Discover everything you need to know in our All Thrust Stance Skills and Talents List Guide for Black Myth: Wukong!
In Black Myth: Wukong, you can progress and strengthen your character build by unlocking new stances. Moreover, you can refine those stances further by unlocking talents. Talents are passive boosts to the stances that you unlock with Spark Points. The Thrust Stance is a slower but longer-range stance designed to deal with much damage caused by charged attacks and powerful combos.
You earn Spark Points in the game by defeating enemies. When you defeat an enemy, you will be granted Willpower. Then, after your Willpower bar fills up, you will get a Spark Point.
Finally, you can respec your Spark Points anytime during the game. This freedom will facilitate combat strategy and allow you to modify your build to exploit boss weaknesses or combat style.
All Thrust Stance Skills and Talents – Black Myth: Wukong
The Thrust stance talent tree is broken up into two paths, with the left focusing on damage, while the right focuses on survivability and tactical retreat. Unlike other stances, you must pick the Whirling Thrust skill to advance down the line. Therefore, this skill becomes critical to activating your skills, talents, and passives. Players should invest in this skill tree if they want a longer striking distance or counterattack heavy gameplay.
There are 10 Thurst Stance talents available to unlock in Black Myth: Wukong and each will grant a different type of passive boost. There are no active skills or spells available. You simply need to activate your stance to use the passive abilities gained while in that stance.
Below are all the Thrust Stance Talents, Skills, and Abilities in Black Myth Wukong:
Thrust Stance
As with all Stances, the first Talent in the tree simply unlocks the stance for use. The Thrust Stance allows you to charge a heavy attack that can hit enemies at a range. This is a powerful ability granting you much more versatility in how you can engage your enemies in battle. Additionally, the range seems to be much further and can be helpful when needing range to target a boss.
Borrowed Strength
The Borrowed Strength Talent is a simple one that simply increases Stamina Recovery when you hit enemies while in the Thrust Stance. Since most actions in the game use Stamina in one way or another, this is a great option to take early if you are investing in the Thrust Stance tree.
Offense in Defense
The Offense in Defense Talent improves on the Varied Combo while in Thrust Stance. Instead of hitting the enemy multiple times, the Destined One performs a Tactical Retreat, which other abilities in the Thrust Stance tree build off of. If you follow up this Tactical Retreat with a Focus Point Heavy Attack, you’re able to deal a powerful Forceful Thrust attack.
Tactical Retreat is critical to unlocking the most out of the skill tree. You can eventually gain temporary invincibility, so practicing the combo is important.
Whirling Thrust
While in Thrust Stance, the Whirling Thrust Talent allows you to do a special Whirling Thrust Light Attack after any of the listed above criteria. These powerful attacks build off of the previous combos, making it easy to do after a Tactical Retreat of Forceful Thrust. It can also be done simply after a regular Thrust Stance charged Heavy Attack.
Force Cascade
Whirling Thrust was already a powerful ability for its sheer combo potential. Now, the Force Cascade Talent will allow you to build up a rather large stack of increased critical chance for every successful hit with it. This can take your damage to the next level, and it is an absolute must-pick for those investing in the Thrust stance.
Adaptability
Further building off the Whirling Thrust combo, the Adaptability Talent allows you to use a Heavy Attack after the Whirling Thrust to do a Tactical Retreat. This might seem small, but remember you can build more combos off of that Tactical Retreat to go into another Whirling Thrust combo. This is a powerful Talent that is worth taking.
Relentless
The Relentless Talent makes your charge Heavy Attack while in Thrust Stance do more damage to staggered and repelled enemies. There are several ways to stagger and repel enemies in the game, so this is a great Talent to choose if you find yourself surrounded by enemies with those status effects.
Lucky Strike
The Lucky Strike talent centers on performing a Tactical Retreat to gain brief Invincibility. The Offense and Defense talent is critical to making this happen, combining light and heavy attacks to hop backward. Therefore, make sure to combine the two talents if you want increased survivability.
Deadly Dance
The Deadly Dance talent is a powerful talent that builds off of several other aspects of the Destined Ones fighting style, not just Thrust Stance. You must first have the ability to use 4 Focus Points before this talent becomes useful, but once you do, you will automatically perform a Thrust Heavy Attack when you dodge. Note that the fourth Focus Point is volatile and cannot be held indefinitely, so this effect won’t last forever even if you don’t perform any Focus Point Attacks.
Ebb and Flow
The Ebb and Flow talent synergies well with Lucky Strike. After performing a tactical retreat avoidance combo, you forgo stamina cost upon seeing through enemies in a tactical retreat. This is meant to allow you to spend your highest stamina skill after your avoid an attack and can see through enemies.
