Summary
With over 90 bosses,Black Myth: Wukongis one of the more challenging action games on the market. It is an adaptation of the legend of Sun Wukong, apopular figure in Chinese mythology.
As players continue their adventure, bosses and mobs become stronger, so they need the best equipment to deal with them. Luckily, there is a myriad of armor sets inBlack Myth: Wukongthat will help players get the better of their enemies. Some of these armor sets are upgradeable, while others are already at the highest level. As a result of so many options, it can be difficult to pick just one.
7Folk Opera Set
Great For Farming Will
TheFolk Opera Setmight not be best suited for the latter chapters of the game, but it is an excellent choice for those trying to farm extra Will in the first few hours of the game. The Folk Opera Set has four pieces, which includeFolk Opera Mask,Folk Opera Almsgiving Armor,Folk Opera Leather Bracers, andFolk Opera Buskins.
Unfortunately, players will have tobuy the Deluxe Edition of the gameto obtain the entire set. Currently, there is no other way to get the Folk Opera Armor set.
6Iron Set
Makes Rock Solid Easier To Use
The Iron Set is associated with theRock SolidSpell. It includesIron Horned Helm,Iron-Tough Armor,Iron-Tough Gauntlets, andIron-Tough Greaves. The Rock Solid spell is the closest thing to Parry inBlack Myth: Wukong. Unfortunately, it cannot be used in rapid succession.
This is where the Iron Set comes in. Equipping the Destined One with two parts of the Iron Set will increase the amount of Focus gained by successfully deflecting an attack. If players put all four pieces on the Destined One, successfulRock Solid deflections willconsiderably reduce the cooldown of the spells.
5Galeguard Set
Perfect Dodges Are The Way To Go
Due to the lack of regular Parry ability in Black Myth: Wukong, players mainly have to rely on dodging incoming attacks. Depending on the timing, players can either go for a regular dodge or a perfect dodge. While regular dodges will allow players to avoid incoming attacks, perfect dodges are more useful.
Putting on any two pieces of the Galeguard Set will grant additional Focus every time players pull off a perfect dodge. If they use all four parts, perfect dodges will reduce the cooldown of all spells. This is a pretty strong ability when combined withPeace from Periland other dodge related skills. Not only will players be able to deal extra damage, but their spells will be available to use quickly.
4Bronze Set
Perfect For Repeated Immobilize Use
The Bronze Set consists of theBronze Monkey Mask,Bronze Brocade Battlerobe,Bronze Armguard, andBronze Buskins. This armor set is best suited for players who rely on the Immobilize spell a lot in combat.
The two-piece set bonus allows players to deal extra damage whenever they break the immobilization on an enemy. The four-piece bonus massively lowers the cooldown of Immobilize if players manage to crash it. This armor is made for players who mostly use Immobilize in battle. To make things even more interesting, players can unlock skills likeStagnationandEvanescenceto make Immobilize even better.
3Centipede Set
Inflict Enemies With Poison Bane
The Centipede Set needs a very specific build to function properly. It performs best when the Destined One is poisoned, which is not an ideal situation to be in. But the set takes care of the problem. Equipping two pieces from this set massively reduces the continuous poison damage that players take.
When players equip all four pieces, their attack will be significantly increased in Poisoned State. While the set certainly looks appealing, the main problem is getting poisoned, but that can easily be solved by equipping theDeathstinger (Consumable), a Soak to self-inflict poison. This will help them meet the conditions and use the Centipede armor set to the fullest.
2Monkey King Set
Best Armor For Spell Cooldown Reduction
The Monkey King Set is essentially anothername for Sun Wukong’s armor set. This particular set consists of theGolden Feng-Tail Crown,Gold Suozi Armor,Dian-Cui Loong-Soaring Bracers, andLotus Silk Cloudtreaders. The set has two bonuses, which will trigger when players have either three or five pieces equipped.
The three-piece bonus increases the Critical Hit Chance for a short while after using a Spell. The five-piece bonus reduces the cooldown of all spells slightly whenever players land a Critical Hit. Players will obtain this armor set in Chapter 6 ofBlack Myth: Wukong.
1Bull King’s Armor Set
Grants High Defense And Tenacity
TheBull King’s Armor setis not just the best armor set in the game, but the best rounded set as well. It comprisesBull King’s Mask,Bull King’s Bracers,Bull King’s Shan Wen Armor, andBull King’s Greaves. It has two unique abilities: one can be activated with just two pieces of armor. Most players will only have a maximum of three armor pieces in their initial run, so they will have the two-piece bonus active, which increases defense moderately whenever the Destined One takes damage.
When all four pieces of the armor are equipped, it grants Tenacity, making the Destined One nearly immune to stagger when his HP is below 50%. The main resource for the Bull King’s Armor set is the Bull King’s Horn. This particular item can only be found in the Bishui Cave.
