All Shikanoin Heizhou Skills, Talents, and Ascension Materials in Genshin Impact

Shikanoin Heizhou is an upcoming 4-star Anemo Catalyst character in Genshin Impact, a genius detective well renowned for his reasoning skills. It appears he has some force on the battlefield as well, with his attacks resembling kicks and punches like a brawler.

As a 4-star character, Heizhou will most likely be featured alongside another 5-star character in a rate-up in Version 2.8. After that time, Heizhou should be added to other Limited Featured Banners and the Standard Banner to be summoned at any time. As of this writing, Heizhou is not yet released and will release sometime in Version 2.8.

(Disclaimer: His current abilities and constellations are reflective of the Version 2.8 beta test. Any changes will be updated in this guide once he officially drops on the live server.)

Attacks

• Normal Attack: Performs up to 5 fisticuffs empowered by a mighty wind, dealing Anemo DMG.
• Charged Attack: Consumes a certain amount of Stamina and performs a sweeping kick that deals Anemo DMG.
• Plunging Attack: Calling upon the surging wind, Heizhou plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all opponents in his path. Deals AoE Anemo DMG upon impact with the ground.

Elemental Skill

• Heartstopper Strike:
  • Tap: Wields the swift winds to launch a Heartstopper Strike that deals Anemo DMG.
  • Hold: Charges energy to unleash an even stronger blow. He will obtain the Declension effect while charging, which will increase the power of the Heartstopper Strike. When the skill button is released or the skill finishes charging, he will strike forward, dealing Anemo DMG.

Elemental Burst

• Windmuster Kick: Leaps into the air and uses the Fudou Style Vacuum Slugger to explosively kick his opponent, dealing AoE Anemo DMG. When Vacuum Slugger hits opponents affected by Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro, these opponents will be afflicted with Windmuster Iris, which will explode after a moment and deal AoE DMG of the corresponding aforementioned elemental type. Vacuum Slugger can afflict a maximum of 4 opponents with the Windmuster Iris. A single opponent cannot be under the effect of Windmuster Irises of different elements at the same time.
• Cooldown: 12 seconds.
