Overview

• Wuyang’s trial period runs from August 14 to 18, giving players early access to his full suite of abilities ahead of the season launch.
• His kit includes the Xuanwu Staff for damage orbs, Restorative Stream for passive healing, Guardian Wave for knockback and healing buff, Rushing Torrent for enhanced mobility and jump height, and the Tidal Blast ultimate.
• Blizzard developers stress that his water manipulation comes from advanced staff and gauntlet technology rather than magic, requiring player skill and resource management.
• Narrative designer Joshi Zhang ties Wuyang to Wuxing University’s water college and a family-expectation arc, reflecting deliberate Chinese cultural themes.
• Senior producer Kenny Hudson recommends pairing him with Ana and Lúcio for healing synergy and notes that crowd control abilities remain his principal counter.
