Warframe: How to Get Wukong & Wukong Prime (2026) Guide

Wukong is a primal trickster inspired by the legendary Monkey King, using his clever tactics and melee attacks to deal massive damage to enemies.

He is highly capable of surviving large waves of foes while dishing out devastating melee damage, making him a strong choice for front-line combat.

Using abilities that keep him alive in a mission while also being able to dish out damage makes him an excellent Warframe that excels when it comes to certain objectives.

How To Get Wukong?

Wukong’s main blueprint and component blueprints need to be researched in a Dojo, which can be done in the Tenno Lab.

Once research has been done, you may replicate these blueprints and use them for crafting his components and later the Warframe.

Alternatively, Wukong can be purchased fully built from the in-game Market for 275 Platinum, providing instant access to him without needing to research or craft any components.

Wukong Abilities

Passive Ability

After Wukong takes fatal damage, he will automatically use one of the 5 survival techniques that he has mastered, providing him with a temporary buff and preventing him from entering bleedout.

Upon taking fatal damage, Wukong becomes invulnerable for 2 seconds and has 50% of his health restored while also receiving one of the following buffs:

• Primary Forces – 300% Elemental Damage for 60 seconds
• Heavenly Cloak – Invisibility for 30 seconds
• Cosmic Armour – Invulnerability for 30 seconds
• Monkey Luck – Enemies yield extra loot drops for 60 seconds
• Sly Alchemy – Orbs become 4x more effective for 60 seconds

1) Celestial Twin

Wukong sheds a part of himself, creating a Celestial Twin that fights by his side, utilizing whatever weapons are equipped at the time the ability is cast.

Activating the ability again will cause the Celestial Twin to attack a targeted enemy with increased damage.
