Huangxing, the Kunlun Renegade

A ball-and-chain wielder fought in a pillared temple hall. On Hellwalker difficulty his AI reacts to spacing and punishes whiffs rather than following fixed patterns. The Ink Cut weapon deals bonus damage and stun against him, and Wan Jun "Coppermaul" cries out "Master Huangxing! You lied to me!" as he dies. Shown in 2024 as "the Sunken Pillar of Kunlun"; the 2026 name bar reads "the Kunlun Renegade".
