Ultimate Heizou Build Guide in Genshin Impact

Heizou is a 4-Star Anemo catalyst user who, given his Anemo damage and grouping abilities, is most likely best suited for an attacking DPS (damage per second) role.

Heizou’s swirl and explosion perks can help your squad deal more damage by pairing him with strong sub-DPS characters who can benefit from elemental reactions.

If you want to know what weapons,artifacts, talents, constellations, and team compositions are suitable for Heizou, you have come to the right place!

Building Heizou

When it comes to weapons, the following are highly recommended for Heizou:

Kagura’s Verity, an Inazuman Catalyst that can be acquired via the Weapon Event Wish, is the greatest 5-star weapon for Heizou.

The Solar Pearl, a 4-star alternate catalyst for Heizou that you can get in the Battle Pass, causes Normal and Elemental attacks to augment each other’s DMG.

If you’re a free-to-play player with no means of getting the above weapons, the Sacrificial Fragments is a 4-star weapon you can get in the Standard Banner.

For Heizou’s artifacts, a 4-piece Viridescent Venerer is the best choice. Focus on the following main stats:

• Circlet of Logos: CRITs
• Sands of Eon: ATK
• Goblet of Eonothem: Anemo DMG
• Substats: Elemental Mastery and CRITs

Prioritize Heartstopper Strike (Elemental Skill) for Talent, with Fudou Style Martial Arts (Normal Attack) next. Heizou’s Elemental Burst, Windmuster Kick, is good, but we recommend leveling up the first two mentioned.

When it comes to team composition, the following are excellent choices:

• DPS: Xiangling
• Sub-DPS: Xingqiu
• Sub-DPS/Support: Shikanoin Heizou
• Healer/Support: Bennett/Kokomi

Heizou’s Constellations are rather good, like most 4-star characters. So, it would be worth spending some of your valuable Primos to unlock his constellations.
