Best Skills and Tips for Starting Black Myth: Wukong
Black Myth: Wukong, set to release on August 20, 2024, is an action RPG that integrates a robust combat system with XP and skill trees. Players navigate from one shrine checkpoint to another, facing off against yaoguais (demons) and bosses to earn XP and rare upgrade materials. The game emphasizes exploring branching paths, crafting new equipment at shrines, and utilizing unique clothing effects. The journey centers around the legendary Wukong and involves strategic gameplay to defeat various bosses, including the challenging Lingxuzi and secret boss Elder Jinchi.
One of the notable spells in the game is A Pluck of Many, which becomes significantly more effective with the right upgrades. Key skills to enhance this spell include Longstrand, Synergy, and Tyranny of Numbers, which extend the duration of your duplicates in battle. Synergy, in particular, can stack up to 10 times. Volition is another essential skill, allowing the use of multiple spells simultaneously, while Harmony helps build Focus with successful light attacks by duplicates.
The game does not restrict players to specific classes but instead encourages the development of certain stats and abilities for a tactical advantage. Early skill investments in Robust Constitution and Rampant Vigor can enhance maximum health and stamina. Skills like Force Unbound, which allows heavy attacks without exposing oneself, and Immobilize, which freezes enemies, are pivotal for effective combat. Additionally, Focused Attack skills and the final skill in Volition provide strategic benefits for dealing and sustaining damage.
Black Myth: Wukong features 81 achievements on PC and 36 on PS5, with a total of 100 trophies, including a Platinum trophy. Some achievements are exclusive to the PS5 version, and the game provides a comprehensive guide to unlocking these trophies, often through riddles or quotes. The game combines complex combat mechanics with a rich narrative inspired by Journey to the West, promising a challenging and immersive experience for players.
