9 Games To Play If You Love Black Myth: Wukong
When you’ve done all there is to do in Black Myth: Wukong, you might find yourself wondering “what game should I play next?”
There are a total of sixteen differentarmor setsin Black Myth: Wukong, several of them upgradable and incredibly powerful. Rather than waste time looking at the more underpowered sets, let’s cut straight to the chase with the best options.
10Bronze Set
Once his penalty has been served, someone will come to his aid
The Bronze Armor Setbuffs theImmobilizespell, dealing extra damage and cooldown effects for the spell when breaking the frozen state on an enemy. You’ll probably want to upgrade this one several times before trying it out in later levels, as the initial defense of the set is quite low.
Obviously, it’s best to max out the Immobilize skill tree completely, as well as equipping any Immobilization-related relics and soaks. We also recommend focus-building items, so you can break the cast spell quickly with a heavy charged attack.
9Galeguard
Flee beauty like a foe, flee wind like an arrow.
If you like getting up close and personal with your play style, the Galeguard Set may be right up your alley. This setboosts perfect dodge effectiveness, granting extra focus and cooldown for spells with each perfect dodge (and regenerates Mana if you land three perfect dodges in a row).
Max out your dodge and stamina trees, as well as items that support dodging and stamina builds. Also, ensure to get thePeace from Perilskillfrom the Stance Tree, which will save your focus charge when perfect dodging.
Ebongold armor, aglow with light, a sun ablaze in darkest night
Boosting theCloud Stepspell, the Ebongold sethelps deal damage to foes from afar, as well as deliver a crushing blow when stepping out of Cloud Step. It also only requires three armor pieces, so you’re able to play around with the many head picees in the game as well.
Black Myth: Wukong | All Meditation Locations (Chapter 1)
Every place you can meditate (and level up) on the Black Wind Mountain.
Max out the Cloud Step tree and relics, and focus your build around increasing your criitcal hit damage. We recommend tracking down and equipping theWeaver’s Needle, as well as theLoong Balmdrink for your gourd.
Where now is that pious soul who melted your metal, or the smith who cast it to form you?
While Black Myth: Wukong doesn’t have a dedicated “parry” button per se, it does still have a parry in the form of theRock Solidspell, which the Iron Armor Set makes even more effective. The sethelps boost focus and reduce cooldown when executing Rock Solid, as well as buffing your counterattack when landing it correctly.
It goes without saying that you should max out your Rock Solid skill tree. Additionally, we would recommend buffing your perfect dodge and stamina skills, since you’ll be spending a lot of time in close range of enemy attacks.
6Centipede Set
It’s a masochistic armor set, butholy smokesis it effective. The Centipede Armor Setlowers the damage taken from the poison effect, but also boosts attack when afflicted with the poison effect, urging players to plague themselves in order to deal massive damage.
The perfect pairing for this armor set are theDeathstinger (Consumable)soak, which inflicts the poison status on yourself when drinking from a gourd, and theSpider Celestial Staff, which inflicts poison damage on enemies when you’re poisoned.
5Yaksha Outrage
The Yaksha Outrage set is a high-risk high-reward set,boosting both damage taken and damage given. It also boosts attacks from thePillar Stancetree, as well as buffing attack damage when at low health.
Definitely pair this one with perfect dodge abilities and relics that boost invulnerability time, as well as theGolden Loong Stafffor extra pillar damage. Since you’ll be at low health most of the time, we also recommend taking death-preventative measures with items likeMaitreya’s Orbor theLife-Saving Strandspell.
4Loongscale Set
Dive through the clouds to the deepest trench; soar through the clouds to the highest sky
Unleashing massive thunder damage, the Loongscale set is the ideal set for players interested in an elemental build. Itgreatly reduces the damage from incoming thunder attacks while boosting your own outgoing thunder damage.

Enhance your gameplay experience with these Black Myth: Wukong mods.
An absolute must-have with this set is theGolden Loong Staff, which grants your high-focus pillar stance heavy attacks with bonus thunder damage. Equipment that boosts focus buildup are great for this set, such as theBull King’s Maskor theGinseng Pelletsmedicine.
3Pilgrim Set
Wearing the headband, scriptures pervade your mind, no need for recitation. Donning the garb, etiquette binds your form, no need for cultivation.
If you’re looking to speed through levels and one-shot enemies, the Pilgrim’s Armor Set is the way to go. We used this in our NG+ run, and it absolutely shreds when optimized right,giving a boost to your sprint speed while also stacking attack bonuses for each second spent sprinting before you attack.
We recommend pairing this with a Smash Stance build, ideally using theJingubang Staff. We also enjoyed using the Blueridge Romance drink in this build, as well as any other focus-boosting items we could get our hands on such as theAmber Prayer Beads.
2Monkey King
Splendid! Splendid!
The armor worn by Wukong himself, this is the only set in the game that’s comprised of five different pieces of equipment. The full set boosts critical hit chance as well as spell cooldowns, in addition to boosting your maximum health and stamina.
Since the Jingubang Staff (which is already one of the best in the game) is already equipped, we would recommend going for a critical hit chance and spell-heavy build. TheWeaver’s Needleand the Eagle Eye relic are great choices here.
1Bull King Set
Yet that yaoguai king showed not a hint of fear
The Bull King’s Set of armor is our choice of frontrunner for the best in the game. While the full set does disable perfect dodges, it makes up for it by boosting defense and tenacity so high that it’s practically impossible for enemies to stagger your character.
To really maximize your build for this set, theDark Iron Staffis absolutely a must-have, seeing as the Bull King’s unmatched defense stats boost the attack level of the weapon. We’d also recommend maxing out the defense stat in as many skill trees and celestial medicine upgrades as possible, and equipping theWandering Wightspirit as well as theGold Spikeplatecurios.
