Essential game-changing Skills

I’ve grouped the Skills listed in this guide into two categories.

These are the Skills to prioritise above all others.

Early on in Black Myth: Wukong, you have access to just the Smash Stance.

The player in Black Myth: Wukong runs towards the camera in a snowy landscape, with numerous decoys following behind.

Enemies can still hit your staff, but it essentially damages your Stamina instead of your Health.

It’s a phenomenal ability that gives you a huge amount of utility during difficult fights.

once you nail this Skill unlocked, most ranged enemies become trivial to deal with.

The player in Black Myth: Wukong unleashes a long-ranged attack on an enemy in the Forest Of Wolves using the Thrust Stance.

This move is called Tactical Retreat.

Cloud Step is an amazingly useful Skill regardless, but its Skill tree offers some very hefty benefits.

Well, Peace From Peril does the same thing but for charging up your Smash Stance’s Heavy Attack.

The player in Black Myth: Wukong deflects a projectile attack from an enemy using the Staff Spin ability.

Robust Constitution and RampantVigorcan both be upgraded up to 6 times, with each upgrade enhancing the effect.

Robust Constitution increases your maximum Health, while Rampant Vigor increases your maximum Stamina.

Wrathful Escalation increases your Critical Hit Chance, while Wrathful Might increases your Critical Hit Damage.

The player in Black Myth: Wukong faces off against an undead sword-wielding enemy in a snowy landscape.

Both can be found in the Foundation upgrade screen.

Surging Momentum

I promise, this is the final boring Skill in this list.

The importance is obvious.

The player in Black Myth: Wukong uses Pillar Stance to hoist themselves into the air with their staff.

More damage means you take out enemies faster, so they have less time to deal damage to you.

It’s the perfect Skill to dump Sparks into when you’re not sure what else to do.

This unassuming, easily-forgotten Skill increases the charging speed of all your Heavy Attacks across all three Stances.

That’s a pretty stellar upgrade for any build or playstyle.

Quick Hand just makes it easier to unleash those potent attacks on your enemies.

This three-slot Skill massively increases the engage distance of your Light Attack Starter.

So pick it up sooner rather than later, I beg you.

The aim is to deal as much damage as possible in a short space of time.

With that, we conclude this guide to the very best Skills available in Black Myth: Wukong.

Hopefully you’ve discovered a few Skills that you perhaps didn’t realise the true potential of beforehand.
