Could you do one on the operators I think that would be pretty intresting to see
You use Wu Clone to have higher DPS, I use Wu Clone because I feel alone. We are not the same
💯 agree with you
Lol😂😂
Having wuclone in one of those scary mission is a need
I use wukong because i got host migration most of the time we're not the same
I agree, especially if you are on a solo mision that you are having a hard time doing. having a extra hand would be very valuable
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
Lmaoooo I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one who called it extendo stick
@@moeluminati2844well if you like immortality ull love revenant🤣👍🏾
@@fallenrai5200 got em rhino better 🦏
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.
true
A triple immortal character becomes a triple immortal Warframe
@@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.
thats crazy@@sethmilligan8833
@@sethmilligan8833 Ah, I see. You're an Eastern mythology enjoyer as well?
(I read your comment, just wanted an excuse to make that joke)
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.
I wouldn't call it ignorance exactly. They're trying to balance making things effective, without optimizing fun out of the game.
@@Densoro hydroid rework when?
didn't seem like he needed a rework tbh
@@LetsGetSmarted He was too boring just having infinite lives. Making him actually fun to play was the key thing of the 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.
@@princesscadance197Eximus rework made him jobless.
@@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.
@@LeyKTnot true , it's mainly due to how convoluted he is to play , it requires actual timing and skill which is pretty unseen on the best frames
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 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
+points for monke
Worth noting: +1500 armor is +83% DR, and +750 armor is +71.5% DR
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.
@@eLovvski
I'm... just giving the values of dr for information, dude
@@eLovvskiwhat an insane response
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.
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.
Instead of Defy, try Parasitic Armor on Rhino. I promise you will not regret it.
I use chroma vex Armor with ice element in Rhino
@@mustlovecats442 nah.
@@vivekkparashar6369 it has a interaction where you will still deflect bullets even though skin is up so it is viable, plus some free armor.
@@amolistic_ yup
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!
I am loving these videos. Kind of like a warframe summoning salt almost.
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 definitely deserved his video as he is very good, especially for how early he's obtained.
love your vids btw, keep it up! :)
He was... Now it is good only for beginners at the start.
@@garri235can you explain why he falls off later game then?
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.
@@DPetrified
@@DPetrifiedhe doesn't really fall off if you build him right. I use Wukong Prime most of the time in steel path and arbitration
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.
Wukong was my first main and even now that i am main styanax i still love him with all my heart, the monkey is simply amazing
I don’t really use him a lot but I’ve found with the helminth system there’s one mission type for definite that he’s amazing at. Rescue. Just put Limbo’s Banish over his 4 (as his 4 is completely useless compared to other exalted weapons), cloudwalk to the rescue target, banish them (using it’s augment with max duration makes even eximus units unable to kill the target), then book it to the exit.
Haha funny max range Celestial stomp
Good idea. I still just use Ash with smoke screen augment for reacue
If you're fast enough with cloud walk you don't even need banish. Let the rescue teleport to you.
Lightning !! Best music to start a video 👍
Was watching your styanax video and saw something new pop up lmao
Caught off guard by Zentaro's theme, good music choices. Respect.
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
This is why I grinded his prime which looks awesome btw
Nice video
I personally despise Wukong but this is a very good video.
I'm really glad I'm not alone in this
Same lol
Yup
Ditto
"That's right! It goes in the square hole!"
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.
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.
what all got nerfed about him?
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 🙈
That disclaimer at the start though....When you know you know.
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
haha I'll have to update it, at the time I couldn't really come up with a phrase for the thumbnail
@@NovaUmbralForgotten
I have him on literally every game he is in mobile included. He is a beast everywhere. Love WuKong. He is a mythological God, too! Worth praying to.
Yeah boiii!
FINALLY WE GOT IT
May I ask what is the skin of Wukong you're showing in video specifically the helmet, it looks awesome.
Wait what I haven’t played warframe in ages, might hop back in to use one of my only prime’s
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.
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.
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.
You know it's gonna be a journey when nova says "his Warframe is drastically different from what it is today."
I didn't know anything about Warframe. I just heard about a Wukong Warframe and had to get it.
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.
Wukong used to be my main, but because of the sevagoth augment ice switched back to sevagoth being my main
Not to mention the mental one man wukong army by zanagoth back in 2019
wukong prime feels like its never vaulted
I like the crono trigger music
While I don't hate Wukong as a frame the players that use him though is a different story.
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
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 🙏🏽
I haven't seen a lot of Wukong's around recently.
They may have reworked him and gave him a prime variant butt I will never forget his charging plug on the non-prime variant.
Because you had a permanent spectre that could fire kv zarr while you got lunch thats how
Im farming Grendel, Seems kida good
I had a lot of fun with him. I think I'll farm him again!
Grendal is a great frame now thanks to the rework
i miss old wukong because i could combo his 1st augment with arca titron and bring the slam jam
yeah it would be fun to mess around with today like imagine u could extend exec slam waves or exodia epidemic shit would be fun
Would love to know the colours used on that black wukong set please
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
the final fantasy 13 music at the start caught me so off-guard😭😭
Wukong makes me happy 😊
SUN WHU HIT THE GRIDDY
the final fantasy 13 music😩
We need a railjack video
damn iron vault would be fun
Cool squaresoft music
I never tried to learn how to play him 😂 i asked my friend who plays him whats the best ability and boom my build was made
Son Wukong would've been proud of Wukong.
equinox duality could actualy get some duration buff than it would overshadow the clone so easy with its 300% dmg buff
Rebecca basically the fire nation of warframe
yoo new vid just dropped
*Revenant prime has entered the chat
Nice
Comfy frame
I distinctly remember equinox winning the poll
Wukong won last weeks, scroll back a bit and you'll find both polls
seen this a lot lately, characters in games that are derived from china (mostly wukong) are almost always meta or at least not bad.
conspiracy? yes.
You should do a video on Valkyr man😢
Can you PLEASE share your wukong fashion?
Wukong forever!
The title should have been "How Wukong review bombed Warframe" xD
With prime resurgence i got all wukong prime parts in under 4 hours
For those who have some aya just go and buy the relics now is the time
Cool
came back to the game after 2 years and wukong is garbonzo now. clone struggles killing corpus enemies with a 700% eclipse buff.
Ff13 music was dope
I remember my friend who got me into WF said I might like wukong (she likes using wk). So after I fully level his mastery I never touch wukong again bc I dislike everything except the prime helmet, sorry friend 🙃
"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)
4th skill better to change to mirage Eclipse.
I hope DE does inaros like they did Wukong tbh
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 love wukong and used him soo much but gauss made me not use wukong anymore.
Queen Wukong.
Whats that fashion 👀
I dont like using him however he is my go to spy mission frame. 💯
I just made this Warframe
I wish he would could use his secondary (for epitapth + glaive) and have his clone use primary
he technically can if you run the ammo of your primary dry so the clone has to switch weapons
@@LightCrib2 how would that help in any way?? I'm saying I want to use my secondary+melee while the clone uses primary
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.
@@hollowcookie9648
Oh i misread that mb
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
@@JAzure-hk1sx Yeah i don't like to rely on my teammates too much either in Warframe, so it's nice to have such strong AI buddies, just in case.
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 miss molt saryn meta, sad u cant put spores on em anymore 😢
best beginner warframe after joining a clan
3 lives/ /heal + travel /clone /invulnerablility + armor
Wukong is the best spy and rescue frame, change my mind
Change your own mind then Come Thank me Later. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@lookalike4805 i won't 💀
Wukong at current just feels good to play, it's a shame he's been relegated to monkey buisness from his 1 :(
The biggest question is: Wuclone or Twokong?
