Shikanoin Heizou is the only new character in Genshin Impact version 2.8. As the first male catalyst user in the game, he is bound to gain the attention of many players. Heizou is the main DPS in the team as his skills do not have any supportive capability for the team.

The main damage output from his skill would be Heizou's Elemental Skill and Burst, where he will deal devastating damage to enemies within range. This article will include the best build for the said Anemo user in Genshin Impact.

1) 4pc Viridescent Venerer

Similar to any other Anemo character in Genshin Impact, the VV set is arguably the best set for Heizou. He can enjoy both Anemo and Swirl Damage by equipping 4-pieces of this artifact.

For the stats, players should go for Attack > Anemo Damage Bonus > Crit Rate/DMG. These stats are important as they will affect Heizou's total damage. As a DPS character, Travelers should try to farm the artifacts with Crit sub-stats.

2) 2pc Viridescent Venerer + 2pc ATK +18%

If Genshin Impact players are having a hard time finding the best VV artifact, they can replace two of them for Gladiator's Finale, Shimenawa's Reminiscence, or Vermillion Hereafter set. Combining the VV set and one of the mentioned sets before, Heizou will gain Anemo Damage and 18% more Attack.

This option could be called the general artifact set for Heizou that can give decent numbers, especially if they are lucky with the sub-stats.

3) 2pc Viridescent Venerer + 2pc Wanderer's Troupe

2-pieces Wanderer's Troupe can also work with 2-pieces Viridescent Venerer set, providing 80 Elemental Mastery. Heizou can bare with the Elemental Mastery effect because he's an Anemo user, and it is especially great if he is teamed with multiple elemental characters. The
