Mastering the controls is paramount in Black Myth: Wukong. Movement is fluid, allowing for precise positioning during combat. Your primary actions include light attacks, heavy attacks, dodging, and using your Healing Gourd. Remember, there is no dedicated block button; successful combat relies heavily on timing your dodges. A 'perfect dodge' will briefly slow time, creating an opening for counterattacks and increasing your Focus. Experiment with these mechanics early on to build muscle memory.
