==Summary==
<tabber>
|-|Main Plane= Xiang Tzu is Master Galen's former best student with a deep hatred towards Legionaries. Throughout the story he constantly changes his ways to find the perfect method to become Descendant's superior. After quitting his teacher's school and later Kibo's, he found himself in the heart of the Legion as a prisoner of war. It was here where he found his calling as the Dynasty people's champion and liberator, and became a formidable fighter that posed a serious threat to Descendant.
|-|June's Plane= Xiang Tzu is General Marcus' loyal ally who carries out secret operations for the Resistance in the Dynasty captial under the facade of his Mixed Arts School and personal title of the "Mad Master". In spite of concerning himself mostly with bringing the Resistance's plans to fruition, as the head of his school he still cares about the good of his students. Just like his "Main Plane" self, he is critical about the Dynasty's corrupt government, and thus is a supporter of Deng Rao - one of the Resistance's leaders. Ironically, karma catches up with him, as at some point a lot of his students leave his school to join another one, which is a feat his "Main Plane" self performed on Galen's school, when he convinced all the students to quit his teacher's school and join Kibo's.
|-|Marcus' Plane= Xiang Tzu is one of Ironclad's pupils who lost his parents at the hands of the Shadow Legion's Crimson Army. Originally from the Steppe lands, Xiang Tzu was supposedly taken by Ironclad under his wing sometime after the murder of his parents, and was given a new home and family amongst the people of the Woodland. He grew a strong emotional connection with Ironclad, and thus started to refer to him as "Pops". His hatred towards the Legion and corrupt officials in power comes in full symmetry with that of his "Main Plane" self.

Intelligence: Above Average, up to Gifted (Although his Main Plane self is regarded as an ignorant, over-confident idiot, Xiang Tzu in all Planes proved his fighting talent in front of many opponents, only being defeated by Descendant every time he fights him. In the Main Plane he was considered by Galen as being his best student, having won the title of school champion. After he quit Galen's school, Xiang Tzu moved to Kibo's, where he attempted to study the very difficult fighting style of the Heralds in just a few days before the start of the Hundred Schools Tournament, just so he could gain an edge over Descendant. Even when equipped with novice skill in using Heralds weaponry, he was still able to reach the finals of the Tournament using his newfound style, and managed to learn a few difficult tricks in the form of Perks that even some fully fledged Heralds do not know how to use. Just out of jealousy he began to study all the styles in the world to find one Descendant couldn't win against, and given enough time he was able to develop his own, personal style called "Triple Style Fighter" that consists of the best moves with a Legion One-Handed Sword, a Dynasty Staff and a pair of Heralds Sai. As a war prisoner, Xiang Tzu became a five-time winner of the Legion prison fights and absolute Champion of the North. It was here, in the brutal and cold prison of the Fortress, where he has also learned fighting tricks that even some Legionary veterans don't know, and has handicapped himself by ditching the usage of any Shadow Energy in combat, giving up an important combat advantage just to prove that he does not need gimmick magic - just raw physical strength and skill - to defeat his foes. In June's Plane, Xiang Tzu heavily resembles his Champion of the North self in terms of fighting skill, only that here he is a teacher whose school instructs students in how to use his Mixed Arts fighting style. In Marcus' Plane, Xiang Tzu heavily resembles his Galen's Champion self, being instead trained by Ironclad amongst the woodland revolters, and is able to outsmart even great tacticians such as the General in combat)
Weaknesses: Losing his link with his weapon strips him of the ability to use his weapon's Shadow Ability and Perks. Xiang Tzu cannot accumulate Shadow Energy in worlds in which Shadow Energy does not exist. Like most people of his world, Xiang Tzu is not aware of his power to change the fate of the world via the Historical Importance Index mechanism, and thus he doesn't make full use of it by, for example, the possibility of giving up on a specific objective/wish way too easily and early after a few failures. Kibo's Champion Xiang Tzu is prone to hurting himself with his Glaive due to having rushed his practice with this weapon. Champion of the North, Mad Master and Revolter Xiang Tzu cannot activate their Rage Stroke if the enemy uses short, concentrated bursts of attack on him, instead of a flurry of hits; and during their Rage Stroke they all become insane, and thus their intelligence is also reduced. Mad Master Xiang Tzu is at a constant loss of health throughout combat due to his Juggernaut Perk.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
===Perks===
* Head Hit: Landing a strike on the enemy's head triggers a Head Hit, making it deal 60% more damage.
* Critical Hit: Any unblocked hit has a chance to be a Critical Hit, which deals 50% more damage and makes the enemy fall to the ground.
* Shock: Dealing a Head Hit to the enemy has a small chance to result in a Shock, which will disarm the enemy and make them fall to the ground, forcing them to fight barehanded afterwards for the rest of the round.
* Block: Xiang Tzu can enter defensive stances to block incoming attacks from the enemy, greatly reducing their damage dealt.
* Shadow Energy: Xiang Tzu has learned to make use of the Shadow Energy present in the world, harnessing it as a weapon to his advantage in battle. With its help, he can become faster, with more stamina and more spectacular moves in defiance of the very laws of physics.
* Shadow Form: Durring battle, Xiang Tzu accumulates Shadow Energy inside of himself. When this Shadow Energy reaches its maximum, Xiang Tzu can enter Shadow Form. In this mode, all visuals within Xiang Tzu's vision change dramatically. Xiang Tzu becomes a shadow and can perform special shadow moves for 10 seconds.
* Critical Charge: Xiang Tzu's Glaive has a unique mechanic in making Critical Hits called Critical Charge. Different from the other factions' Weapons, Heralds' Weapons charge their Critical power for up to 7 - 15 seconds. Once fully charged, the Weapon will glow in red hot energy. Any attacks delivered (Weapon attacks or kicks) while in full charge will be a guaranteed Critical Hit, dealing much higher damage than even normal Critical Hits. The Critical Charge strike ignores blocks, although the block-bypassing hit does not result in a Critical Hit. The charge disappears if Xiang Tzu does not deal any successful attack in 5 seconds. As long as Xiang Tzu wields his Glaive, he cannot make regular Critical Hits by chance.
* Prepared Strike: First hit to his enemy during the first 4 seconds of the round deals 100% more damage.
* Discharge: A 20% chance to cause his enemy to lose Shadow Energy equal to 230% of his attack damage.
* Interference: A 26% chance to forbid the enemy to use block for 7 seconds with a hit.
* Time Bomb: A 20% chance to cause his enemy to lose health equal to 140% of his attack damage after 3 seconds.
* Bleeding: A 15% chance to cause his enemy to lose health equal to 130% of his attack damage over 3 seconds.
* Breacher: A 50% chance to deal full damage through enemy block.
* Lifesteal: A 25% chance to gain 100% of his attack damage as health.
* Basher: A 26% chance to stun his enemy for 3 seconds with a hit.
* Berserk: A 30% chance to deal +100% damage with a hit, losing 20% of additional damage from his health.
* Shadow Burn: A 14% chance to cause his enemy to lose health and Shadow Energy equal to 100% of his attack damage.
* Juggernaut: Xiang Tzu inflicts more damage, but loses health over time.
* Hydra: Xiang Tzu regenerates health.
* Open Wound: The enemy's health drops over time.

* Dash: Xiang Tzu amplifies his own speed before dashing through the enemy, dealing damage.

* Burst: Xiang Tzu ducks down and throws a shadow bomb to the ground, causing a damaging explosion in front of himself while he teleports away from the enemy.
* Repel: Xiang Tzu raises one hand towards the enemy and shoots out a shadow forcewave that pushes the enemy a few steps away from him.
* Bolt: Xiang Tzu charges his Ragged Fin (Harpoon) with Shadow Energy and fires it at the enemy. Upon being hit, the enemy is instantly struck by a shadow lightning bolt from the sky.
===Special Ability===

*Rage Stroke: Xiang Tzu refuses to use Shadow Energy. Instead, he has a rage bar, which fills up everytime he takes damage. The rage bar can be fully filled only with a combo of 4 hits, regardless of the damage. The rage meter can whittle down if he does not take any damage. Once the rage bar is fully charged, Xiang Tzu can enter Rage Stroke, catching on fire while increasing his attack power and defense significantly. While in Rage Stroke, Xiang Tzu will not lose his balance when attacked, cannot be knocked off his feet and will start to use his most deadly attacks more often. The Rage Stroke lasts for 10 seconds. The more he loses, the faster his rage meter fills. After losing one round, Xiang Tzu will beat his own head with his Staff to instantly enter the state when his rage bar is filled by 75%. After losing two rounds, Xiang Tzu will pierce his own leg with his Sai to instantly enter the state when his rage bar reaches 50%. Everytime Xiang Tzu hits himself, he will take damage. Both Champion of the North and Mad Master Xiang Tzu use this ability, while his Revolter self uses it too, only that he cannot gain rage from hitting himself due to not being equipped with a Staff and Sai.
===Special Moves===

* Triple Lunge: A sequence of 3 attacks with the Glaive. Xiang Tzu actually uses a modified version of Triple Lunge, where he performs a combo of four attacks in a fast sequence. He will then trip and fall to the ground along with the enemy after the fourth move, sending his Glaive flying in the air. The Glaive will ultimately fall and hit Xiang Tzu in the face. The enemy might also receive a fifth attack if the Glaive also hits them in the process. The fourth attack always applies Interference on the enemy.
*Triple Style Fighter: Performs a sequence of 4 attacks with the One-Handed Sword, Staff, and Sai. Xiang Tzu will execute this deadly combo more often while in Rage Mode.
=== Historical Importance Index Mechanism ===
Historical Importance Index is a mechanism in the Shadow Fight world which allows all people to change the course of world history processes with their wishes, thus being able to change the face of the world based on their personality. Because everybody has access to this power, more often than not their wishes will intercept and clash with each other over which one gets to become reality. The winner whose wish will triumph over the one of his adversary is the one who is simply more important to the world than the other. This is why people who are very important will change the fate of the world with their wishes so suddenly they won't even know how they succeeded so easily, because they don't even have to try much, while those who are less important than the previously mentioned won't be able to change the world with their wishes even if they try harder than the more important people to make them reality, their wishes getting completely overwritten by those of the more important individuals. One's historical importance index is as high as how many other lives they impacted, and how dramatically. The higher the index of historical importance of a person is, the more "luck" they get in all their plans, the more of their wishes will come true.
