Overview
Heizou gains Declension stacks from skill and normal attacks (max 4). Hold skill to consume stacks for a powerful Anemo punch that Swirls elements. His burst creates a Fudou Wind Wheel for additional Anemo damage. Build EM for reaction teams or CRIT for personal punch damage.
How to Play
Apply Hydro/Electro/Dendro with off-field characters, build 4 Declension stacks with skill and NAs, then hold skill for Swirl punch. Heizou stays on-field as driver-use normal attacks between skill punches. VV 4pc shreds RES on Swirl for team damage boost.
Optimal Rotation
Nahida Skill → Xingqiu Skill/Burst → Fischl Skill → Heizou Skill → Heizou NA to 4 stacks → Heizou Hold Skill (punch) → Heizou Burst → repeat NA/punch cycle. In National: Bennett Burst → Xiangling Burst → Xingqiu Skill/Burst → Heizou on-field driver.
F2P Options
Sacrificial Fragments or Mappa Mare are F2P catalysts. VV 4pc is farmable. Heizou is a 4★ from standard banner-C0 with Nahida, Xingqiu, and Fischl is a top F2P Hyperbloom team.
Common Mistakes
Using hold skill without 4 Declension stacks-punch damage scales with stacks. Running Heizou without off-field element applicators-Swirl needs auras. Building pure CRIT without EM in Hyperbloom teams. Forgetting VV 4pc-RES shred is his primary team value.
