Overview

• Starting August 14, a limited Hero Trial running through August 18 gives players early access to Wuyang’s water-control abilities on live servers.
• His toolkit includes controllable water orbs from the Xuanwu Staff, a passive healing Restorative Stream, a knockback-healing Guardian Wave, Rushing Torrent mobility and the Tidal Blast ultimate.
• Four configurable Perks—Overflow, Balance, Ebb and Flow and Falling Rain—modify his ammo reserves, healing output and orb behavior to suit different playstyles.
• Blizzard devs confirmed that his water-bending stems from technology in his staff and gauntlet rather than magic, highlighting his mastery through training.
• Dev commentary highlights strong synergies with Ana and Lúcio for healing boosts, and identifies crowd control and anti-heal abilities as his primary counters.
