Small tip for those Narmer hacks. Once it says 'Success' you can hit Esc to instantly pop out of the hack. Shaving off....basically fractions of a second each time, but I suppose it'll add up over time. I've pumped my monkey full of forma and shards to make him the best little Spy/Rescue cloud spammer he can be, have almost 8 seconds worth of duration on the cloud... energy siphon on the aura slot, energize, basically the build you described otherwise, you name it. Works great!
I recently unlocked perspicacity and I made a similar build to help with spy missions (which aren’t my personal favorite). A couple of minor tips that might help someone: -I use Shade prime but I take off assault mode so that he doesn’t aggro enemies that I’d rather just avoid. His invisibility may be unreliable but it is a little bonus sometimes. -Along the same lines, I don’t activate my Wu-clone so he doesn’t start shooting things and running where I don’t want him to. Great vid per usual. I’ve picked up quite a few tips from you since I’ve been playing and found your channel.
I've been using a very similar build for years. The only big difference is that I replace ability 4 which is trash and keep 3 which is at least situationally useful.
I'm still pretty new to the game, but I found that using Limbo and Shade with the Ghost mod works really well too (security cameras count as enemies for Ghost). Auto-Breach on the Parazon if you don't have Perspicacity yet. I've done a lot of Spy missions to get Ivara and most I was able to finish in under 5 minutes.
I'm pretty new (2 months in) and what I find funny is you don't actually need to use a spy-focused Warframe to do spy missions. You can actually speed run missions by just ignoring everything, doesn't matter if you trigger alarms, laser barriers, etc etc, just dodge through the laser barriers to avoid the CC. Then use Perspicacity / Cipher to auto hack each console. As long as you don't trigger alarms for 1 of the 3 vaults, the mission won't change to Exterminate, but it means you can ignore alarms for 2 of the vaults for faster runs. The only reason I even switched to Perspicacity subsume was cause I started running out of Ferrite for Ciphers while I was farming for Ivara's blueprints + the 60/60 elemental mods. I just ran all the Spy missions with my main, which is Mag, lol. The reason I even went for Ivara is actually more for solo Archon Hunts too, not for Spy missions, lol. One thing nice about Perspicacity also though is it's one-handed, so you can cast it while moving, bullet jumping, etc.
now if only the devs would actually add parazon mods to loadouts. I use this build but without Untraceable because that mod is pretty useless in the general case, and I'm not about to manually swap parazon mods at the start and end of each spy mission. Still works well enough, though it runs into problems on some specific nodes, like the last one in the video. also worth noting wukong's cloud gives +300% movespeed, so getting +60% is very much not going to make you 60% faster. And Liset air support pauses any 'countdown to failure' timer for a while (especially useful if you want to risk trying pub spy missions). also also why 170% efficiency, it hurts. that last 5% is the most impactful 5% efficiency in the game, it cuts your energy costs by another 1/6th compared to 170%. sure you don't really need it in this case but wat edit: oh also can't recommend not bringing a gun to the mission, sometimes it is useful to shoot away grates blocking progress. there is a faster route you can take @2:56 by going up in the tunnel and shooting the grate.
I cared more about the duration on the build than efficiency. I'd actually take the efficiency down to 160, and it would be fine. Just didnt have a fleeting that was a rank lower
I've been using that helminth ability for my ivara spy for quite some time since it's pretty much "cheating" :D but this honestly sounds like a nice qol upgrade. Thx
A notable mention for helminth would be Master's Summons with a Moa equipped with Security Override. This allows you to skip a lot of vaults with glass barriers (especially the long Lua ones) by casting Master's Summons while hugging the glass. Moa is summoned on the other side and runs to hack the console saving you a lot of time. It works with most glass barriers where the console is on the same level as you. Example can be viewed here: ua-cam.com/video/4hS-Z2JOvlk/v-deo.html
I personally take a razor wing blitz Titania with casting speed. She’s faster then wukong as long as you can handle the ridiculous speed. Her inherent archwing dash means she can blink over lazers fairly easily.
Finally a use for wukong although i still prefer my wisp as it is faster in a lot of console tilesets due to how lumpy the map is amd like with most things makes the pub scrubs suck a lil less
@Doth yeah it still won't work for most players as they tend to fail even with lokis but it is at least another frame for the yellows and might mean 1 less moron in a rhino setting off B after i already did both A and C in a 4 man squad
@Doth uh solo or team and if team of what size? (for reference my clan would do spy mission races of various kinds solo 2 man team 3 man team etc and would race for the shortest times usually picking a map of the week or a few if DEsguting was cheaping out on content) But from those leaderboards we had usually the meta for groups was a wisp 2 loki and a nova
Not doing it anymore because im not enjoying the new update, so im not grinding much warframe. I removed them because the channel looks better without them since they were just kind of a random something to do. Im focusing on others things in life right now other than warframe, but I still have some builds to share. Videos will be less frequent but higher effort.
Titania doesn´t work! - She would be faster at getting through the Map, but the important part about Wukong is, that he doesn´t trigger the lasers traps. You could ignore that and just trigger all the Alarms and still finish all the Vaults, but that will turn most Spy Missions into Exterminates at the End, which completely defeats the purpose of doing them fast. So Wukong is truely the optimal choice here.
@Timur Hagen ok lets go over all the things you got wrong buddy starting with the 'set off alarm' your void dash (or whatever DEsgusting is calling it this time) doesn't set off alarms...wukong isn't the best it is better than some frames but is pretty middle of the ranks...and titania is better than wukong for the average player as you have much more control and is faster than wukong
@@ShugoAWay I assume you suggest that you could use titania to fly to the spy vault and then use the operator to get through the spy vault. Even if that would actually work, i don't think that would end up being faster than simply flying through the vault with Wukong. The fact of the matter is though, that that doesn't work. It is simply false information you provide here. Everybody can go test it, if you don't believe me. Void Dash will trigger the Alarm when dashing through Laser Traps in Spy Vaults. Regular Laser Traps can be avoided by Void Dash, not Spy Vault Laser Traps. So neither Titania by herself nor a combination of Titania and the Operator can simply ignore the Traps in the same way Wukong can. I'm not talking about any mission. Titania would be faster anywhere else. I agree with that. But for Spy Vaults specifically Wukong is the most efficient and fastest pick. Especially with the Perspicacity Combo presented in the Video here. warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Void_Sling Here is the relevant information on the Wiki which confirms this.
@Timur Hagen lol whatever dude the wiki is outdated as i dash through regularly and it doesn't set off shit so sounds like you just have a skill issue bro And yes titania is universally faster unless you suck at using titania which by the sound of things is your actual problem is that you don't want titania to be the norm cuz you can't handle her movement lol And neither are the fastest as wukong comes in 5th and titania comes in 3rd in terms of speed in spy missions

Huge tip. Thanks
This is a great build for Sortie and Archon Hunt. Thanks for sharing your take on it!
Great video. This is the kind of min-maxing I love to see.
Good Build. I´ve been using this exact combo for a while now and it´s become basically my main usecase for Wukong.
Yeah, im not a wukong fan, but this is an undeniably great combo
Great editing and video overall, tyvm

Yeah i was using shade for a bit. Its basically we have Untracable at home but it definitely works. Glad I had good info to share :)
oh man this makes archon and sortie spy a joke , saved a shit ton of time. Thanks!

Will have to give this go, the speed of Ivara has always been an annoyance.
3:15 nice edit - that's all :)

That's so dope. Thanks for bringing that up! Iv never seen that
I personally take a razor wing blitz Titania with casting speed. She’s faster then wukong as long as you can handle the ridiculous speed.
Her inherent archwing dash means she can blink over lazers fairly easily.
Finally a use for wukong although i still prefer my wisp as it is faster in a lot of console tilesets due to how lumpy the map is amd like with most things makes the pub scrubs suck a lil less
Im a wukong hater but yeah this just works so well
@Doth yeah it still won't work for most players as they tend to fail even with lokis but it is at least another frame for the yellows and might mean 1 less moron in a rhino setting off B after i already did both A and C in a 4 man squad
But yea he is the hardest to fail out of the top 5 fastest even though he is the slowest of the top 5 due to his cloud being speed limited
Who do you think the top 5 fastest are
@Doth uh solo or team and if team of what size? (for reference my clan would do spy mission races of various kinds solo 2 man team 3 man team etc and would race for the shortest times usually picking a map of the week or a few if DEsguting was cheaping out on content)
But from those leaderboards we had usually the meta for groups was a wisp 2 loki and a nova
Any Ash builds?
a true spy do all rooms with unmodded excalibur
guys use shade prime as well
Bro this shit hilarious you just be zooming around the map in the gameplay 💀
Why not use preados?
2:55
@Doth yea daggers give movement speed but so do preados?
Where da kuva kap go
Not doing it anymore because im not enjoying the new update, so im not grinding much warframe. I removed them because the channel looks better without them since they were just kind of a random something to do. Im focusing on others things in life right now other than warframe, but I still have some builds to share. Videos will be less frequent but higher effort.
lmao this is great. ivara is a joke compared to this
i smell a distinct lack of titania here 😴
She be goin fast no doubt. Im sure a similar build could be made on her.
