Conclave:Wukong/Main

CODEX

A primal warrior with the heart of a trickster.

This is Wukong, the enduring, the swift.

Everybody's got something to hide, Tenno. Except Wukong.

—Lotus

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.
