What is on record
A dual-sword duelist fought on a wooden bridge above a field of red flowers in IGN's footage of the near-final build; he leaps high and dives with both blades. Seen only in press footage so far.
What is known
Hua Qianxiao, the Sword Fanatic has not appeared in any official trailer or demo. His name bar is on screen in IGN's video preview of the near-final build, recorded at S-GAME's October 2026 media event, at 0:44 to 0:58 and again at 10:00 to 10:12. Because the footage is a press capture rather than an official release, the entry is labelled Reported and uses a placeholder image.
What the footage shows
The fight is on a long wooden bridge or boardwalk with railings, above a field of red flowers, under an overcast sky. Hua Qianxiao fights with a sword in each hand, closes fast, and repeatedly launches into the air to dive on Soul with both blades (0:50, 10:05); at 10:06 an attack throws up a spray of red. Soul answers with wide blue sweeps (0:52, 10:00). The retail equipment menu in the same video lists a weapon called The Fanatic's Broken Blade; the two share an epithet, but the footage does not show whether he drops it.
Not on record
Not on record from any source we can cite: his region, role, phases, attacks and drop. The card image is a frame from official footage of another scene, not of him; he has no official image yet.
Director Liang Qiwei told 4Gamer on October 6, 2026 that every weapon is obtained by beating a boss, which makes the name match with The Fanatic's Broken Blade worth watching; the footage does not show a drop, so none is listed.
Official footage shows a single phase. If the retail fight has a second phase, it is added here with its on-screen name bar; tells, punish windows and health thresholds are recorded only from the retail game.
