The best skills to get first in Black Myth: Wukong
As an action RPG with some Soulslike elements, Black Myth: Wukong has a deep and expanding skill tree to explore. Unlike a lot of other skill trees, this one only has a few stat-buffing skills while the rest add or modify your existing moves. This makes each skill feel more impactful, but also puts a lot more pressure on you to make good choices early on to know what will or will not help you beat the early bosses.

You can invest two levels into this skill that each increase the amount of damage you deal to an enemy you have frozen with Immobilize.

Normally when you dodge while in the middle of a combo, you will start over once you start attacking again after the dodge.
