Sun Wukong Blessings
When choosing Blessings for Sun Wukong, you have three strong options to consider, each catering to different playstyles. Heavencast is a solid pick if you want to enhance the utility of Sun Wukong’s Default Skill by ignoring RES on his Stun debuff, making it easier to control enemies.
If you plan to use Sun Wukong as a Speed Lead in the Arena, Intimidating Presence is an excellent choice, boosting the effectiveness of your team’s Aura and solidifying your advantage in fast-paced battles. Soul Reap is particularly useful for finishing off low-HP enemies, ensuring that they don’t get a chance to recover or retaliate.
Lastly, Lightning Cage is a versatile option, allowing Sun Wukong to protect the buffs he steals while dealing additional damage based on his enemy’s MAX HP. This makes it a valuable Blessing for sustained fights, especially against buff-heavy teams.
