Black Myth Wukong: What is Evanescence and How to Use it

Discover Evanescence in Black Myth: Wukong, a powerful Immobilize upgrade. Find out how to use this skill effectively with this guide.

Black Myth: Wukong is packed with skills and abilities and one of them is Evanescence. This powerful upgrade to the Immobilize skill can be a game-changer if you know how to use it right.

Let’s dive into what Evanescence is and how you can use it in Black Myth: Wukong.

What is Evanescence in Black Myth: Wukong?

Evanescence is an upgrade for the Immobilize skill. You’ll find it in the Mysticism tree under Self-Advance in the Shrine menu. It’s the second skill on the left side of the Immobilize tree. To unlock it you’ll need to put one point into Crash first.

This skill is all about timing. Think of it as Black Myth: Wukong’s version of a parry. When you use Immobilize at the exact moment an enemy is about to hit you Evanescence kicks in. It’s tricky to pull off but the rewards are worth it.

How Evanescence works:

• It extends the duration of Immobilize
• Increases damage dealt to the target
• Triggers a unique backflip animation
• Slightly slows down time

You’ll know you’ve nailed it when you see a silver glow instead of the usual gold one. It’s a visual treat and a sign you’re about to deal some serious damage.

How to Use Evanescence in Black Myth: Wukong

Timing is everything with Evanescence. You want to cast Immobilize at the very last second before an enemy attack lands. It’s risky business. If you’re too early you’ll just use regular Immobilize. Too late and you’ll take a hit.

Tips for mastering Evanescence:

• Practice on larger bosses with slow attacks
• Look for exaggerated wind-ups to help time your cast
• Don’t be afraid to dodge first then try for Evanescence
• Remember: being early is better than being late

It’s easier to pull off against big enemies with obvious attack patterns. Their slow swings give you more time to react. Plus those giant weapons make it easier to judge when the hit is coming.

Is Evanescence worth it?

Absolutely. While it takes some getting used to Evanescence is a fantastic skill. Even if you miss the perfect timing you’ll still cast Immobilize which is powerful on its own. It’s like getting a free upgrade to an already great ability.

The damage boost and extended duration can turn the tide in tough fights. Once you get the hang of it you’ll be taking down bosses left and right. It’s especially useful against those big baddies with predictable attacks.

The Bronze Armguard you get in Chapter 1 mentions that a light attack after Evanescence triggers the “Finisher of Light Attack Combo.” That’s a hint at just how devastating this skill can be when used right.

Evanescence is a high-risk high-reward skill in Black Myth: Wukong. With practice and patience you’ll be pulling off perfect Evanescence moves in no time. So go on give it a try and watch those enemies crumble before your newfound power.
