Quotes [ edit ]

“Walking slowly in silence, aloof, sad and melancholy. Encountered a person holding an umbrella. But it was not you. Just like waking up from a dream there is only the lane and me in the rain.” —Wu Chang

Background [ edit ]

Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu (the White and Black Guards) had always been like brothers. As they traveled to Nantai Bridge for a date one day, they noticed it was going to rain. Xie Bi'an told Fan Wujiu to wait under the bridge while he returned home to get an umbrella. After Xie Bi'an left, the rain began to pour and the river rose, but Fan Wujiu, reluctant to break his promise, stayed under the bridge. Shortly after, Xie Bi'an returned with the umbrella only to find that the bridge was now submerged and Fan Wujiu was nowhere to be seen...[1] He had drowned.

Xie Bi'an was so grieved that he had no choice but to live without Fan Wujiu. No matter whether it was rain or shine, he carried the black umbrella during the day and wore white mourning clothes. He eventually committed suicide by hanging himself under the Nantai Bridge and left the black umbrella where Fan Wujiu had stayed.

The umbrella was found by a merchant and placed as a hallway centerpiece in his home. Since then, his family has had strange things happen to them. The black umbrella in the room was often unsupervised. In the middle of the night, the sounds of men sighing fill the hall. Everyone said that White Guard's soul was in the umbrella. Merchants invited a Taoist to get rid of the umbrella to lift the spell on the town. Since then, the house has been calm and quiet. Soon after, the merchants went out, but on the way, they found that the country was in chaos, and that the umbrella was missing.

External Traits [ edit ]

Icon Name Description Dual Soul The White and Black Guards had their souls imbued into an umbrella and their souls can be switched by using Summon. The White Guard excels at patrol and pursuit and moves swiftly but has slow stun recovery and attack speed; the Black Guard excels at melee combat and has fast stun recovery and attack speed, but moves slowly.

Abilities [ edit ]

Wu Chang sacrifices proficiency in either melee or movement to increase the proficiency in one of the two. Their three unique Abilities are:

Icon Name Description Infinite Nirvana Throws the Umbrella at the target location, where it will stay for 5 seconds. Outlines of Survivors in the area covered by the Umbrella will be shown, with their movement speed and vaulting speed slightly decreased, and other interaction speeds significantly decreased. Outlines of these Survivors will still be shown for 5 seconds after they move outside the area. For the duration where the Umbrella is active, Wu Chang can choose to teleport to where the Umbrella is and switch to Dual Soul mode, or retrieve the Umbrella to recover skill countdown. Without the Umbrella, Wu Chang's movement speed and window vaulting speed is increased. The Umbrella will return to Wu Chang when the 5 seconds are up. Summon Use the skill to switch into Dual Soul mode, or hold down the skill button to charge up and toss the soul umbrella forward and then switch to Dual Soul mode and teleport to where the umbrella lands. The longer you charge the skill the further you can toss the umbrella. Siphon Soul & Wavering Soul The White Guard's body moves with ease, and when it fully enters the spiritual realm it won't be able to interact with anything for 5 seconds. However, its movement speed is greatly increased and it will siphon the souls of nearby Survivors. If it manages to fully siphon a Survivor's soul, their soul will be lost. Lost Soul Bedazzled and unable to interact with the environment. When the Black Guard rings the bell and casts Wavering Soul, all Survivors that hear the ringing have to steel their resolve and calibrate with precision. Should they fail the calibration, the will become horrified for 60 seconds; if they fail another calibration during that time, their soul will waver. Spiritless Movement directions will be reversed. Summon - Enhanced Reduces the time it takes to switch souls in Dual Soul mode and you will immediately perform a powerful Siphon Soul or Wavering Soul upon switching.

Tips [ edit ]

As Wu Chang [ edit ]

From the start of the match, immediately cast the umbrella to a generator (Knowing spawn places would be extremely helpful.) If there is a survivor, summon. Otherwise, going around with that bonus movement speed for some seconds. White Guard has large hit box using charged attack, while Black Guard is known for fast pallet breaking speed, fast recovery speed. Find out which one suits you the most in each moment. When affected by both skills, survivors will start to have cards glowing around, sharply decreased movement speed, moving in both directions. Trick, when you are face camping, switch to Black. If a survivor is coming to rescue, switch to White to activate Lost Soul to nearby survivor, make them unable to rescue. However this only works while full presence is achieved.

Recommended Talent:

Teleport: Summon is Teleport, I know. But Teleport is more powerful in late-game, when you need to patrol multiple cipher machine at once.

Blink: If you suck at chase, use Blink. Blink always helps.

Peeper: Peeper reduces movement and interaction speed. Helpful for White Guard.

Against Wu Chang

Wu Chang players often choose White when pursuing, use that as a advantage. White hit box is long, sharp but has a narrow range, so if Wu Chang is charging, juke him. Understand the weakness of each guard. Black Guard hit box is short, but has fast recovery speed and fast pallet breaking speed, meaning he is better at looping around pallet. His Soul Wavering also stun survivor for 0,5 seconds, meaning he can cut loop pretty easy. Meanwhile, he can't really cut distance that fast, and often has to summon to get near to the survivors.

Meanwhile, White skill, Lost Soul makes him has fast movement speed for some seconds, and his incredible hit box makes him better at shortening distance. But his slow attacking speed make survivors can get to a pallet or different direction to avoid getting hit.
