Here are five skills to unlock first in Black Myth Wukong

1) Simian Agility

Simian Agility is one of the best skills to unlock in Black Myth Wukong. You will find yourself dodging an awful lot during your time with this game. Dodging consumes Stamina, which is crucial for almost every action in combat. Simian Agility moderately reduces the amount of Stamina it requires to pull off a dodge in Black Myth Wukong.

Moreover, you can put two Sparks into this skill to further reduce the Stamina cost of dodging. This skill is on top of the Foundation tree and should be prioritized since your Stamina bar is quite small when you first start out in the game.

2) Mobile Spin

Mobile Spin allows you to continue moving forward while spinning your staff. Now, this Staff Spin is used to block projectiles shot by enemies. Being able to move forward while using the Staff Spin will allow you to close in on ranged enemies while deflecting all of their attacks.

This is an excellent way to close the distance and eliminate any archers who may give you a hard time. Staff Spin is another skill that is found on top of the Foundation tree and should be unlocked during the early hours of the game. There are plenty of ranged enemies in this title, and dealing with them can be quite a hassle without the Mobile Spin skill.

3) Force Unbound

Black Myth Wukong allows you to stand in place and hold the Heavy Attack button to begin charging an attack. This also fills up your Focus bar and will help you unleash devastating moves. However, standing in place leaves you vulnerable to enemy attacks, and that’s where the Force Unbound skill comes in.

With this skill active, you can sprint around the arena while you charge your Smash Heavy Attacks, making it an excellent way to avoid enemy attacks while charging your own. Force Unbound is one of the first skills for the Smash Stance and will serve you well throughout your playthrough of Black Myth Wukong.

4) Crash

Immobilize is one of the first spells you get access to in Black Myth Wukong. It is also a spell that you will use a lot in combat, so it only makes sense that you invest Sparks to make it better. You can unlock the Crash skill to moderately increase the damage dealt to immobilized enemies.

This is excellent for dealing with boss enemies, who can be quite tanky. Much like Simian Agility, this skill can also be upgraded twice to enhance its effects. Crash is easily one of the best skills in the game, and it should definitely be one of the first ones you unlock.

5) Composure

More often than not, you will be making use of the Light Attack Combo to deal damage to enemies in Black Myth Wukong. However, this combo can be difficult to pull off in its entirety, since enemies don’t just sit quietly and allow you to complete your moves. This is where the Composure skill comes in.

When Composure is active, you can dodge incoming attacks without interrupting your Light Attack Combo. When you attack after dodging, The Destined One will go right back to finishing the combo, making this one of the best skills in the game.
