There's no penalty for respeccing your skills in Black Myth: Wukong, so you should experiment with different builds and stances to see what best fits your gameplay style.
As you wander around the game's open, explorable areas, you'll see plenty of flowers and herbs scattered about. Pick all of these up! Even though you may not have a use for them in the first couple of hours, you'll eventually be able to make helpful medicines to aid you in battle.
Unlike traditional soulslike games, dying in Black Myth: Wukong doesn't have any significant consequences besides sending you back to the closest shrine with all enemies respawned.
