| | In one-on-one combat scenarios, the Thrust Stance might be the best option. It focuses powerful attacks with precision. As the name implies, you can employ thrusting maneuvers that pinpoint a specific target. While your attacks may not be rapid like the combo available in Smash Stance, the damage inflicted with each strike is more significant. |

| In Black Myth: Wukong , you'll cling to your gourd and the healing nectar inside in order to claim victory over the gnarliest foes. Your staff will vanquish enemies , and your armor will offer protection . But the Gourd will ultimately keep you above ground in a pinch. Your gourd has a set amount of uses that can be replenished by absorbing green flame-like souls found throughout the world, or by simply resting at an incense checkpoint. You'll begin your journey with the Old Gourd which offers you 4 uses that will partially recover your health bar. | Red Loong should also be your excuse to finally reset your Sparks and look into Bane Mitigation under Survival in the Foundation skill tree if you haven't done so yet. This talent reduces the lasting effect of the Four Banes, including Shock. |

| In Black Myth: Wukong , there are many opportunities to upgrade your character's abilities and combat prowess. One of those options is through unlocking skills and talents under the Foundation skill trees. The Foundation skill trees are skills that enhance the core gameplay mechanics. They ultimately enhance your basic combat power, defense, and endurance. They are divided into 3 trees: Stamina , Martial Arts , and Survival . | Defeating the Stone Vanguard in Chapter Two allows you to craft the Gale Guardian Armor set , in which the chest piece boosts Shock resistance . Wearing the full set also grants additional focus and reduces spell cooldowns on a Perfect Dodge , something that can be easily pulled off against Red Loong's attacks. |
| | "Take the form of Fungiwoman. Drift through the air with a mushroom cap and release spores. Upon landing, crash into the foe as the spores rain down to track and strike them. Spores that hit the foe can return and recover Health." |

| Now, back to the heart of this article. Generally speaking, the best stance will vary depending on your situation. Smash Stance is a useful all-purpose stance that you can safely spend most of your time in, but once you unlock Pillar Stance you should start switching into it when facing groups or when an enemy is stunned and you can make full use of its Sweeping Gale. Once you get Thrust Stance, it'll likely become your new default stance for initiating combat, using it to fire off a charged heavy attack at long range before closing the distance with Whirling Thrusts. Once you're in range, you can swap into Smash Stance to take advantage of Resolute Counterflow, or Pillar Stance when dealing with groups. | However, Red Loong isn't as tough as he seems once you realize you can easily bring him to his knees. Staying aggressive and consistently landing hard-hitting attacks will cause the boss to fall onto its side , exposing the censers on its back, its weak point, open to your flurry of attacks. |
| To defeat Shigandang, the best strategy you can follow is to just stick to its back. Stay behind it, and you will shut down half of its attacks. You’ll still have to keep an eye open for the Body Slam, Side Sweep, and Shoulder Slam attacks, but most of the time, the boss will just keep turning around to find you. | |

| In Black Myth: Wukong , your staff is everything when it comes to melee combat. Quite literally, the staff is the only weapon type in the game. However, that doesn't mean there isn't any room for strategy and deeper melee options. There are 3 different combat stances you can utilize during your journey. They are as follows: | There are several spirits available in [[https://wukonggame.cc/|Black Myth Wukong story guide]] Myth: Wukong. They won't always be along the critical path. You may have to search all corners or alternate paths in an effort to obtain all of these spirits. Below is a comprehensive list of all spirits available in-game including their effects and passive bonuses. |
| |
| As the name implies, this tree is completely focused on bolstering the Destined One's combat prowess. These skills are both active and passive. Below are the skills you can expect to obtain under this tree. | As a dragon boss, Red Loong boasts tough scales that grant him an inherently high base defense , and his attacks integrate lightning that causes the Shock Bane to build . Refer to the table below for a detailed breakdown of his attacks and how to counter them. |
| |
| The third stance the Destined One can gain access to, first available at level 20 , is Thrust Stance. As the name suggests, this stance specializes in rapid jabs that take full advantage of your weapon's variable length. The heavy attack for Thrust Stance has the Destined One extending the staff to perform a long-range jab, which can deal a ton of damage when it connects and can stagger the target. After getting Whirling Thrusts, you can hold the light attack button after doing this to lunge forward into melee range and perform a flurry of jabs, making this a great way to close distance quickly. | Tiger Vanguard is one of the mandatory bosses that you will encounter in Chapter 2. It is one of the most challenging bosses to deal with and uses a varied set of attacks that keep the Destined One on their toes. It might take a few tries to fully understand the boss' moveset. |

| Your initial Gourd can be upgraded with the Shen Monkey vendor in the first region, [[https://www.wukonggame.cc/|Black Myth Wukong Skills Guide]] Wind Mountain . When you obtain the proper materials, you can fast-travel to the Marsh of the White Mist rest stop in the Bamboo Grove. The Shen Monkey is just down the path and can upgrade your gourd in exchange for the materials required. For instance, the Old Gourd (which offers 4 uses) can be upgraded to the Medicine Gourd which grants players 5 uses. You'll need the following item in varying quantities in order to upgrade your gourd. | Monitoring your stamina usage in combat is crucial to not burning out and opening yourself to attack. You're not a machine who can unflinchingly continue to batter enemies with your staff combos without an exhaustive cost. Enhancing your ability to recover stamina more rapidly or cater to specific attack strategies is in your best interest as you progress in your journey. Below are all the skills that fall under the stamina category as well as their cost. |
| |
| While the staff isn't exactly a ranged weapon, the Pillar Stance aims to offer plays a modicum of range extending the staff for far-reaching blows. The Pillar Stance notably allows you to perch on top of your staff and then deliver a heavy downward strike. However, this option can also help players avoid elemental or shockwave damage that can be inflicted when standing directly on the ground. Below are the skills that bolster this stance. | Following Light Attack with Heavy Attack performs Tactical Retreat. The Destined One hops backward and hones his defenses while preparing for another fierce attack. Following Tactical Retreat with another Heavy Attack that consumes a Focus Point unleashes Forceful Thrust. |
| |
| Shigandang is a secret boss, which you can face in Chapter 2. Unlocking and defeating this boss is worth it because you can get your hands on a new staff that will help you drastically on your journey ahead. Shigandang deals a lot of damage, but it has a major weakness that can be exploited to defeat it easily. | Tiger’s Acolyte will take up the attacking stance, and throw a slash after a short delay . The first two attacks are quicker, while the final hit is slightly delayed and is a small jumping attack. The boss will jump back after using this combo and may begin another combo. |
| |
| Luojia Fragrant Vine | Immobilization spell is going to be your best friend in this fight. The spell will hold Tiger Vanguard in one place so that you can deal enough damage. Avoid casting Immobilization while the boss is jumping around as he’ll freeze midair, and you won’t be able to attack him properly. |
| |
| You can also obtain other gourds throughout your journey that offer other benefits. For instance, you can find the Xiang River Goddess Gourd , which grants players a limited window for burn resistance, inside a chest. | You’ll likely only get hit by this tackle if you’re too near the boss. The tackle itself doesn’t deal as much damage. You can avoid it by creating some distance from the boss or dodging backwards . The second hit is slow and is similar to all the jumping smashes the boss throws at you. |

| Monitoring your stamina usage in combat is crucial to not burning out and opening yourself to attack. You're not a machine who can unflinchingly continue to batter enemies with your staff combos without an exhaustive cost. Enhancing your ability to recover stamina more rapidly or cater to specific attack strategies is in your best interest as you progress in your journey. Below are all the skills that fall under the stamina category as well as their cost. | Predicting the roar is difficult, but if you see the boss getting on all fours, be wary of this attack. It can be avoided by dodging at the correct time. The follow-up punch is very linear and slow , so you can easily avoid it by dodging or simply moving out of the way . |
| | Switching to Thrust Stance allows the Destined One to charge by holding Heavy Attack while remaining stationary. Upon releasing Heavy Attack, the Destined One can execute a swift thrust attack at a distant enemy. |
| | |
| | From the get-go, you'll have access to the Smash Stance. This stance prioritizes speed and power. The basic combo enables players to unleash quick, successive attacks that end in a significant final blow. Because of this, it is ideal when there are more than one foe to contend with. Players can bounce between targets mid-combo making it a prime choice for crowd control. Below are the skills available under this stree. |
| | |
| | After performing Tactical Retreat, Forceful Thrust, or a charged Heavy Attack, hold Light Attack to unleash Whirling Thrusts. The Destined One leaps forward to engage the enemy head-on, besetting them with barrage of staff strikes. |
