I’ve played trough the entire game and I thought it was a good game in terms of combat lore etc. But in terms of customization and gear it’s a c minus. Just look at Wu Longs different armor sets, ability’s, while the game itself was definitely worse. Its build verity was so much better and interesting that I did play new game + there just because I wanted to try them out. In Wukong when you get the final armor you are just retarded for not using it and handicapping yourself. Every piece has bonus stats that no other armor have.

The tri point spear is very underestimated imo. The best part of its special attack is not the buff itself but the fact that it's fast attack with many, many hit counts. When combined with the golden set, it charges up Qi like crazy, enabling you to do spirit skill in higher frequency.

For the ppl struggling with the Yellow Loon boss: Use the thrust stance, don't stay too close nor too far, stay somewhere in the middle (1 full Wukong height from your head to his legs) - reason is when you are either too close or too far he will be aggressive, when you're in the middle he will just walk towards you. Charge the attack up to 3 times and blast him, it will take some time but be patient, when you see him charging his attack, stop yourself from charging and focus on dodging, you will have to dodge first 2 attacks while gaining ground between him (try to get the same mid point distance again). Otherwise he will do a full combo of about 5-6 dodges required. When you drop him to half health he will start to dodge your charge immediately with thunder jump, when I see him do that I start to charge the attack to 2 focus points and then blasting him, it seemed it worked better then - it wouldn't trigger the thunder jump as much. Or it could be that he always thunder jumps away 2 times in a row and after that you can hit him few times (after some time he will use the thunder jump again), I was able to hit him with 3 focus point charge from time to time, although 2 FP charge was more effective once below half HP. This strat worked for me, hopefully it is clear enough and it helps someone. I will explain more if needed in the comments. Edit - I also used No skill spell that boost your attack 2x but removes other spells

ik im 2 months late but you can stunlock most bosses for an extremely long time using the tri point staff by using light attack until you get the move where you stab them many times (unless you see the enemy start to attack then skip to next step) then press heavy attack twice for the sword shooting move (which stunlocks all enemies as far as i have tested) then immediately after pressing the heavy attack button, repeat this process until you dont have focus points left. also its easier to do tactical retreat with the spears.

Not that I'd use the Visionary Centipede staff, but I guess it would synergize decently with the "super secret" Venomous Armguard the Venom Daoist gives you in Chp. 4, at the expense of his arms. These armguards inflict Poison Base upon landing a critical hit, and the staff gives 10% crit chance, so sure. I unlocked the Golden Loong before finishing Ch.4 and oh boy, what a weapon! I am a smash stance lover and I still use the smash stance. The 108 base damage is a big jump! I am not "forced" to use the pillar stance, but when I build up to 3 focus points I can simply switch to pillar stance and unleash the heavy. This special heavy attack seems to stun almost every boss that has had the misfortune of standing in my way since, and I take full advantage of the lightning debuff when switching back to smash stance. Your description of the Stormflash is hilarious.. "And...and...and...and..." Best run on sentence ever. lol

How would a 15 damage difference between fuban and jingubang, but such a huge difference in crit chance lead to jingubang having higher dps? Also fuban does quite a lot more damage than jingubang on heavy attacks from what I’ve seen since the spines can crit too.

@Arclor 4 ай бұрын

@drillodoger6707 You can actually estimate the "dps" by assuming an average amount of crits based on crit chance... so for example if you have a 20% crit rate, you assume 2 out of 10 attacks are crits. Formula for it is DMG * (1+(CR)*(CD-100)/100)) DMG is the amount you hit after your attack goes through all the nebulous multipliers and enemy defence. You have to test against any enemy to figure this number out. I used the damage I got from a non-crit using a 3-focus charged heavy on the same enemy each time. You have to take an average though since even the exact same strike in the exact same enemy has variable damage (+/- 5 %? Something like that). CR is your crit rate as a proportion (so 23% is 0.23), and CD is your crit damage (not as a proportion, just drop the % sign and take the whole #). I don't know the full damage formula this game uses, but CD is the last multiplier that applies after your base attack goes through all the other multipliers and enemy defence. Using this formula, all of the mythical staves are actually very close to each other in dps, with black iron pulling ahead significantly more than the rest of the pack when you have 500+ defence. Like you said though, Fuban has the spines plus the spines can crit. I didn't account for that because I couldn't get them to consistently land (many enemies including those your size are too small to get hit by the spines). Jingubang has the advantage of being able to store the 4th focus point, so outside of flawless gameplay, you will hit more 4-focus smashes with it than with fuban. Their base dps are so close though, that I'd go with whichever has a passive you like more. Jingubang and fuban are def my favorite for that.

@Arclor 4 ай бұрын

@drillodoger6707 plugging in 0 for dark iron, and 25 for fuban crit rates, if seems yes that it still outdamages fuban, even when you have a lot of crit damage (180%+). They're closer in dps at 0% natural crit rate though. Just wanna stress again that this is raw damage in a controlled setting. The spines from fuban, and set bonuses that benefit from you scoring crits could make fuban more effective overall. I don't think I have the time to make an accurate model for all of that lol

Spoilers!: For those struggling with the Chapter 3 secret Boss: It is VERY easy, tbh. The hardest part is the Block Meter. 1. You Can use the Plantain Fan to deplete it ALL with a single use. 2. Azure Dust transformation also deals a massive chunk out of the Block. 3. The quick transformation spirit called "Top Takes Bottom, Bottom Takes Top" to deplete his Block Meter more and do decent damage. (Once it is upgraded, it works wonders on his health and Block.) 4. You can use Parry to block the hard telegraphed attacks they do while in the air. Using these I beat him really easily, it was a cake walk and first tried with this set up from a Video I saw.

If you want to get frisky with it, don't use the plantain fan in the first phase, time his block break, with a 4 point focus thingy when he's about to go the 2nd phase. If you break his block and trigger the 2nd phase attack. It SKIPS it, and you go straight into 2nd phase on top of doing crazy damage. And then you can easily trigger his 3rd phase disappearance with the wandering wight heavy, or ig top takes bottom smashes. Dodge the initial flurry, and then, immediately transform (azure dust) to soften him up a bit. Tank/dodge a combo, and then plantain fan him, summon clones, just empty the house and he dies. This is from NG testing, I'm sure it's even easier in NG+ because of the unified mind skill. I think you can actually skip the 3rd phase animation too with the fan but I never felt the need to. It's a bit more complicated. But you can damn near script the fight if you get it down.

Golden Long So far has been a favorite Weapon, outside of specific situations, i have pillar stance equipped all the time and it absolutely melts if you pluck of many right before you set off your charged attack.

The staff of blazing karma is craftable before the boss of ch5 is defeated. As well, while the explosion is underwhelming and crknge, it has probably the fastest scorch build in the game. The scorcg happens at the tip of the staff, so you have to get close to the enemy to knock them into it.

If you use the chitin staff with pillar stance with 3 focus points the healing is actually pretty decent

Currently in Chapter 4 and just crafted Spikeshaft staff. it now (after an update or patch note I guess) also gives you +30 Max Mana aside from 80 base attack.

For Yellow Loong I strongly recommend rock solid and pluck of many maxed out. Pluck of many, immobilize and dump damage, then since pluck is maxed duplicates can use some spells, including immobilize. Withering Wight for his big boy damage, and use blacksmith transformation. For the transformation block to build focus and go into his special mode. These things should dump his HP to about 1/4 health. You gotta be pretty diligent at that point. DO NOT use pluck of many with chubai thrust staff either, because you and your dupes will be pushing each other out the way and wasting damage opportunities.

idk if this has been pointed out yet but the tri-point spear is not as hard to get as you say in the video, namely you DO NOT need to kill all 4 loongs to get to the secret boss, all you need to do is complete the secret side quests in each chapter

All I’m saying is if u are fighting the great sage u would want to use the tri-point double edged spear cos he’s going be catching your heavy attacks with the staffs and tossing u away so u want to use the spear for the thrust with the other extra spears to actually deal damage without him catching it and wasting ur focus

Since i watched tones of shielded enemies being smashed by you while sharing with us the most comprehensive video on this topic, I can't asbtain myself from not pointing out (in case someone wasn't aware of) that you can use rocksolid against a shield attack therefore shattering it along with the additional defencebar. Thought i was doing something wrong since i appareantly came across only on staffs i dint like that much. My state of contentment was: i guess just more damage is better than ... nothing. I sticked with the stone staff for the most part, then switched to kangjin staff for the aesthetics rather then the stats or bonuses :)) felt great to summon lighting down on the enemy i'm pounding XD just to switch to the spider for some more damage and from this one to the visionary because again for the aesthtic and seemingly shallow sake (i dont enjoy seeing spider legs moving crawling like at each end of my staff ;) I hardly cand bring myself finishing it because i dont want it to end. Such a great game. Thank god ng+ exists.

@jasonwhatley2479 4 ай бұрын

For the staffs with healing effects the health gained on focus skill really boosts it imo, and the crits giving spell cooldown is better than ya think with some luck and maxing crit rate skills then adding a potion you can make for free easily.

20:54, you can always cheese Yellow Loong with a Smash Heavy charge. Stay a distance away from him and charge. IF you go too far though, he starts doing ranged stuff. Took me like 2 tries to beat him after finding out the cheese and the range I can do.

Same can be done w thrust stance with less risk since you don’t have to move, and it also counters any lunge attacks he does with 2-3 focus points

With the tri point spear, the passive sword attack is mainly for breaking shields. Even in ng++ going against erlang three or four hits of that passive takes away his shield

I got the game 3 weeks ago and beat it with secret ending and all a week a half ago. Really fun game, gave me some real good challenges, there are bosses you have to be aggressive with, others you have to be patient really really good game, I'm playing the plus now. And for me the pillar stance is my favorite, I really don't find a use for the thrust stance and the smash stance will pretty much always be useful. Anyways, yellowloong was a pretty good fight, it took me like 5 hours to beat him, but a lot of that was from me going off to completely rebuild my stats 😂

Visionary Centipede Staff is superior than Spider Celestial Staff if you have the correct build. I mean you can easily poison the enemy with Venomous Armguard and the healing is actually pretty good in early game when you still have a little max HP (if you already in NG++++ of course the healing unnoticeable). I recommend to get Visionary Centipede Staff in first play through, and you can get Spider Celestial Staff in NG+ to upgrade it to Adept Shooting Spine Staff. Visionary Centipede Staff is one of the best Mid Game first play through you can get.

i wish the game let us choose any 1 of the passives from the same weapon branch to use, so that we could use earlier passives on later upgrades that have better stats.

@phrostix7727 4 ай бұрын

I think that you are underrating the Visionary Centipede Staff. You do not need to swap to a Spirit or Transformation, just combines it to with Venemous Armguard which, while not part of a set technically, it shares the set bonus with the Centipede set. This detail I believe should bump up the value of this staff,. That 10% crit chance is huge for the Armguards which proc on crit but only offer 3% crit themselves.

@phrostix7727 4 ай бұрын

Spikeshaft Staff works on Tactical Retreat not just Resolute Strike. This is particularly useful for thrust users because Whirling Thrust does not generate focus. This particular synergy I think should bump up the staff a bit, though the lack of crit rate does still hurt it since Whirling Thrust is best on crit builds. Additionally, this passive also syngergizes very well with Skyfall Strike which does more damage based on the number of focus points built up. Personally, I am only using Counterstrike and Tactical specifically for these counters; if not for the special parries I would just run pure heavy attack builds.

I'm in chapter 5, first playthrough. While I've enjoyed the VARIETY in this game, the things that are underwhelming are: staves, armor, light attack combos, and the combat in general. The heavy attack and spells are what I've relied upon, along with a lot of re-spec with Sparks. If Game Science makes another action adventure game, they really need to change the combat and maybe make obtaining a new weapon more meaningful beyond how much CRIT chance it provides.

This is a super cool tier list! 🐵 It's interesting how some weapons feel way better when you get to know their combos.

Wouldn't that just spice up the gameplay? 🤔✨ Keep it up, Syrobe! 🙌

Love the staff and spear designs but felt overall they were limited in quantity. Now by that I mean after seeing what we can get it made my expectations shoot up thinking "Yo what if we get Zhu Bajie's rake or Wanjing's Spade" Im happy with what we have and honestly excited for the game's future either in DLC expansions or a planned sequel. Either way, go play Black Myth: Wukong for the PS5 and PC

U should do a vid about armor!! Specifically like late game armor sets for ppl in NG+ and above. There’s already plenty of videos of ppl grading all the armor sets in normal base game, but for NG+ and above (when you can upgrade mostly everything to mythical) I haven’t seen any videos of. On top of that, I notice you almost always wearing that yakusha armor all the time. Would you say that’s some of the best armor in the game? (Assuming everything has been upgraded to mythical) I’m assuming simply bcuz of the constant damage buff u get and not caring about the damage you take bcuz ur good at souls games etc.

The Visionary centipede staff that heals you when the enemy is poisoned pairs so well with Elder armorworm you can literally keep Boss in poisoned 24 seven so you get a fourth of your health back Every time you do three point heavy attack thanks to the added health of the stance tree perk. If you combine the centipede set with the alternative gaunlets and self poison You got a massive boost to attack and thanks for the elder you get a massive boost to quit chance. As for the tripoint spear you do the damage of the thrust plus the sorts so if you’re close enough to get the thrust and you do like 1000 damage plus the 10 or 15 additional hits of the swords And those swords will go out even if you’re not down. Plus with that thrust it’s very easy to spam so you can do it back to back to back for a lot of stacking damage

So for me at ng +4 i use mainly the fuban staff with the movement speed armor. Its honestly great cause alot of bosses let u cheese spam running 3 focus smashes and with this build it chunks and provide enough healing to trade. Normal enemies also get 1 shot alot of time. I break out the jingubang only for bosses that i struggle with which is only erlang and broken shell at this point. So in essence i found that for boss killing jingubang is better than fuban for boss killing but exploring fuban kills thing alot faster and easier. I can see the trident being good cause i can see it doing alot of damage in a more sustained way but i mainly only used the smash stance the entire game focusing mainly on getting high focus for big damage.

For me i've just completed NG+2 and beat the snot out of Erlang Shen on my first go using the Bull Kings full set, the Dark Iron Staff, and for acessories i use the Buddha's mask for +9% crit damage, Amber Beads for increased focus charge rate, Cats Eye Beads for +3% crit chance, and lastly the Golden Spikeplate for an extra +30 defense and slight reflect damage. For spirit transformation i used to use Tigers Acolyte for the +10% crit damage bonus, but i've started using Top Takes Bottom/Bottom Takes Top spirit, for a +45 additional defence boost at only a -10 loss in attack power. Relic is usually the Weavers Needle for extra crit chance/damage. Total Defence is 690+ , critical chance is 9% without the needle, and 11% with the needle, while Critical Damage is 185% without the needle and 195% with the needle. If i use Spirit Sealing the crit chance skyrockets upto 28%. Base damage for Dark Iron Staff is 235, and thats without adding in the extra buff from using the Spirit Seal spell. I can probably tweak the build to be better, but i have to say the Tenacity and extra defence you get from being hurt while wearing the Bull King set is awesome. For my gourd i've the Supreme Gourd, using the Loong drink (heals 30% max health, but massively increases damage of next attack) with the following soaks: Bee Mountain Soak (chance not to consume a gourd use), Iron Pellet (cant be interrupted with attacks while drinking, and gain moderate damage reduction), Tiger Relic (moderately increases critical chance for a short duration) and Purple Veined Peach Pit (massively increases health recovery using the gourd when at critical health).
