Lazy Monkey King | Clone Buff, Health Tank, Speedrun Wukong

INTRODUCTION

A standard lazy tanky [Wukong] with roar for buffing yourself, your clone and other players. Good for speedrunning and general use missions throughout normal starchart and base/early steel path. Falls off in late steelpath/endurance due to reliance on health/armor tanking.

Don't use [Umbral Fiber] since it only gives an additional 529 armor, compared to 1500 from defy and 900 from Arcane [Guardian], and a negligble boost to health and strength. [Adaptation] works fine unranked and saves mod capacity if you don't want to spend more forma. Feel free to use umbral forma for more flexibility and higher drain mods e.t.c

BUILD SPECIFICS

Duration
This is mostly for cloud walker so you can travel further with each cast, as well as lenghtening roar duration

Efficiency
Neutral to positive efficiency helps with 2 spam for quick map traversal

Range
Minimum range may seem too low but roar has a high base range, so 8.4m is enough since your Clone always stands within 2-4m while idling. You can increase this with Augur reach or stretch if desired.

Strength
Higher strength scales clone health and roar buff.

Flexible slots
Aura - can be growing power, enemy radar. Steel charge is used simply for extra mod capacity.
Exilus - can be preparation, primed sure footed/[Handspring], [Vigilante Pursuit]. [Preparation] is preferred, particularly so you can start off using cloud walker for speedrunning missions.

Arcanes
Guardian and Grace for more armor and passive healing.
Energize as an alternative.
Avenger for damage

Helminth

  • Roar for buffing self, clone and allies
  • Molt or infested mobility for cloud walker speed boost. Molt provides the highest speed boost at 105% (compared to only 25% for firewalker)
  • Perspicacity for spy/rescue sorties for instant hack bypass

Archon Shards
2 amber cast speed shards
2-3 crimson duration shards

PLAYSTYLE

  1. Activate clone
  2. Activate roar on cooldown
  3. Press 3 to absorb damage to stack 1500 armor
  4. Use 2 to traverse the map and heal when needed
