How do you increase your stats in Black Myth Wukong? Leveling up your character is a cornerstone of action RPGs. Whether you're after more health, stamina, or defense, watching that number creep up over your playthrough proves you're stronger than you were at the beginning of your journey. That said, Game Science's boss rush adaptation of Journey to the West has a more fluid leveling system than most, and you might be after a more permanent solution.
Many action-adventure games let you trade experience points for stat increases, but Black Myth Wukong takes a slightly different approach. While you still level up over time, the points you accrue are typically used to unlock and enhance Black Myth Wukong abilities rather than bolster your base stats. Black Myth Wukong armor, curios, and even spirits can all provide passive stat bonuses, but this comes at the cost of the slot you use to equip them. However, it's still possible to permanently increase your stats in Black Myth Wukong - you just need to help out a cowardly deity and acquire a few rare materials first.
