Shikanoin Heizou
Heizou is an easy-to-pilot Anemo main DPS with comfy energy and self-sufficient Swirl, great for newer players. If you want him buffing the team, farm 4pc Viridescent Venerer; if you want him carrying, go Marechaussee Hunter. No rush on the weapon: the 4-star The Widsith or Solar Pearl already hit hard, so skipping Lost Prayer is fine. Get enough Energy Recharge to burst every rotation first, then chase CRIT.

Fudou Style Martial Arts
Performs up to 5 fisticuffs empowered by a mighty wind, dealing Anemo DMG.
Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of Stamina and performs a sweeping kick that deals Anemo DMG.
Plunging Attack
Calling upon the surging wind, Heizou plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all opponents in his path. Deals AoE Anemo DMG upon impact with the ground.
Heartstopper Strike
Wields the swift winds to launch a Heartstopper Strike that deals Anemo DMG.
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 DMG.
Declension
Increases the power of the next Heartstopper Strike. Max 4 stacks.
When you possess 4 Declension stacks, the Conviction effect will be produced, which will cause the next Heartstopper Strike to be even stronger and have a larger AoE.
This seemingly ordinary strike contains Heizou's desire for criminals to honestly confess and repent.
Windmuster Kick
When Vacuum Slugger hits opponents affected by Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro, these opponents will be afflicted with Windmuster Iris. This Windmuster Iris will explode after a moment and dissipate, dealing AoE DMG of the corresponding aforementioned elemental type.
Vacuum Slugger can afflict a maximum of 4 opponents with the Windmuster Iris. A single opponent cannot be under the effect of Windmuster Irises of different elements at the same time.
A unique technique that gathers Anemo in one place before unleashing it all in one kick. Is always there in a pinch to land on some criminal's fleeing back.
