The Wandering White spirit, first encountered as an optional boss in Chapter 1, can transform into one of the most powerful offensive tools in Black Myth Wukong. This guide covers how to maximize the potential of this spirit to the point of one-shotting most bosses—even in New Game Plus—through a specialized build focused on crit damage, attack power, and efficient skill allocation.


Why the Wandering White?

The Wandering White spirit skill offers the highest single-hit damage potential of any spirit in the game. It scales directly with:

  • Attack Power: Your weapon’s base attack and bonuses.
  • Crit Chance and Crit Damage: Higher crit chance ensures more frequent powerful hits.
  • Synergy with Skills: Abilities like Cloud Step’s Unveiling Strike dramatically increase damage.

This guide focuses on maximizing these aspects to ensure that each use of the Wandering White spirit hits as hard as possible.


Best Weapons for This Build

  1. High Damage Option:
    • Weapon: Dark Iron Staff (Unlocked in New Game Plus after Chapter 5’s secret area).
    • Effect: Converts a significant portion of your defense into attack power.
    • Result: Potential for nearly 14,000 damage per spirit skill hit.
  2. Consistency Option:
    • Weapon: Adept Spine Shooting Fubon Staff (Unlocked in late game).
    • Effect: +25% crit chance and 120 attack power.
    • Result: Consistent crits with lower peak damage (~9,000 per hit).

Choose based on your preference for higher peak damage or more frequent crits.


Armor and Curio Choices

Armor:

  • Centipede Armor with Venomous Armu (Optional boss drop in Chapter 4).
    • Effect: Increases attack by 20% when poisoned.
    • Gloves Effect: Critical hits apply poison, adding bonus damage.

Curios:

  • Jade Moon Rabbit: Boosts damage reduction.
  • Gold Sun Crow: Increases damage by 3%.
  • Gold Spike Plate: Increases defense, converting to attack with Dark Iron Staff.
  • Beast Buddha: +9% crit damage, dropped by dual-bladed monks.

These choices enhance both survivability and offensive power, ensuring that the spirit skill can hit hard while keeping you protected.


Skill Tree Priorities

Cloud Step:

  • Max out the tree for:
    • Crit Chance: Increased when in stealth.
    • Unveiling Strike: Massive bonus damage on your first attack from stealth.

Immobilize:

  • Invest in Crash for extra damage against immobilized enemies.

Staff Stances:

  • Choose your preferred stance; damage here does not affect the spirit skill.
  • Focus on mobility and crit bonuses for follow-up attacks.

Foundation Skills:

  • Prioritize attack, crit chance, and crit damage.
  • Health and defense upgrades for survivability.

These skill choices maximize both the power of your spirit skills and your survivability in prolonged fights.


The Optimal Playstyle: One-Shot Strategy

  1. Activate Cloud Step:
    • Use Cloud Step and wait a few seconds to activate crit and damage buffs.
  2. Drink from the Gourd:
    • Use the Immortal Blessing Gourd for an attack boost.
    • Poison yourself to activate the Centipede Armor bonus.
  3. Immobilize the Target:
    • Cast Immobilize to hold the boss in place and trigger bonus damage.
  4. Use the Wandering White Skill:
    • Break stealth with the spirit skill to unleash a potential one-shot.
  5. Follow-Up if Necessary:
    • If the boss survives, switch to staff attacks boosted by the same buffs.

Conclusion: Dominate with the Wandering White

This build turns the Wandering White spirit into an unstoppable force capable of one-shotting most bosses in Black Myth Wukong. With the right weapons, armor, and skill setup, you can maximize your damage potential and breeze through even the toughest encounters.

Focus on crit chance, attack power, and strategic use of immobilization to unleash devastating spirit skills. With this build, your journey to the west will be a path of destruction for any who stand in your way.
