Mastering combat in Black Myth: Wukong relies heavily on precise dodging, as there is no dedicated block button. A well-timed perfect dodge slows down time, creates an after-image, and allows for counterattacks while increasing your Focus.
During the tutorial boss fight against Erlang, focus on practicing your dodging skills against his straightforward spear techniques. His sweeping and thrusting attacks often slow down, providing opportunities to learn timing. Later, against enemies like the Wolf Scout and Wolf Swornsword, their slow attacks are ideal for testing light combo attacks and dodging.
When facing a Wolf Soldier, who wields a shield that can deflect attacks and knock you off-balance, be ready to execute a perfect dodge to counter their attacks. This mechanic is crucial for survival and building Focus.
