In this Black Myth Wukong All Staff Stances Guide, we’re covering the three different types of stances and their skill trees. There are three different stances: Smash Stance, Pillar Stance, and Thrust Stance. They range from versatile to offensive to defensive.
Smash Staff Stance
- Force Unbound: Enables sprinting while charging.
- Ironbound Resolve: Each talent level considerably increases Damage Reduction upon a charged Heavy Attack.
- Smashing Force: Each Talent level slightly increases the Damage dealt by charged Smash Heavy Attacks.
- Peace from Peril: When charging, Perfect Dodges retain any Focus that has been built up.
- Resolute Counterflow: Performing Heavy Attack during Light Attack Combos with a Focus Point consumed, allows the Destined One to execute Resolute Strike. During Resolute Strike, the Destined One can see through the incoming enemy attacks and nullify their damage/ Enemies that have been seen through are easier to stagger.
- Winding Wind: Performing Light Attack upon seeing through the enemy initiates a Light Attack Combo from the third move.
- Skyfall Strike: After a successful hit with Resolute Strike, performing another Heavy Attack consuming a Focus Point executes Skyfall Strike. The Destined One leverages his forward momentum, launching himself into the air with his staff to somersault forward, then unleashes a firm downward strike upon his enemy’s head.
- Invigoration: Grants massive Focus upon seeing through and hitting the enemy with Resolute Strike.
- Vantage Point: After seeing through the enemy, Skyfall Strike deals more Damage based on the number of Focus Points built.
Pillar Stance
- Pillar Stance: Switching to Pillar Stance allows the Destined One to support himself with his staff and ascend to its top by holding Heavy Attack, avoiding ground attacks in the process. The more Force Points he builds, the higher the perches.
- Steel Pillar: Each talent level moderately reduces the extra Stamina cost for maintaining balance.
- Sweeping Gale: Performing Heavy Attack during LIght Attack Combo will consume a Focus Point and execute Sweeping Gale. Using it as a pivot, the Destined One grapes his staff with one hand and executes a full aerial spin, delivering sweeping kicks to all nearby enemies.
- Gale’s Blessing: Grants a considerable amount of Damage Reduction when performing Sweeping Gale.
- Churning Gale: After a successful hit with Sweeping Gale, performing another Heavy Attack that consumes a Focus Point executes Churning Gale. The Destined One leverages his forward momentum to execute rapid whirls, churning nearby enemies with his staff.
- Skylarking: With over 3 Focus Points, the Destined One can use the gourd when perching on the staff.
- Towering Mountain: The Destined One no longer falls to the ground when perching but instead executes a Heavy Attack upon Stamina Depletion.
- Collapsing Gale: Churning Gale depletes all Focus Points and deals additional Damage based on the Points consumed.
Thrust Staff Stances
- Trust 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.
- Borrowed Strength: Each talent level increases Stamina recovery when hitting enemies while in Thrust Stance.
- Offense in Defense: Following a Light Attack with a Heavy Attack performs Tactical Retreat. The Destined One hops backward and hones his defenses while preparing for another attack. Following Tactical Retreat with another Heavy Attack that consumed a Focus Point unleashes Forecul Threat.
- Whirling Thrusts: After performing Tactical Retreat, Forceful Threat, or a charged Heavy Attack, hold Light Attack to unleash Whirling Thrusts. The Destined One leaps forward to engage the enemy head-on.
- Force Cascade: Each successful hit with Whirling Thrusts slightly increases Critical Chance for a short duration. This effect can stack up to 15 times.
- Adaptability: Following Whirling Thrusts with Heavy Attack unleashes a Tactical Retreat.
- Lucky Strike: Upon performing Tactical Retreat, with the enemy seen through, executing another Heavy Attack initiates Forceful Thrusts and gains brief Invincibility.
- Relentless: Stagger or repelled enemies take increased Damage from charged Thrust Heavy Attacks.
- Deadly Dance: When with 4 Focus Points, automatically perform a Thrust Heavy Attack immediately after a Roll or a Perfect Dodge.
- Ebb and Flow: Exempts all Stamina cost of a short duration upon seeing through the enemy in Tactical Retreat.
