Black Myth: Wukong

Best Transformations

By
Shane Williams

Black Myth: Wukong is a tough Action RPG, but there is a variety of tools at your disposal which can make your adventure slightly easier, such as "Transformations" iconTransformations. There are 10 Transformations throughout the game, so you may be wondering which ones are the best to choose. On this page, we’ll provide you with the necessary information to make it easier to choose.

Top 3 Transformations in Black Myth: Wukong

As mentioned above there’s 10 Transformations and we recommend that you collect and try them all before settling with one. If you have missed any, then check out our All Transformations Locations for their locations. Once you’ve found them all, then we believe the following to the best:

Golden Lining

(1 of 2) Equip the Golden Lining Transformation

Skill Type Description
Lightening Dance Light Attack Dance with a blade of lightning, slashing repeatedly with deft finesse.
Fatal Shadow Heavy Attack Quietly charges in the shadows and executes a fatal attack upon release.
Transformation Trait Trait Transforms into "Yellow Loong" iconYellow Loong, gaining immunity to Shock and ability to see through the enemy. Each attack inflicts Thunder Bane.
Unscathed Varied Combo Initiating a Heavy Attack during a Light Attack Combo triggers a Varied Combo. If the enemy strikes during this Varied Combo, you will be able to see through their move and counterattack, earning 1 Focus Point. Heavy Attack: Death Trilogy With at least 1 Focus Point, Death Trilogy replaces Fatal Shadow: "Yellow Loong" iconYellow Loong leaps into the air, summoning Thunder to his blade point, and slams onto the enemy’s forehead, dealing massive damage. If followed by another Heavy Attack upon landing, another leap and slam can be performed. This sequence can be repeated up to 3 times. Once this move is executed, all Focus will be emptied.

The "Golden Lining" iconGolden Lining can be obtained by defeating the third loong boss during the Loong Scales Quest Guide quest line. This transformation is one of the best once you get the hang of it, as the quickness of its combos and it’s lightning based attacks allows you to deal tons of damage to your opponent.

Red Tides

(1 of 2) Equip the Red Tides Transformation

Skill Type Description
Moon Dance Light Attack Continuously slash at the enemy with spiraling blades ablaze, flames dancing across the sky like a full moon, building up Focus.
Moon Chase Heavy Attack Unleash a series of dash attacks. When at full Focus, dodging in any direction and following it with a Heavy Attack performs a powerful new move.
Transformation Trait Trait Transform into a wolf guai and inflict Scorch Bane on the enemy with each attack.

The "Red Tides" iconRed Tides is one of the first transformations you’ll get and it can be unlocked by defeating the "Guangzhi" iconGuangzhi boss near the Outside the Forest Shrine in the Forest of Wolves in Chapter 1. This transformation allows you to inflict burn on your opponent which will deal damage overtime, but more importantly its heavy attack has a longish range which allows you to close the gap against bosses.

Umbral Abyss

(1 of 2) Equip the Umbral Abyss Transformation

Equip the Umbral Abyss Transformation (left), for its freeze ability. (right)

Skill Type Description
Sprouting Spring Light Attack The long blade whirls, delivering consecutive slashes to build up Focus. The last powerful slash deals additional Damage.
Withering Winter Heavy Attack Slower but heavier, this move deals higher Damage, and builds up Focus faster. The last powerful slash deals additional Damage.
Transformation Trait Trait Transform into the "Macaque Chief" iconMacaque Chief, immune to Frost, wielding a longsword that unleashes Frost Bane. Focus built up before transformation can be converted for use afterward.
Cold Heart Spell With full Focus during transformation, chant the Spell and raise the blade to summon a snowstorm and enter a Cold-Hearted State. In this state, all blade slashes are empowered, and Dodging transforms you into clouds and mist, enabling agile retreats. Spell: Cold Resolution In Cold-Hearted State, this spell enables instant closing in on the enemy, consuming Focus and Might to deal significant Damage.

The Umbrall Abyss is simply obtained once you’ve completed chapter 3. This transformation is a great candidate for most players, as its attacks are extremely powerful and it allows you to freeze your opponents which means you can get some easy hits in without worrying about taking damage.
