One of the more stressful aspects of combat in Black Myth: Wukong is having to manage your health in longer boss fights so The Destined One can stay alive longer than his adversaries. This is why having abilities and passives that automatically heal you can be the difference between a successful run or fail

This attack is super fast once it is in motion, so you need to time it based on the animation that comes before it. He will raise his hands up above his head. Once his palms are showing, and his hands are above his noggin, get ready to dodge.
