Also, as an Anemo character, he will likely have supporting abilities, so the most plausible option is either a healer, buffer, or crowd control.

There are leaks suggesting that Heizou might be a Catalyst user. If proven true, this would make him the first-ever male character wielding a Catalyst weapon in the game.

Heizou’s Animations, Elemental Skill, and Elemental Burst Revealed

Another leak has revealed Heizou’s gameplay animations as well as his Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst. Here’s what the leak revealed so far:

• Elemental Skill – Heartstopper Strike: Heizou launches the skill to deal massive Anemo damage. If held, however, it will cause him to charge energy which he then unleashes to deal massive damage.
• Elemental Burst – Windmuster Kick – Heizou leaps into the air then kick his target and deal Anema damage in a wide area. If enemies are affected by a different element, they’ll be afflicted with Windmuster Iris instead which will explode and deal AOE damage after a short duration.

As of now, there’s not much information going on about Heizou except the ones covered by the leaks. Fans of Genshin Impact should be expecting him to arrive in version 2.8 since Kuki Shinobu and Yelan are already confirmed for version 2.7.
