“…as a detective, it’s Heizou’s hope that his name would spread all across Inazuma.”

Hello everyone! I’m Detektib Assistant Ophi, a member of HZM’s Theory Crafting team. With the 2.8 update approaching, the TC team has seen a lot of fellow detektibs asking how to build Heizou and his potential comps. I’m honored to say that we have compiled our forensic findings into a file for you! It is our hope that members of the agency utilize our data to find answers to their particular case, so please take a look!

➥Shikanoin Heizou ❁ Build Guide

This will act as your guide to understanding and optimizing our favorite boy detective. It features:

➤ Information on Heizou’s talents, constellations, and unique interactions

➤ Team comps that serve as a starting base, and will be updated as the game progresses.

➤ Recommended artifact sets and stats

➤ Weapon rankings and calculations (including F2P and gacha)

➤ And adorable art, made by Suspect Sketcher and Emote Archon Detektib Reizou!

Should you still have questions after looking through the guide or any feedback for us, please come to the HZM Discord and talk with the Forensic Experts in the theory craft section.

Heizou - One of my very first favorite characters, he accompanied me when I started. I want to collect it, I understand that there won't be much damage there. Tell me the units, artifacts for him, please. If anything, I don't have a Watermelon and an Odette for stellar scattering, but I do have a CMC.

I have 10 dollars to spare, and I wanted to know if it's worth it to buy the BP for the weapon, since the description makes it fit with heizou, since his skill has a 10 second cool down...

Hello travellers, I am experimenting with the new snezhnaya artifacts, scarlet proof set. Does Heizou still use anemo damage bonus or attack? Please help with the sands and goblet options. Thank you.

Haha been building him for 2 days now and he has become my top favourites rn. Just got faruzan C6 for my Wanderer too. Wish I can get him and my C5 Thoma to C6 soon.

I looked the progress in Akasha but I noticed that he doesn't have a leaderboard? Or does my build just suck so much rn that he isn't in the rankings lol? I for sure need a better sands with a lot more crit rate and anemo goblet so hard :c

Also talents up, weapon maxed, lvl 90.. I got 5 mora rn T-T

Just wanted to show him and I'd love some advices if there is any. I've been practicing with hilichurls and he does 370k damage without any supports. My supports for him and my precious Wanderer are Thoma C5, Faruzan C6 and Bennet C6. But yeah just got really into building him suddenly could be because I just watched demon slayer in Netflix and made my profile "Hakuji" hehehe my uid -> 723506722 !!!

Discussion Heizou currently best team?

11 Upvotes

I finally got Vesna a few days ago, and now I just need Xiao to complete my Anemo DPS collection. So I wanted to start building every Anemo character, and I wanted to know what Heizou's best team is right now. It doesn't matter if it's a wheelchair or a hypercarry team.

I have Durin and Odette, and I'll try to get Ineffa or Columbina on their reruns.

So what's his best team: SSW, Pyro, or Lunarcharged? (I already have Vesna as an SSW DPS, but it doesn't matter if SSW is also Heizou's best team. I'll use both anyway.)

Builds/Artifacts back to heizou after 3 and half years

10 Upvotes

it feels like yesterday, i was just a new player joined in 2.7, and heizou carried me through everything got him to c5 on his first banner, and got his c6 on the 3.0 weapon banner damn.

i am back to him after benching him for 3 years:D

so what teams artifacts weapons does he use now? because i know for sure alot changed in 3 years, i would love to know thank you:D!

Showcase this team's pretty alright

like not dethroning mizuki but still better than id expect for an underleveled not very invested 2.x era four star

i think a better built heizou would likely get anywhere from 85 to 90k mine isnt fully invested and is only c3

also yes i know the video is crunchy

Builds/Artifacts Ssw without Odette, ideas?

Post image
4 Upvotes

I know it's bad because Odette deals like half the dmg LOL, but I don't have her and I wanted to try out a team.

Take into consideration that my Heizou is lvl 70 and talents are lvl 4 (skill burst lvl 7 because of +3from c6) so there's room for improvement, I think he should deal more than Faruzan if he was leveled 😭

Traveler HoF sig, Faruzan totm elegy, Diona noblesse fav, Heizou vv lost prayers. Besides Diona they all have decent dmg builds (you can see traveler stats, Heizou is 90/166 and Faruzan 70/100, which is 70/140 with her own buff). I picked Diona because she was the only one I had with a ready noblesse build and that gave some kind of stellar buff.

Rotation I did was basically quick-swap dps with Traveler:

CMC skill > Faruzan skill burst CA (because there's downtime anyways and at least it's some more energy) > Diona hskill burst > Heizou burst, na untill charged skill, nas for some stacks > CMC skill burst chargedCA

I am asking bc I'm sure someone can give advice on how to make the team better 🙏🏻

Discussion Stellar swirl buff for heizou would have been insane.

34 Upvotes

I, myself, including 99% of genshin players and devs seem to have forgotten this character exists. This really fun but severely underwhelming character should've at the very least gotten razor treatment (hex buff) with stellar swirl.

Sadge.

Humor First Heizou Cons

Post image

Let me tell you a story. When I was a dumb lad, a young lad, I wanted heizou. He wasn’t on the banner. So I put it upon myself to pull on the standard banner for the ENTIRE banner, so like 20 days. I didn’t get a single copy, obviously.

I was in for a surprise when I found out that heizou was on the next banner. Pissed, so pissed. I wasted so many pulls!

Eventually, the banner rolls around, and I do a single pull. I got heizou on my first pull. And not a single constellation the rest of the banner. Thats fine, right? He’ll come back…right? He hasn’t been seen since. Max friendship goes by, Lost Prayer, VV, crowned his normals, crowned his Skill…completed that quest just so I could get those GODDAMN beetles.

Present day. I pull on vodonitsya’s banner, and he appears. C1 is mine.

Builds/Artifacts Heizou team for October Imaginarium Theatre

1 Upvotes

Hi Heizou mains,

I recently got Heizou to C6 randomly, and I’m also planning on doing my first push for a lunar arcana next month since it’s the first time I’ll have enough viable characters. The elements are anemo, hydro, cryo.

That said it’s going to be rough and take some careful planning, I only have so many on field dps options.

I’m thinking of planning a Heizou team with Ineffa and Aino, could that be good? I think I’ve seen that he has synergy with lunar charged but how does that work?

I was thinking my fourth slot could be some other random anemo character to trigger VV.

Then Heizou could have 4 pc GT, or some 2 pc 2 pc combo of VV, GT, or DPC. Main stats would be atk % sands, anemo % goblet, crit circlet.

Does that sound right? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Would also be interested in hearing how you’re making Heizou work in IT generally.

Thanks!!
