Best transformation spell in Black Myth: Wukong

Once you start collecting all the different forms in Black Myth: Wukong, which of them is the best transformation spell? It’ll be a while into your first playthrough that you’ll get some strong ones, but here’s what to know when you finally get there.

What is the best transformation spell in Black Myth: Wukong?

The best transformation spell in Black Myth: Wukong is the Umbral Abyss. This is the Macaque Chief transformation you receive after completing Chapter 3 of the game.

The reason why this is the best is simply because of its incredible damage output. If you transform into this with maxed-out focus, you can hit your opponent with the initial slash and instantly use its Cold Heart spell.

The foe becomes susceptible to cold damage upon casting the ability, and every subsequent attack after it will deal big damage. Applying enough pressure, especially on a boss, can remove a third of its health with proper execution.

Some enemies can outright negate its damage, but for the most part, this is a huge boss killer.

Other strong transformation spells in Black Myth: Wukong

Very close alternatives to what we consider to be the best transformation are the Ebon Flow, Ashen Slumber, or the Azure Dome. 

Ebon Flow

Ebon Flow is strong in particular because it can block incoming damage and release it as a heavier, charged attack with multiple levels of power. It also has a strong dodge to close the gap between you and an enemy.

Ashen Slumber

Ashen Slumber is also another strong pick because of the high pressure and damage he can deal. Just swing away with the light attack until you build up the fire meter. Once full, use your heavy attack to breathe fire and inflict Scorch Bane. Also, when your meter is about to run out, just use the Fiery Burst spell to blow up and deal massive AoE damage.

Azure Dome

Finally, with Azure Dome: it’s an enhanced version of the Destined One. You can still use some of your spells in this form while having access to new moves and banes to inflict. It’s quite good, but you won’t really be using this until your New Game Plus run.
