The Rising 2026 reward *spoilers*

Honestly? The Wuk Lamat hate is, in my opinion, overblown. The fact is, those who hate her are very vocal about it whereby those who like her usually tend to keep their opinions to themselves. I like her and am happy to see this minion.

Even so, Minions are usually given out when the story of the character they're modelled on is complete. This therefore indicates that Wuk Lamat won't be present as a main character again.

One of the craziest whiplashes this game has given me. It's how Wuk Lamat was like universally disliked at the start of the expansion, and now on Reddit and the forums, it's like everyone changed their tune and suddenly likes her.

Wuk Lamat minion. If its any sign, that means her story is done and we will most likely never interact with that character again in the MSQ, the only minions that have exception to this rule are scions.

Cos everyone already quit the game

Only people remaining are RMT bots, ERP second lifers and white knights

Personally never hated her. Actually rather liked her for the most part.

I've expressed this thought many times before in many different posts/threads - the only time she really annoyed me was during the fight Vs Queen Eternal.

It was the opposite for me. I like her in 6.5 and start of 7.0, got into debate trying to defend her even. But the more I play through DT.... so yeah, ends up hating her :/

Simply a boring and unlikeable character.

But anyway, I look forward to the rising poem more.

Wuk Lamat did nothing to outright hate her.


People who do this "Oh, the more I saw of her, the more I hated her" are weird af.


Like, why do you all then not hate the twins or Zenos? Both got forced on the WoL as someone we, the players, HAVE to like. But them doing it with Wuk suddenly is the issue?

If hating an obnoxious, shallow, childish character that wasted my time makes me weird I don't wanna be right.

That Zenos fight at the end of Endwalker felt so force and ruined the moment. It's worse than Wuk Lamat suddenly joining the fight against Sphene.

It's not that difficult to figure out if you actually think about it for a moment and stop with strawman arguements and what aboutisms. Her presence was a lot more intrusive than the ones you mentioned with her even breaking through and stealing our kill at the end (I personally hate Zenos just as much and do not understand why ppl love him so much, he just really annoyed me and I hope he stays dead and gone for once) and she and her story were victem to some of the worst writing this game has ever produced, esp since every time you had to interact with her she just repeated the same few core ideas again and again and again while everyone around her praised and loved her for no reason. Definately felt like a self insert by the writer. Just a Mary Sue in Naruto clothes. Couple that with the poor voice direction and even poorer choices, like smile and yeah, that is why.

There is other reasons some like to point at which while true for some is not true for the majority even if it is an easy way to shift blame away from the actual core reasons of just a poorly made msq and onto the fans, which means the company is going to take less heat from investors and is why so many major companies do similar things these days, but yeah, this is the jist. It's not that comnplicated lol

Never fear, I have hated/despised Wuk Lamat and that has not changed.
