Black Myth: Wukong is by no means an easy game to beat. The developers drew inspiration from “Souls-like” games, incorporating similar challenging mechanics that demand precision and strategy. However, there are some strategies you can follow to make the most of what the game has to offer.
One of the key elements to master in your journey is the use of Focus Points. These points are integral to the game’s combat mechanics and can be incredibly useful, especially when facing formidable enemies like bosses.
What Are Focus Points in Black Myth: Wukong?
You might be wondering what exactly Focus Points are in Black Myth: Wukong. Focus Points are a vital game mechanic that can be earned and strategically used in battles to help you defeat stronger enemies. These points allow you to enhance your attacks and increase your damage output, making them essential for progressing through the game.
However, there are limitations: Focus Points can’t be used whenever you want. To use them, you need to perform a charged heavy attack. The more Focus Points you unlock, the more damage you can deal to enemies, making each attack more powerful.
How to Get More Focus Points in Black Myth: Wukong?
At the beginning of Black Myth: Wukong, you start with just one Focus Point. As you progress, you can increase the number of Focus Points you hold by investing in the Staff Stances skill tree using Spark points. Here’s how you can unlock more Focus Points:
- Two Focus Points: Spend three Spark points
- Three Focus Points: Spend ten Spark points
- Four Focus Points: Spend twenty Spark points
Unlocking more Focus Points allows for more significant damage output during combat, as you can hold charges for longer periods. However, the fourth Focus Point is temporary, as its charge depletes quickly. When you achieve this level, make sure to use the points immediately to maximize damage and stagger effects on enemies.
Additionally, some skills in the game, such as the Ring of Fire, provide temporary boosts to your Focus Points. For example, standing within the Ring of Fire can grant you an extra Focus Point, but this buff is short-lived and should be used strategically in battles for a quick burst of power.
Black Myth: Wukong launched on August 20 for PlayStation 5 and PC via Epic Games Store and Steam.
