Wukong is a fast, aggressive Soulslike built around the staff, Focus, and your spells. Aggression is rewarded — learn to weave light and heavy attacks and you'll melt bosses.
Combat basics
Build Focus with light attacks
Light combos build Focus points. Spend them on a charged Heavy for a huge Staff Smash.
Pick a staff stance
Smash, Pillar and Thrust stances each change your heavy attack — Smash is the reliable all-rounder to start.
Dodge, don't block
There's no shield — perfect-dodge to trigger a counter window rather than trading hits.
Open with a spell
Immobilize (Ch.1 spell) freezes most enemies for a free combo — the backbone of many boss kills.
Drink and refill
Manage your gourd (healing) and brew better medicine; refill at Keeper's Shrines, which also let you respec and fast travel.
Early tips
- Spend Sparks on the skill trees early — a few points in Focus and stamina go a long way.
- Explore for gourds, medicines and Vessels; many are off the main path.
- Collect Celestial materials to craft new staves and armour sets at the shrine.
- Immobilize + charged Heavy is the go-to opener against almost every boss.
