Revision 1

Yuan Tao is one of the confirmed fighters in The Hidden Ones. He is the only announced fighter tied to the Quanxing sect, the same group the game's headline enemy storyline is drawn from, and the developer introduced him through its own per-fighter gameplay guide series published ahead of the first pre-alpha test.

Overview

The developer describes Yuan Tao as an elder of the Quanxing sect and an alchemist who possesses a prized magical artifact called Nine Dragons Son. His guide bills him as known for bizarre and versatile moves, which frames him as a trick-heavy fighter rather than a straightforward striker.

The Quanxing Connection

The Quanxing sect, also rendered in English as the All-Souls clan, is the group the Four Fulfilled Crazies belong to, and their assault is the storyline documented on The Fulfilled. Yuan Tao being an elder of that sect is the developer's own wording, but no official material has placed him among the Four Fulfilled Crazies themselves or explained how a Quanxing elder sits alongside the playable cast in the campaign. Treat the sect affiliation as confirmed and the narrative implications as open.

Combat Style

Alchemy and an artifact-driven kit are unusual on a roster otherwise introduced through inherited techniques and thunder-based powers. Whatever shape those moves take, they resolve through the same Combat System every fighter uses, with the stamina rules described on Stamina and Defense.

What Has Not Been Confirmed

The developer notes that character and skill names shown in these guides are subject to the official in-game versions, so wording may change before launch. No numeric stats, frame data, or full movelists have been published for any fighter.

What Nine Dragons Son actually does in a fight has not been detailed, and his campaign role has not been described.
