This has an ability called Unified Minds, which allows Sun Wukong’s Duplicates to copy the player’s attack in combat. This is how they’re able to defeat the Wandering Wight in one hit - as well as their damage buffs, they’re also benefitting from the damage from the Heavy Attack being multiplied multiple times from the Duplicates.
