11 Wu Yang is a boss of Swords of Legends encountered at the Changsheng Ju, a mountain inn where he works as a waiter. He wears a teapot over his head in the manner of a helmet, which earned him the affectionate nickname Brother Pot among players who saw him before his name was published.

33 He was the second of the four bosses playable at the July 2026 hands-on, and the studio's project lead discussed him by name at the media session held the day before the public days, which settled a name that had circulated informally for months.

78 Wu Yang fights with a second teapot, this one fitted with an extravagantly long spout, and the design turns a piece of tea-house theatre into a complete weapon. Players who fought him described it as genuinely versatile in the hand rather than a novelty.

1011 A Master's Bearing
1112  
1213 The team has been unusually explicit about the intent behind his moveset. He is designed to fight with the discipline of a trained martial artist: he does not reach for the heavy attack, he does not chain his most powerful moves, and he never opens with a cheap shot. Every strike follows a restraint of its own.
1314  
1415 That restraint is a storytelling device rather than a difficulty setting. The stated goal was to give a teahouse waiter the bearing of a master so that the player is left asking why a person of that calibre is serving tea at a roadside inn, a question the studio intends the story to answer. It is the same approach that governs the rest of the roster: the fight is meant to characterise the opponent before any dialogue does.

1617 The Grab and an Idea That Was Cut
1718  
1819 His throw is the most-quoted moment of the encounter. He catches the hero's head and pours tea into the mouth, played entirely for performance. During development the team considered making that throw restore the player's health rather than drain it, as a joke about hospitality, but decided the gesture read as too mocking and left it out of the build.

2021 The Name
2122  
2223 Wu Yang is an old place name from the Ba-Shu region of what is now Sichuan. Its literary weight comes from a Western Han text containing the line about brewing tea, cleaning the vessels and buying tea at Wuyang, which is the earliest written record of tea anywhere in Chinese history. Attaching that name to a tea-house servant who fights with a teapot ties the character to the origin of the drink itself.

2425 Where He Appears
2526  
2627 Wu Yang is fought at the Changsheng Ju after the hero sits down for tea. The inn is a real location in the finished game rather than a demo-only arena: the studio has confirmed that its area connects to the stage where Kong Kong Zi is fought, and that the path between the two was sealed only for the hands-on build. Official store screenshots published in August 2026 show him seated in a room of long tables and benches, the brass pot still over his head with lid and spout in place.

2829 The full roster of encounters seen so far is collected under Bosses, the event where he was first playable is covered under 2026 Offline Playtest, and the inn sits in the wider geography described in World and Setting.
