Kwang is a durable fighter that excels at initiating fights. A master swordsman, Kwang can utilize his Legendary Blade to change how and where he uses his abilities. When playing Kwang, utilize your legendary blade to approach engagements on your own terms. Use "Judgement of the Heavens" to isolate and lock targets in place, this is especially useful when combo'd with allied AoE abilties and ultimates. If you need to get back into the fight use "Fury of the Heavens" to teleport back to your sword and catch enemies off guard.

  • The only thing that can break Kwang's concentration is pop music.
  • Not to be outdone by his sister, Kwang demonstrates that he too has some moves.

Extra Lore

  • “Greystone and Kwang had a showdown over the Legendary Sword, though Kwang was able to retrieve it.”
  • “Kwang and Shinbi are siblings. After seeing Kwang depart on his quest for the Legendary Sword, Shinbi was inspired to go on her own quest and left for Omeda.”
