Characteristics: what increases with elevation

Heizo's main stat is Anemo damage bonus. In addition to him, with the exaltation of the character, HP indicators increase, attack power и of protection. The exact data can be found in the table.

Abilities

Despite being a Catalyst wielder, Heizo's fighting style is more of a melee combat style where he attacks enemies with strikes filled with Anemo damage. Therefore, the character's gameplay is unique in its own way. Explosion of the elements allows you to collect enemies in a bunch, and elemental skill aimed at dealing damage and gaining stacks.

Let's consider all Heizo's skills in more detail and tell you in what order it is better to pump them.

Basic skills (active skills)

• Fudo fighting style (normal, charged and falling attack)

Normal Attack: Makes up to 5 hits, empowered by the wind.

Charged Attack: At the cost of stamina, perform one swift strike with increased Anemo damage.

Falling Attack: Gathers wind energy and flies down rapidly, attacking everyone in its path. At the end deals Anemo damage in an area.

• Heart Kill (Elemental Skill)

Cooldown: 10 sec.

Quick Tap: Unleashes a rushing Heart Kill that deals Anemo damage.

Long press: Gathers a charge and attacks with a more powerful blow. Upon gaining a charge, an effect appears Deviations, enhancing the effect of Heart Kill. If the skill button is released or the charge runs out, dashes forward and attacks with Anemo's power.

Deviation:

1. Increases the damage of the next Heart Slay hit (stacks up to 4 times).
2. At the 4th stack of Deflection, the effect occurs Correct opinion, which additionally increases the damage of the following attacks, and also increases the area of ​​effect.

• Hurricane Strike (Elemental Explosion)

Cooldown: 12 sec.

Energy consumption: 40

Launches into the air and performs an explosive Fudo-style Void Projectile attack:

1. Is being created hurricane tunnel, which draws enemies and objects into itself and deals Anemo damage in an area.
2. If enemies have Electro/Hydro/Pyro/Cryo status, Void Projectile applies eye of the hurricane. When it explodes, it deals area damage with the corresponding element.
3. Eye of the Hurricane can only be cast on 4 opponents simultaneously. The same enemy can only be affected by one element.

The order of pumping

When pumping Heizo, you need to increase everything three talents up to at least level 6. All skills are aimed at dealing damage and are interconnected, however, the elemental skill contributes the highest damage. In addition, it is important to take into account the composition of Heizo's team: if he plays in a squad where most of the damage comes from allies, then it is better to focus on the elemental skill and ult. If the team has buffers for damage or the speed of normal attacks, then it also makes sense to develop them above level 6. Thus, the priority of leveling Heizo's talents looks like this:

• elemental skill > elemental explosion > normal attacks.

Passive skills

Constellations

key constellation, which is useful for Heizo in all positions - C1, since in this case it is enough for the hero to enter the battlefield in order to already receive 1 level of Deflection of the elemental skill. In general, all constellations are aimed at increasing the character's own damage, so it is advisable to build on the desired additions:

• If you want more dispel damage and a stronger screed, we recommend that you pay attention to C2 и С4 - this will increase the effect of the ult and allow you to use it more often.
• If you want to increase your own damage Heizo, then the best constellation will be C6, since it gives critical damage and a critical chance when using an elemental skill, which, without additional bonuses, has high damage rates.

Advantages and disadvantages

Best builds for Heizo in Genshin Impact

Despite the fact that Heizo can play in different teams, the principles for choosing a build for him are about the same. This greatly simplifies the assembly of Heizo, since he does not need to be “dressed up” every time to play with him in a different squad.

Recommended characteristic value

Heizo needs crit. chance/crit. damage, Attack Power и mastery of the elements. Ideally, you should keep a balance of all three characteristics, since, however, depending on the allies, his elemental mastery stat may depreciate. This happens in teams where his damage is accelerated primarily through crits and there are no sub-dps that inflict an elemental status for dispel from the pocket.

Characteristics that are recommended to look for in artifacts:

Artifact	Main characteristic	Additional stats
Flower of Life	HP (permanent)	Attack Power % Crete. damage / Crit Chance. hits Elemental Mastery Energy Recovery %
Feather of Death	Attack Power (Permanent)	Attack Power % Crete. damage / Crit Chance. hits Elemental Mastery Energy Recovery %
The sands of Time	Elemental Mastery / Attack Power %	Crete. damage Crit chance. hits Attack Power % / Elemental Mastery Energy Recovery %
space cup	Bonus Anemo Damage %	Crete. damage  Crit chance. hits  Attack Power % Elemental Mastery / Energy Recovery %
Crown of Mind	Elemental Mastery / Crit. damage / crit chance hits	Crete. damage / Crit Chance. Hits / Elemental Mastery Attack Power % Energy Recovery %

Optimal characteristic values:

• ATK: from 1500 units and above.
• Elemental Mastery: from 100-150 units.
• Chance of crit and crit. damage: Ratio 1:2 (60 Ksh and 120 KU) or higher.
• Energy recovery: 120% is the maximum. Heizo does not need to gain a large amount of this stat.

Best weapon

Weapons for Heizo must contain crit stats. chance/crit. damage, attack power, and elemental mastery. His ultimate is cheap, so it makes no sense to take a weapon to restore energy for it. For the best build of Heizo, it is necessary to maintain a balance between artifacts and weapons so that the catalyst adds the missing stats.

How to play Heizo

Heizo's main damage is concentrated in his elemental skill. While holding the skill, Sikanoin starts to accumulate charges Deviations. At level 4, he gets the most powerful buff. Correct opinion, which already at the 8th level of pumping can show numbers from 900% damage and above, which is quite a lot for an epic hero. At the same time, it is relatively easy to gain stacks for the maximum bonus, and it is not at all necessary to hold the skill every time.

However, there is no specific rotation, since the set of stacks depends on the presence of the first constellation, the characteristics of the battle and the team. Below we present the easiest variation to perform.

Rotation

Rotation option to get max. elemental skill level:

1. Normal attack - 1 stack.
2. Charged attack - 2 stacks.
3. Ulta - 3 stacks
4. Normal attack again - 4 stacks.
5. Elemental Skill.

Explosion of the elements Heizo also deals a lot of damage and has a fast cooldown (12 seconds) and the cost of everything 40 units of energy. Therefore, for maximum damage of Heizo, it is important to press it on cooldown, in addition, its activation also affects the strengthening of stacks.

Сonclusion

Shikanoin Heizou has good potential to take the main dps position in the squad. Although the hero still has special mechanics and conditions that must be observed and taken into account for maximum implementation. He can also act as a sup-dd, but most of his constellations and skills are focused more on dealing his own damage, with the exception of a couple of passive talents.
