Learn about the 5 most powerful weapons in Black Myth Wukong, their unique perks, attributes, how to unlock them, and more.
Black Myth Wukong might not feature multiple weapons, but it gives players options regarding the game’s primary weapon type – the Staff. As you progress through the main story chapters, you will obtain various crafting materials, either as a reward for defeating certain bosses or completing specific quests. These crafting materials can then be used to create different Staff types or upgrades for existing ones.
Black Myth Wukong is generous enough to dole out new Staff upgrades as you progress through the main storyline. However, there are also some optional weapons that you may completely miss out on, which are vastly superior to the ones that you unlock via progression. Here are the 5 most powerful weapons in Black Myth Wukong that you won’t want to miss out on.
Most powerful weapons (Staff upgrades) in Black Myth Wukong
The most powerful weapon in Black Myth Wukong is theJingubang, which is automatically unlocked upon reaching the finale of the game’s story. However, another weapon that one-ups the Jingubang in terms of attack power and critical damage is theStormflash Loong Staff. Unfortunately, the Stormflash Loong Staff is exclusive to New Game+ and has a rather long list of unlocking requirements.
Apart from the Jingubang and the Stormflash Loong Staff, there’s also theTri-Point Double-Edged Spear, which offers stats similar to those of the Jingunbang but with a different moveset. The Tri-Point Double-Edged Spear is obtained after defeatingErlang Shenin theMei-Jian Peak. That being said, here are the 5 best weapons in Black Myth Wukong:
5) Staff of Blazing Karma
The Staff of Blazing Karma might not deal as much damage as the Bishui Staff or other weapons in the list, but it has a unique trick that makes it viable even in the end game. Apart from its base attack power, the Staff of Blazing Karma can also inflictBurndamage with its charged attacks.LikePoison, theBurnelemental status can passively whittle down a boss’shealth over time. Additionally, the Staff of Blazing Karma grants a passive buff to the Destined One’s Defense and Burn Resistance.
The Staff of Blazing Karma is available to craft in Black Myth Wukong’s Chapter 5 (Flaming Mountain), after defeating theKeeper of Flaming Mountainsand theYin-Yang Fish.
4) Bishui Beast Staff
The Bishui Beast Staff is easily the most powerful weapon in Black Myth Wukong, until you get your hands on the Jingubang. Not only does it easily melt through end-game bosses, but it also deals incredibly high amounts of critical damage. Bishui even surpassed the Jingubang and the Tri-Point Double-Edged Spear in that department.The only downside to using this weapon over something like theStaff of Blazing Karmais that the Bishui Beast Staff has no passive perks apart from the base attack power and critical chance.
The Bishui Beast Staff is available to craft in Chapter 5 (Flaming Mountain) after defeating theBishui Beastoptional boss in the secret area –Bishui Cave.
3) Tri-Point Double-Edged Spear
The Tri-Point Double-Edged Staff is identical to the Jingubang, in terms of attributes. This aligns with theJourney to the Westlore where Erlang’s weapon was the only thing that could match Sun Wukong’sRyui Jingu Bang. However, being a Spear, instead of a Staff, the Tri-Point Double-Edged Spear has a vastly different light attack move set compared to the Jingubang. Additionally, the weapon has a unique perk that increases damage dealt byThrust Stance, and also summons additional projectile swords when performing the Forceful Thrust.
The Tri-Point Double-Edged Spear is rewarded upon defeatingErlang, the Sacred Divinity,The Four Heavenly Kings, andErlang Shen, in Chapter 3’s secret area –Mei-Jian Peak.
2) Jingubang
The Jingubang is obtained automatically as you reach the final stretch of Black Myth Wukong’s main story. As the staff used by Sun Wukong himself, the Jingubang is arguably the most powerful weapon in Black Myth Wukong, at least until you jump into New Game+. Not only does the Jingubang have the most attack power out of any other weapon in the game, but it also has a special perk that limits the depletion of the 4th Focus charge. Furthermore, if the weapons are equipped alongside Wukong’s armor set, it grants a Critical Hit Chance and Spell cooldown buff.
1) Stormflash Loong Staff
The Stormflash Loong Staff is easily the most powerful weapon in Balck Myth Wukong, simply due to the amount of damage it deals as well as the incredibly high Critical Chance. With the Stormflash Loong Staff, most of your attacks are bound to be Critical Hits, especially if equipped alongside the Yakshasa armor set, which is unlocked after completing Chapter 5 (Flaming Mountain). Furthermore, the Stormflash Loong Staff also dealsThunderdamage, which reduces the enemy’s Qi, and staggers them easily. However, the weapon only deals Thunder damage using its charged-heavy strikes.
Thankfully, once fully charged, the weapon is imbued with Thunder for a brief amount of time, allowing you to use its elemental abilities even with the light attack or varied combos. The only downside to this weapon is that itunlocks exclusively in New Game+, and after having defeated the 3 secret Loongsin Black Myth Wukong’s opening chapters.
