The high number of bosses in Black Myth: Wukong is one of the main attractions. However, there are other things in the game that are deserving of equal, if not more praise. Black Myth: Wukong has tackled the problem of fights turning repetitive by including a myriad of skills.

There are five skill trees, each of which addresses a certain trait of the character. Players can upgrade their character and alter the style in whichever way they see fit. However, they will not be able to access some of the skill trees right away.
