While Black Myth: Wukong’s Destined One may not possess the same level of power as Sun Wukong, they can still acquire useful skills that are arguably superior to others.
Regardless of whether you are facing numerous bosses or simply have a surplus of Sparks waiting to be utilized, it is important to invest in some abilities. However, given the abundance of skill trees, spells, Stances, and buffs available, selecting the most effective ones can be quite daunting.
To assist you on your quest through Wukong’s storyline, we have compiled a comprehensive guide to the top abilities in Black Myth: Wukong and a thorough examination of all the skills featured in this action-packed game.
Best abilities
Choosing abilities that align with your playstyle is recommended, but there are a few that you should definitely not overlook.
- Immobilize
- Stances
- Spin and walk
- Spells
Stances are key in Black Myth Wukong, so it’s vital you invest in them.
The spell Immobilize is an essential tool to have throughout your journey. Not only is it the first spell you receive, but it is also one of the most valuable. We highly recommend continually upgrading this spell as it will become even more potent. Additionally, we advise investing in your spells from the start, as each one will undoubtedly come in handy during a boss battle and potentially save your life.
It is crucial to invest in your Stances during the early game. In order to maximize your options, you will need to spend 3 Sparks, making it a significant investment at the beginning. Nonetheless, choose your preferred stance and allocate a few points to it.
Mobile Spin is a skill that you may not pay much attention to until you encounter a group of four archers and struggle to dodge their constant arrows. In chapter two, you will encounter even more ranged attackers, making Mobile Spin essential for survival in those situations.
Aside from the main options, it is highly beneficial to focus on enhancing your Health, Stamina, and ability to perform light attacks from a distance, and this should not be overlooked.
