There are three Stances available in Black Myth Wukong. While only the Smash Stance is accessible from the beginning by default, unlocking the other two requires reaching specific levels in the game.

To gain access to the Thrust Stance, you must first achieve level 20. Once you attain the necessary level, go to the Staff Stances found in the Self-Advance tab. You can then awaken the Pillar Stance by spending one Spark. Subsequently, you will have the choice to utilize additional Sparks to unlock further upgrades.

Reaching level 20 requires you to progress quite a bit, as obtaining a sufficient amount of XP can be difficult in the first chapter of the game. However, you are expected to reach the required level after defeating some of Chapter 2's initial bosses, such as Lang-Li-Guhh-Baw and Earth Wolf.

While executing the Heavy Attack in the Thrust Stance requires you to remain stationary, this quick strike can effectively reach an enemy at a distance. Unlocking the appropriate upgrade for this Stance is crucial to improving its effectiveness.

Here are the recommended early-game upgrades for the Thrust Stance:

• Borrowed Strength
• Offense in Defense
• Whirling Thursts

When you activate the Thrust Stance, be sure to enhance both tiers of Borrowed Strength. This upgrade boosts stamina recovery when striking foes. Each level upgrade requires 1 Spark.

Unlocking the Offense in Defense upgrade for the Thrust Stance can prove to be quite advantageous. By executing a combination of light attack and heavy attack, you can initiate a Tactical Retreat, allowing you to move backward and brace for an incoming enemy assault. Subsequently, you can utilize a Focus Point to unleash a Forceful Thrust, which is particularly effective in boss battles.

Once you have accessed the previously mentioned upgrades, Whirling Thrusts becomes available for unlocking. This ability allows you to jump forward, confront the enemy directly, and unleash a flurry of staff strikes upon them.
