In Black Myth Wukong, you fight not only with your staff and combos but also with spells, transformations, and powerful spirits. There are many of them, but not all are worth it. Therefore, we present to you the 5 best spirits that you should use situationally.
What are spirits? In Black Myth Wukong, your chosen one can absorb various spirits under the guidance of the wise man that enemies drop upon dying. If you incorporate one of these spirits into your build, you can execute the spirit’s attack for a brief moment to harm your enemies.
Spirits are important in battles as they can provide you with a decisive advantage. Therefore, we present to you 5 of the currently best spirits in the game along with their locations and ratings, so you know which ones to pack. With our directory, you can quickly jump to the individual spirits.
We will adjust and expand the list if we find better spirits. In our current comparisons, these 5 options were the best of their kind.

Both are excellent for crushing and incapacitating bosses as well as smaller enemies. Did you know there’s a secret boss in Chapter 1? We’ll show you where to find it.
