Black Myth: Wukong - Poison Bane Build Guide

Opinion: As a seasoned gamer with over 100 playthroughs under my belt, I can confidently say that the Poison Build is one of the most exciting and rewarding builds to master in Black Myth: Wukong. With the right equipment, skills, and strategies, you can deal a significant amount of Poison damage while also taking less damage yourself.


In a more accessible manner, let’s discuss “Toxins” and “Antidotes.” These are strategic approaches that enemies or bosses in a game might use to harm the player, often referred to as “Poison effects.” However, it’s also essential to understand the counterpart, where the player can leverage these tactics to amplify their own “Poison damage,” while simultaneously inflicting the “Bane” effect on the enemy. This tactical approach is known as the “Poison Bane build.”

With Poison inflicting continuous damage over an extended period, gamers have ample opportunity to devise strategies. This extensive tutorial offers insights into the necessary gear and overall tactics for effectively employing this build

Best Equipment For Poison Build

Weapon Choices

Initially, regarding your weapon choice, it varies based on your specific gameplay. For this particular build, I recommend crafting the “Staff of Spines” in NG+, a staff that boasts a substantial critical chance of 25%. When you use a Heavy Attack on an enemy while focusing points, it lashes out spines at surrounding foes. To construct this weapon, gather three Sky-Piercing Horns; these can be obtained from defeating “Fuban”, the Scorpionlord, and the “Hundred-Eyed Daoist Master”

If you’re a newcomer, you might find the “Focus Points” or “Spine-Shooting Staff” useful in your adventure. The Focus Points aid in recovery, much like the Spine-Shooting Staff, but they can also harm your foes if you’re in the “Poisoned state.” The Critical Chance of this weapon is roughly equivalent to the NG+ staff, yet you can refine it as the fourth chapter progresses

Vessel, Spirit, and Armor

For the Vessel, consider the option that elevates Quality and boosts Critical Hit Chance, as well as Critical Damage when equipped. The decisive choice is the Poison weapon, which escalates the Poison damage you inflict when equipped, and employing it in Combat enables you to inflict Poison Damage in a specific zone by penetrating your opponent’s Scorpion tail

For optimal performance with the Armor, choosing the piece that lessens incoming damage and amplifies outgoing damage against enemies in a Poisoned state is your best bet. However, to activate this beneficial effect, you’ll need to equip all four pieces of it. In contrast, when it comes to the Armguard, going for the piece that also contributes to the set bonus is a wiser choice

Curios, Gourds, and Drinks

The Supreme Gourd is the best option as it has 10 Sips, and you need quite a lot not only for healing but also to self-inflict Poison. For the Drink, you can choose for the additional damage on the next track and four Soak slots. and Soaks are a must to increase the overall damage of the build further.

Choosing Curios is beneficial because it enhances the Focus you earn, and they become available in Chapter 5. Additionally, these Curios can be obtained from defeating enemies, allowing you to gather several of them during a single gameplay session and use them as needed. Other options for Curios include:

Best Skills For Poison Build

The skill that you need the most for this build is Mobile Spin. This ability allows players to spin their staff around, deflecting projectiles and moving forward. The Skills below Mobile Spin on the Tree reduces the Stamina cost for the Staff Spin and increases the Focus gained from successful hits with the Mobile Spin. As the staff choices do not favor any particular Stance, you can unlock the abilities of the Stance you are comfortable with. The Thurst Stance can be useful to create a distance from the enemy after using every Focus point.

To make your statement more accessible, let’s rephrase it with simpler terms:

General Strategy For Poison Build

Before the fight, consider taking enhancement pills to boost both your offense and defense. It’s crucial to activate your Gourd immediately due to its Soak ability. You’ll also poison yourself slightly, but the Armor set piece bonus will reduce damage from that Bane. The enemy might get poisoned when you score critical hits thanks to your Armguard’s passive effect, which you’ve heavily invested in

In a more friendly and approachable manner, let me rephrase that for you:

In a battle, it’s important to keep an eye on your health, as your Gourd could be causing poison damage to you, even when it seems like you’re not being hurt directly. Stay vigilant!

Employing the spell “A Bunch of Plucks” could prove beneficial, as your duplicates will boost your chances of poisoning the opponent when their attacks are critical strikes. However, take note that this effect only occurs if the attacks are successful critical hits. Furthermore, pairing “A Bunch of Plucks” with the spell Immobilize can deal a significant amount of damage
