Genshin Impact reveals Heizou's abilities: Elemental skill and burst explained

sportskeeda.com:

A few days remain before Shikanoin Heizou makes his debut in Genshin Impact version 2.8. Today, the developer released a Character Demo for the Anemo user, showcasing snippets of his daily life and a few of his attacks.

Though not much information was revealed about his Elemental Skill and Burst, the last Special Program does explain some of his kits. This article will uncover all official statements regarding Heizou's Elemental Skill and Burst in Genshin Impact.

Genshin Impact's Shikanoin Heizou is the first male catalyst, in addition to wielding an Anemo vision. Unlike the female catalyst-users in the game, Heizou seems to use martial arts instead of directly using the catalyst.

For his Normal Attack, 'Fudou Style Martial Arts,' Heizou used a fighting style and knowledge inherited from his father. From the footage in the Special Program, Heizou can perform up to 5 attacks, each dealing Anemo damage.

Meanwhile, for his Charged Attack, Heizou will consume a certain amount of Stamina to perform an upward sweeping kick that also deals Anemo damage. Unfortunately, there is no footage of him making any Plunging Attack. But players can expect it to be similar to other catalyst-users.

Heizou's Elemental Skill is called Heartstopper Strike and is also an unarmed technique. This skill can be held for a charging effect, which will grant him a special 'Declension' stack.

Once Heizou reaches a certain amount of Declension stacks in Genshin Impact, his Elemental Skill's damage and AoE will increase. Based on the Character Demo released today, it seems that the detective can only stack up to four Declension stacks before it is released to deal damage.
