To know How to change skills in Black Myth Wukong could save you hours of fighting against a boss who won't go down.
Since Black Myth Wukong is an action RPG, you can build your character however you want. This means you'll need to spend certain points wisely to unlock and upgrade new attacks and skills. It's fine to rely on the ones you enjoy the most, but bosses can be fought more efficiently by exploiting their weaknesses. This is one reason to change your Wukong build to favor certain techniques.
How to make skill changes in Black Myth Wukong?
Whether you put a point in the wrong slot or want to try a whole new build for a troublesome boss, Black Myth Wukong lets you redistribute your points by visiting one of the shrines that are common after big boss fights and between new areas. Offer incense to activate one of these, interact with it, and hold Y/Triangle to reclaim your points.
You can instantly refund any skill point at a shrine to try out entirely new builds, or deduct points one at a time to fix small bugs, quickly upgrade a favorite skill, or refund a skill point you think would be better spent elsewhere.
How do I get more skill points in Black Myth Wukong?
Black Myth Wukong's skill points are obtained from collectibles known as Sparks. You can get a Spark from Spark Meditation Cushions scattered throughout the game. For example, you can find a Spark Meditation Cushion outside of the Forest of Wolves. Go down the stairs and through the nearby cave to discover a cushion in the small hut.
Shortly after the battle against Lingxuzi, there is another Spark Meditation Cushion on a hidden path.
Simply put, unless you carefully follow a list of Black Myth Wukong Spark locations, you're likely to miss out on a handful of free skill points in your playthrough. Likewise, you can find health, mana, and stamina upgrades by seeking out collectibles, which are often hidden throughout the game and see record numbers upon release on Steam.
What are the best skills in Black Myth Wukong?
While it's too early at launch to say which skills are worth maxing out or which Wukong build can dominate the game, it's safe to assume that unlocking the Pillar and Thrust Stances will give you the flexibility to take on almost any enemy that comes your way.
Each stance changes your heavy attack. The strike in the Pillar Stance does good area damage, which is great for dealing with groups of enemies. It even has a slight knockback, so you can knock pesky targets off high ledges and cliffs. The Thrust Stance, on the other hand, has a long range, making it great for dealing damage from a distance.
