Sun Wukong

Old legends from Yakai spoke of a mystic monk who once wandered the sacred lands of the Skinwalkers. Banished long ago by Buddha to a remote mountain, the tale tells of his chains breaking at last. Now freed, Sun Wukong returns to Teleria – wielding the full force of his mystical powers against any who dare stand in his way.

Sun Wukong brings a unique set of skills to Raid, with standout mechanics including a self revive and the ability to place Sheep debuffs on enemies. While his kit leans heavily into PvP with a mix of damage and control, he can still be valuable in areas like Doom Tower, Cursed City and the Hydra boss. Starting with Gotcha! [A1], he attacks one enemy with a 50% chance of placing a Stun debuff – boosted to 75% when the target has active buffs [once booked]. Whether you’re locking down Arena targets or managing waves in Faction Wars, this control can prove useful across the board.

You think you see him once, but now you’re seeing them! [A3] is where Wukong starts to shine for debuffing and utility – stealing all buffs from all enemies before attacking, and placing a 2 turn Block Buffs debuff. Against Hydra, this helps remove buffs and shuts down buff placements, while also proving effective against buff heavy Arena teams or PvE encounters that stack buffs.

Staff of Wonder [A2] targets one enemy, ignoring 50% of their DEF and dealing surplus damage to others if the initial target is killed. This surplus attack can’t crit, but if the initial target survives, he’ll place an unblocked – but resistible – Sheep debuff, similar to the Polymorph blessing but built into his kit. For optimal use, building high Accuracy is key, especially if your team lacks Increase Accuracy buffs. This skill has serious counterplay potential in Arena, particularly against champions like Stoneskin UDK. Not to mention, when built for damage, it has the potential to wipe out an entire enemy team!

His passive rounds off the kit by reviving Sun Wukong with 100% HP and Turn Meter three turns after being killed. This opens synergy opportunities in Arena, perhaps with champions like Valkanen or in long battles like Hydra, where a self reviving damage dealer can keep coming back for more. It also pairs nicely with solo setups against Bommal the Dreadhorn, such as with Lady Annabelle or Burangiri, as his frequent deaths and revives help maximise the healing potential of their passives – while also applying Block Buffs to shut down Bommal’s Increase Attack.
