Genshin Impact's Shinakoin Heizou is a prodigal detective who works under Kujou Sara in the Tenryou Commission. Despite a rebellious past that trickles into his unrestrained approach to work, he's known for being a highly intuitive individual whose unique thought process brings him to the core of the most difficult cases.

Heizou – Skills, Ascension materials, & more!

Fudou Style Martial Arts

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

Elemental Skill: Heartstopper Strike

Tap—Wields the swift winds to launch a Heartstopper Strike that deals Anemo Damage.
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 Damage.
Declension—Increases the power of the next Heartstopper Strike. Max four stacks. When you possess four Declension stacks, the Conviction effect will be produced, which will cause the next Heartstopper Strike to be even stronger and have a larger Area of Effect.
Cooldown—10 seconds.

Elemental Burst: Windmuster Kick

Leaps into the air and uses the Fudou Style Vacuum Slugger to explosively kick his opponent, dealing Area of Effect Anemo Damage.
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 Area of Effect Damage of the corresponding aforementioned elemental type.
Vacuum Slugger can afflict a maximum of four 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.

Passives

Paradoxical Practice—When Shikanoin Heizou activates a Swirl reaction, he will gain one Declension stack for Heartstopper Strike. This effect can be triggered once every 0.1 seconds.
Penetrative Reasoning—After Shikanoin Heizou's Heartstopper Strike hits an opponent, increases all party members' (excluding Shikanoin Heizou) Elemental Mastery by 80 for 10 seconds.
Pre-Existing Guilt—Decreases sprinting Stamina consumption for your own party members by 20 percent. Not stackable with passive Talents that provide the exact same effects.
