Black Myth Wukong follows the tradition of replayability of action games by having multiple varieties of primary weapons and encourages players to go through New Game Plus to try out a newly acquired late-game weapon. Black Myth Wukong goes a step further by adding bonuses and moves to make the Staff feel and use much better. The sense of progression with discovering more powerful weapons makes all exploration and the tough boss fights worth it. Here are the best weapons in Black Myth Wukong, ranked.
Since there are a lot of weapons in the game, we have decided to include the best staff in the game. Each one of them packs in the attack rating and the bonus perk to help it stand out amongst the rest.

Another staff that you get early in the game, might not look much when you look at the stats but once upgraded, this staff will pack in some serious punch.

7. Chitin Staff

A perfect powerful entry for anyone who is having difficulty managing their health during the boss fight. Every time you use a focus point while a charged heavy attack with Chitin Staff you will recover bonus health. The 8% critical chance also raises the damage potential of this weapon.

| Damage | 85 |
| Critical Hit Chance | 12% |
While the staff does have a good amount of attack power 85, the main selling point of the staff doesn’t come from the critical hit chance or attack power but from the bonus. When you use the weapon, you will recover some health after using a charged heavy attack. Since bosses in the mid-game hit like a truck, you will appreciate any help you get in the battles.
Spider Celestial Staff has another unique benefit: If the enemy successfully inflicts poison on the player, then performing a charge-heavy attack will deal poison damage back to the enemy. When you add the 12% critical chance to the overall bonus or perks, the weapon will deal a dangerous amount of damage to the enemies.
5. The Staff Of Blazing Karma

The staff here comes with a good amount of defense and burn resistance. Once you pick up Staff of Blazing Karma from the shelf, you will be able to spawn lava on the ground and burn down the enemies. the burn stats deal damage to the enemies over time.

| Crafting Materials | None |
| Damage | 135 |
| Critical Hit Chance | 6% |
A massive 135 attack power Mythical weapon carrying the bonus critical hit change of 6%, is something you need to have in the game. If you already have a thing for a spear, then you will get used to the attack pattern of the Tri-Point Double-Edged Spear, the weapon also shoots swords after a successful Forceful Thrust. The weapon thrives on Thrust-type ability moves, the hardest aspect of acquiring the weapon is the amount of quests you will have to do to obtain it.
3. Visionary Centipede Staff

| Crafting Materials | Golden Glowing Eye x1, Gold Tree Core x4, Refined Iron Sand x8, Will x 30000 |
| Damage | 90 |
| Critical Hit Chance | 10% |
To put it simply, it is a better version of Spider Celestial Staff, where the Spider Celestial Staff deals a decent amount of poison damage back to the enemy, the Visionary Centipede Staff on each successful charged heavy attack, recovers Health. This increases if the enemy is inflicted with the Poison Bane.
Unlike the Spider Staff, Visionary will deal a slightly lower critical chance boost, from 12% to 10%. If you are ready to sacrifice a measly 2% critical chance, then time to end the friendship with SpiderCelestial Staff and start a new one with Visionary Centipede Staff.
