Reap and Rush Zhong Kui
Zhong Kui (钟馗) is the missing manager. English Steam says he vanished. Chinese store copy says he was kidnapped. Either way he is not a day-one envoy you pick in the same row as White Crow. Patches still talk about him as a transform and as a fight.
What official notes actually did
- 6 August added a special presentation when Zhong Kui transforms, alongside Divine Dragon wishes, Fairy Spirit encounters, and chest-open fanfare. Do not confuse the cinematic with a new shop currency.
- Earlier combat notes mention Zhong Kui transform display bugs. If a model or UI lies, update before recording a “broken kit.”
- 1.0.2 called out automatic Fate Stones failing during the Celestial Loong fight—the same mythic desk as Ancestral Dragon / Primordial Emperor.
- Soundtrack titles include Zhong Kui and Xu Fu. That is audio labeling, not a moveset wiki.
Community overlay names for rescuing him or beating him without dealing damage are listed, with caveats, on endings. Execution of the dragon fight is on how to beat.
Story context: story & lore.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I start a run as Zhong Kui?+
Not as a listed starter in public 1.0 notes. Transform and boss presentations are what patches named.
Kidnapped or missing?+
Chinese store vs English store. Play the cutscenes; do not pick a translation fight.
Is the transform a power spike?+
Treat it as a named presentation until a patch publishes numbers. We will not invent a multiplier.
