2022, Not Because he is powerfull but he was fun for solo player, and during this time youtuber rated him B+ or C tier as he was not damage delaer. Before Kuva and Tenet, Acceletra and Wuclone was my go to. I hate only one change in Wukong and that My clone share my ammo pool.
Facts! They don't contribute anything to the team. And always bring him to arbitrations just to not do anything!!! They get no kills, they don't buff you in anyway and just do nothing. It's always low to mid rank Mr players. And even some higher mr players are not good with him either. Such a great frame yet such bad operators.
The best part about using fire walker on his 4 is that not only your a f@cking fire cloud, when you come out of it fire walker makes you inmune to status. The Monkey King is an absolute menace.
god i love old wukong. besides the cloud walker he was such a fun and reliable frame. perfect for when you just need to clear something solo without thinking
Wukong carried me really hard for like 90% of the normal star chart, unfortunately i eventually deleted him as i stopped having interest in his gameplay and decided to try new warframes, and even tho i dont feel like he is exactly "necessary" for me anymore, im still getting his prime now that its in ressurgence and maybe retry him with a more sofisticated build than i had for my original one
I think I’ve only used Wukong a few times since the rework and that’s mainly for a spy mission I have to do during a Sortie when I only have a few minutes left to complete 🙈
"not really a mass murdering machine" *Immediately gets cut off by an ad M for mature: blood and gore* It was a Warframe ad (about wisp prime if you're curious)
Bro i bought his Blueprint from the clan but never crafted him because i never knew he was this good, i had his Blueprint since mr3 i am mr5 now and waiting on revenant for 3 days rn. If only i knew
I vividly remember the day Wukong got his first rework. Finished leveling him 2 days before the update and i thought to myself "Wow, he sucks." Only for him to get the rework and became the only thing i used for a month straight.
In all my years and the many reworks I saw. Wukong didn’t get one, he got a fucking Apotheosis. I still refused to play him as I found him boring. But a good friend of mine did nothing But Wukong. It was nice seeing such a high quality Rework and redemption of a Warframe.
I frankly will never forgive DE making WuClone share ammo with your current weapon because of the explosive weapon stuff, they need to revert that bullshit expeditiously, otherwise Wukong is a very fun Frame overall.
I adore Wukong and his clone so much that i hardly ever bring my melee weapons with me anymore. If you love playing with AI buddies / summoner playstyles, consider bringing a Specter (Protea being my favorite for Dispensary which it will use often) with a Tenet Arca Plasmor and a Railjack Crewmate with another Tenet Plasmor (even better if you get one with the Heal Aura on kill). It's the most ridiculous playstyle to me personally. The value you bring to your squad goes to a whole other level, given that you basically bring 3 aimbots with one-shot kill cannons, plus whatever abilities your Specter has and perk your Crewmember came with. You're basically supporting your squad without even thinking about it and while you are doing other things, or just through sheer damage output / killing potential. "Apes together strong."
That's basically my entire deimos farming after hiatus for around 4 years. Kinda funny that i rushed for this kind of setup.... Or probably just because i had a trust and connection issues back when raids were still a thing
While I do agree that the reworked helped I do miss old wukong though I would not say he is the greatest frame in the game by far. Unfortunately to many frames out shine him though he is good for new players
I’ve had that happen, it’s amusing. I’ll be playing, say, Harrow, a pub Wukong summons their CT through that, and suddenly there’s this Wukong clone following me around like a lost puppy.
Hey guy so I’m a returning player from way back in the day and stop pretty early (as some players do.) I’m really interested in getting wukong and I know getting into a clan and getting him is one way but I don’t wish to join a clan. My question is, is he good to buy early then grind the rest of the game or should i wait. I would really appreciate a response and thanks for the info 🙏🏽
Celestial Twin using your ammo is still a big issue for a few reasons. 1. No other Frame in the entire game has a power that uses your ammo, imagine the outcry from Mesa players if her 4 used your Secondary ammo. The clone uses all your ammo. 2. The clone is actually not very smart and at times will just shoot at walls or into the air, this wasn't a big deal before because it has infinite ammo but now it can just chew through your ammo supply for no reason. Using a battery weapon is not a good response to this problem either as its forcing people to just not play the fun guns they want cuz monkey clone dumb. They need a solution that doesn't make using the Celestial Twin unfun with fun guns.
@@noahedenborg4221 no one does that, they also have ant-afk measures is the game. China may do that but Warfeame China is not the same as normal Warframe. There where other solutions, they took a sledgehammer to the problem instead of the scalpel they could have used.
@@noahedenborg4221 um, cuz people don't actually fo that. Nothing stops you from just using a Wisp specter armed with a Zarr either so people could still do it if that was actually a thing. You haven't refuted any of my points, you're just complaining about AFKing, and if Wukong could do it then any frame with a Specture could do it and people aren't complaining about that. People's biggest bitch about Wukong was him using 2 Zarrs and that fix was super easy, just have the twin use the iron staff if you unequip your melee, problem solved.
@@stephenschneekloth1535 im sry when did i compain about afking cus it seem ur complaining about not being able to have the clone have infinite ammo HMMMMM
I was doing a relic run and pop in a capture mission and then I see 3 wukongs , its funny but its not fun just seeng the same Warframe every single game
I just have the twin use the Epitapth for me so I don't need to prime enemies myself but I play Wukong less like a weapons platform and more like a melee frame with support.
