Heizou is a very special melee anemo catalyst user who is shockingly powerful for a four-star unit. His versatility enables him to do a variety of tasks. He is most often and successfully used as a quickswap sub-DPS or response driver.We suggest using Skyward Atlas in a quickswap team or Sacrificial Fragments in a reaction driver role for the optimal Genshin Impact Heizou build. Viridescent Venerer is the ideal artifact set for him; in general, you want to look for pieces that have crit, elemental mastery, and energy recharge.Leveling up his elemental skill should come first in a quickswap team, followed by his burst and regular attack. You should still give his elemental skill top priority as a response driver, but after that you should focus on his regular attack, followed by his burst.Heizou has tough competition since his grouping isn't as powerful as that of his other anemo equivalents, particularly Genshin Impact’s Kazuha and Genshin Impact’s Sucrose, who both easily perform the same position and provide benefits to their teammates. But in many teams, his distinctive kit, adaptability, and reasonably priced build possibilities make him an a useful player.

How to Utilize Heizou

by Genshin ImpactHeizou is most effective, as previously mentioned, as a reaction driver, where he uses his anemo application to trigger swirls and shred enemy resistance, or as a quickswap sub-DPS, where his goal is to apply relevant buffs and deal a significant amount of damage in a short window.When on the field, we advise you to concentrate on bringing Heizou to max Declension stacks as soon as possible, because they enhance his elemental skill, if you want to maximize the use of his kit. Declension stacks may be obtained in two ways: either by starting a swirl reaction using Heizou, or by holding the elemental skill button to charge it.It takes a while to hold the skill button to full stacks, and doing so exposes you to opponent attacks. For this reason, we advise depending on swirl responses in order to acquire stacks. If you pair Heizou with a teammate who can apply elemental reactions from off-field, you can easily activate his swirl reactions.

Which weapon suits Heizou the best?

Heizou's ideal weapon is dependent on your playstyle, however almost every weapon is useful for him in some capacity.

DPS Heizou Quickswap

Heizou may be considered a high-impact quickswap DPS if Because of its strong base stat and passive that just demands you to strike an adversary with a standard attack, Skyward Atlas is his best in slot.Memory of Dust is a very potent choice if you're using a shielder and quickswap DPS Heizou. However, if you're partnered with a buffer like Bennett, its impacts become less significant.Although it takes around 30 seconds to get the three stacks necessary to experience its full impact, Kagura's Verity is also a good option for quickswap DPS Heizou. This means that Heizou does a bit less damage at the beginning of a battle.The Widsith at R5 is your greatest choice when it comes to four-star possibilities, albeit his damage varies greatly according on the buffs he has on throughout his rotation.Alternatively, a more reliable approach that enables him to employ an additional skill per rotation is Sacrificial Fragments at R3 or above. With this enhancement and the extra elemental mastery it grants, you have more space to create offensive artifacts.
Weapon Effect How to obtain
Skyward Atlas Base stat: attack
Skill: increases elemental damage bonus by 12%. Normal attack hits have a 50% chance to earn the favour of the clouds, which actively seek out nearby opponents to attack for 15 seconds, dealing 160% attack damage. This can only occur once every 30 seconds
Gacha
Memory of Dust Base stat: attack
Skill: increases shield strength by 20%. Scoring hits on opponents increases attack by 4% for eight seconds, to a max of five stacks. This can only occur once every 0.3 seconds. While the wielder is protected by a shield, this attack buff increases by 100%
Gacha
Kagura’s Verity Base stat: crit damage
Skill: upon using an elemental skill, the wielder gains the Kagura Dance effect, which increases their elemental skill damage by 12% for 16 seconds. Max three stacks. The equipping character gains a 12% increase to all elemental damage bonuses when they possess three stacks
Gacha
Widsith Base stat: crit damage
Skill: when a character takes to the field, they gain a random song for ten seconds. This can only occur once every 30 seconds. The recitative song increases attack by 60%, the Aria song increases all elemental damage by 48%, and the Interlude song increases elemental mastery by 240
Gacha
Sacrificial Fragments Base stat: elemental mastery
Skill: when the wielder’s elemental skill deals damage to an opponent, the skill has a 40% chance to end its own cooldown. This can only occur once every 30 seconds
Gacha
Heizou, the reaction driver

If your Heizou is more comfortable concentrating on accelerating elemental reactions, then any weapon with an EM base stat is superior. In particular, the greatest option is Sacrificial Fragments as it has the highest EM base stat of any four-star weapon and permits more swirls, which is quite advantageous in multi-target combat.Magic Guide is a very affordable choice if you don't have Sacrificial Fragments for your response driver Heizou, since it provides a significant amount of elemental mastery. Mappa Mare is also an excellent option as it's more versatile and lets you play a reaction driver DPS hybrid build, even if it grants less elemental mastery overall than Magic Guide.
Weapon Effect How to obtain
Sacrificial Fragments Base stat: elemental mastery

Which items are the finest for Heizou?

For Heizou, the ideal artifact set is Viridescent Venerer. Nothing else comes close to boosting not only his own damage but also the rest of his squad.You can also use an easy-to-obtain combo of two pieces of Viridescent Venerer with two pieces of a set that gives you an elemental mastery boost (like Gilded Dreams) or two pieces of a set that gives you an attack boost (like Gladiator's Finale) if you have another full set Viridescent Venerer holder on your Heizou team. The total team damage gain offered by a complete Viridescent Venerer set is greater than that of this set, even though it costs far less in damage loss and gives you more control over your stats and sub-stats.Lastly, you have two options: Depending on whether Heizou is paired with pyro or electro characters, you may have either four pieces of Lavawalker or four pieces of Thundersoother. Similar to the last alternative set, this is excellent for Heizou's individual damage but falls short of VV in terms of team damage overall. Additionally, it limits your options for team compositions unless you're prepared to construct many sets and swap them out when switching between electrical and pyro allies.
Artifact set Effect How to obtain

Four equipped: increases damage dealt against enemies affected by electro by 35%
Midsummer Courtyard domain in Starfell Valley, Starsnatch Cliff

Sub-stats and artifact stats

The same way with weapon selections, Heizou's intended purpose should guide your choice of artifact stat and sub-stat. Naturally, obtaining enough energy recharge is still crucial, regardless of position.Generally speaking, assuming you're content to use two talents prior to his explosion, a swiftswap DPS Reaction driver Heizou needs around 100–12% energy recharge, whereas Heizou needs about 120–130%. If you want him to explode after using only one skill, these requirements go up by around 50%; however, if he is at C4 or above, this amount goes down.Use Zakharov's Energy Recharge Calculator to determine the precise amount of energy recharge your Heizou requires.Quickswap Heizou's primary DPS numbers
  • Sands – attack%
  • Goblet – anemo damage%
  • Circlet – crit rate/crit damage (try to remain a 1:2 crit rate to crit damage ratio overall)
Quickswap Heizou DPS sub-statistics
  • Energy recharge
  • Attack%
  • Crit rate/crit damage
  • Elemental mastery
Heizou's reaction driver's key statistics<
  • Sands – elemental mastery
  • Goblet – elemental mastery
  • Circlet – elemental mastery
Heizou sub-stats, the reaction driverRemember that farming all of the elemental mastery artifacts requires a significant time and financial commitment due to their low drop rate, although elemental driver Heizou finds them to be well worth the effort. You won't have much leeway to be picky about sub-stats as a result. But give the following top priority, if at all possible.
  • Elemental mastery
  • Energy recharge
  • Attack%
  • Crit rate/crit damage (try to remain a 1:2 crit rate to crit damage ratio overall)

Which Heizou team compositions are the best?

As this guide's introduction said, Heizou can fit into many elemental response teams, but he also confronts tough competition, particularly because of his limited grouping and boosting skills.Nonetheless, he is a potent catalyst and sub-DPS in a range of comps, such as vaporize, reverse vape, freeze, and hyperbloom teams, because to his high damage ceiling and swirling ability.These are a few of our top Heizou squads. Remember that you may change certain characters depending on your choices and what is available.
