What are Staff Stance Skills?

Skills to Improve Your Staff Stances

Black Myth Wukong Staff Stance

In Black Myth Wukong, there are three different combat styles that you can switch on the fly and each offer their own unique take in combat. Unlocking skills within the skill tree of a Staff Stance will improve that stance by giving you more attack moves that you can execute if you're using that stance in combat.

It is preferred if you just pick a stance that you prefer and invest your Spark Points into the skills within that stance instead of spreading the points throughout the three stances.
