Overview
Hua is one of the first characters the player encounters in Iia. He is a young Animaster with a single-minded goal: qualify through the regional championships and earn a spot at The Amphitheater, the top competitive venue for Nexus Battles. He has spiky blue hair, wears headphones, and dresses in casual streetwear.
Note: This is a different character from Hua in Honkai Impact 3rd. Despite sharing a name, HNA's Hua is an original character with no apparent connection to the HI3 version.
Personality
Hua is fiery and enthusiastic about Nexus Battles. He approaches training and competition with a bluntness that borders on reckless. He wants to fight strong opponents and isn't especially interested in strategy or caution. His energy makes him a natural early-game companion for the player, someone who drags you into situations before you're quite ready for them.
Role in the story
As a fellow aspiring Animaster, Hua is a peer and rival of sorts for the player character. His goal of reaching The Amphitheater gives the early game a clear target to work toward, and his eagerness to train and battle creates natural opportunities for the player to learn the Auto-Chess Combat mechanics through friendly competition.
