If you’re diving into the mythical world of Black Myth: Wukong, finding the best armor is necessary to overcome a lot of difficulties. Armor in the game comes in many types, with many of them, including pieces of armor, can be crafted and upgraded upon leveling up from one stage to another.
Black Myth: Wukong Best Armor
Early Game Armor
1. Pilgrim Armor
Considered to be among the best armors for players that prefer speed and dodging, the Pilgrim armor enhances your character’s sprinting speed and allows for Gourd usage while sprinting.
It also increases your attack power for every second of the sprint, until it reaches ten seconds. If you reduce your speed before the full 10 seconds, you still get a slightly better attack bonus.
It is highly recommended for players specializing in Smash Stance, first of all, because it is one of the simplest ways to increase damage per hit. But getting there, strategizing needs a small amount of time and it only opens up for a lesser amount of time when the rival is sprinting.
The wearer of the armor is acquired when the player secures the Pilgrim armor at the Guanyin Temple Keeper’s Shrine in Chapter 1. This consumes very little resources (Will and Yarn) and when promoted to mythical rarity it even regenerates focus when sprinting.
2. Galeguard Armor
While not being nearly as powerful as other early game armor sets, Galeguard is between the Pilgrim armor and some of the mid game alternatives. Its defense is much higher (88), and it lets Perfect Dodges, restore Focus and slightly decrease skill’s cool down time.
However, it is a small amount of cooldown reduction, and the armor’s Mana regeneration effect is not easy to activate because it requires three successive Perfect Dodges.
The Galeguard armor can be unlocked in Chapter 2 after the battle near the “Rockrest Flat” Keeper’s Shrine, with the Stone Vanguard. As the Pilgrim armor can be upgraded to mythical quality, but just like the armor available soon you’ll likely find a better version.
Mid-Game Armor
In chapter 3 you get to unlock Zodiac Village where armor can be upgraded to higher rarity tiers. These following options are some of the best mid-game options: –
1. Iron Armor
The Iron armor is a rather powerful option for players who like to use the Rock-Solid spell to block. After use of Rock Solid to block opponents’ attacks, it raises damage and restores Focus, essentially turning a defensive maneuver into an offense boost.
Also, wearing the full set increase the generosity of a skill called Rock Solid and therefore makes it more accessible during combat. This set is particularly valuable for players who like to play defensively most of the time.
2. Golden Armor
The Golden armor supersedes the previous sets at mid game as it increases the attack, every time a Vessel or Spirit Skill is activated. Also, it returns a lot of Focus upon the completion of the Spirit Skill. However, these skills can be used only occasionally but the attack bonus remains active for 20 secs and aids in fights.
Most helpful for players who rely on critical hit, set is used to gain Qi whenever the enemy is defeated, or a critical hit is scored and thus the Spirit Skill can be used more frequently.
You get the Golden armor only after clearing the Chapter 3 and after defeating the last enemy called by Yellowbrow. It is also transformable into mythical rarity, so it is perfect for the endgame setup.
Endgame Armor
For the final stages of Black Myth: Wukong, what can be considered some of the greatest armor sets are dropped which offer tremendous enhancements to help players deal with the game’s difficulties.
1. Yaksha Armor
The Yaksha armor is by far the strongest endurance set. Your attack power is increased when you have a low HP and the armor enhancement increases the damage given and received even more.
This means that you are able to do very large amount of damage to your attackers but at the same time they are able to easily kill you if they have decided to attack you.
It also improves the damage from Pillar Stance’s sweeping Gale and churning Gale combo attacks. But it is dangerous to use if you value other stances, because these combinations are very vulnerable to interruption. This armor can be unlocked by completing Chapter 5 and defeating the Yaksha King at the end.
2. Monkey King Armor
This set is also called the Gold Suozi armor: it raises the chance to make a critical hit when casting a spell and decreases the cast time of spells with a critical hit received. Also, it lets you maintain your fourth Focus point for as long as you want, which can help you perform powerful strikes on time.
3. Bull King Armor
Of course, if you are more of a ‘tanking-the-damage-type’, then the Bull King armor is just ideal. Despite having an astonishing defense of 400 points, it can take moderate Chill and Burn.
It gains both Defense and Focus whenever it is damaged, which is perfect for those players who just wish to endure certain battles while avoiding pretty much all hostile actions.
However, Perfect Dodges are inaccessible while wearing all armor pieces, but you will receive tenacity, making it more difficult to stagger you.
Conclusion
These are the top armor sets in Black Myth: Wukong, to assist you in your survival and, in fact, outperforming all opposition from the game.
