InBlack Myth: Wukong, there are many opportunities to upgrade your character’s abilities and combat prowess. One of those options is through unlocking skills and talents under theFoundationskill trees. The Foundation skill trees are skills that enhance the core gameplay mechanics. They ultimately enhance your basic combat power, defense, and endurance. They are divided into 3 trees:Stamina,Martial Arts, andSurvival.
Monitoring your stamina usage in combat is crucial to not burning out and opening yourself to attack. You’re not a machine who can unflinchingly continue to batter enemies with your staff combos without an exhaustive cost. Enhancing your ability to recover stamina more rapidly or cater to specific attack strategies is in your best interest as you progress in your journey. Below are all the skills that fall under the stamina category as well as their cost.
