WhileBlack Myth: Wukongmay not be a traditional Souls-like, it shares enough challenging elements—such as its demanding difficulty level—that choosing your early stats and talents wisely is crucial for a smoother experience.
If you need a little guidance on which stats to take starting out, here’s everything you need to know about early game stats and talents inBlack Myth Wukong.
Best Early Game Talents inBlack Myth: Wukong
There are many interesting abilities and talents you can invest in early inBlack Myth: Wukong, and you might be interested in doing so because of that. However,Black Myth: Wukongis a fairly difficult game and it really doesn’t pull its punches the further you progress. To that end, the most important stats you should take are the ones thatboost your survivability and ability to evade enemy attacks. Health, stamina, and evasion are what your early points should be focused upon, not damage.
With your first six points, I highly recommend investing in theRobust Constitutiontalent under theFoundation–Survivialtree. That talent boosts your health by a decent margin and will allow you more room for error. More room for error means more options to adapt.
After that, I recommend going forDeft Evasionin theFoundation-Staminatree. This talent considerably improves your ability to avoid enemy attacks, allowing you to cancel your early Light attack combo into a seamless dodge. This is important because, later on, you won’t be able to just sit there and Light attack enemies to death.
Under the same tree, you should invest at least one point intoSimian Agility,Endurance, andEverlasting Vigor. These talents enhance your mobility, but the primary reason to invest in them is that they are prerequisites for unlockingComposure. This talent allows you to continue your Light attack combo string even if you dodge during it. You can be far more aggressive when attacking because you no longer need to be concerned about breaking your attack chain.
The last early-game Talent you should consider taking isExhilaration, under theStaff Stancestree. This talent improves your Health recovery when consuming a Focus Point, which makes it a great way to heal without using a charge of your Gourd. This doubles as a benefit, as taking at least three points in this tree earns you a second Focus Point.
While many of these Talents are not the most interesting and are largely passive, it’s important to get the survivability concerns out of the way so that you can actively take the more ‘fun’ Talents and stats without concern of dying all the time. Hopefully, this helps your adventure inBlack Myth: Wukong.
