7:18 There is a slight mistake here, c6 doesn't increase your dmg by only 13%, that's only if you check the crits over c3 crits, it also adds more CR which ends up about 25% dmg increase
As someone who has every Anemo unit except Venti, Heizou is the third most run after Kazuha and Xiao, but the most satisfying when his skill crits. Also I have him C3. Update: I got Venti as well, Anemo collection complete for now
I have every anemo character and have had Xiao and venti for well over a year and tbh I would say heizou for me is much more fun than Xiao due to his versatility whereas Xiao can really only be played in one way if you want to truly utilise his kit/potential. I only have c0 heizou unfortunately
I see this is the Anemo collectors thread. Also have every Anemo character myself. Used to main Xiao, but (basically) banned him from the overworld, because he makes it WAY too easy. Been running around with Heizou (C2) and Kuki trying to get their builds how I like.
@@thefoxhermit i don’t use xiao, itto or raiden in overworld for the same reason, one plunge/charge atk from either of them just kills everything and then you’ve just wasted burst. it’s not fun. punching enemies with heizou however is very enjoyable
I really love Heizou, but I'd honestly have traded one of his constellations for something like a skill cooldown reset once you hit max declension stacks. Or, hell, just a second charge.
Thats seems a bit 5* tbh i mean hes just a 4* and sacrificial fragments helps alot Edit: yeah you all have fair points and thinking about it now, Ignoring meta imagine how fun that would be

I also have been using all 4* which have got event skins that are fichl, ninguang, ang barbara along with flexible spot to clear GAA I don't have heizou though
@@Arko9858 You know- a surprising team comp for him that I find really fun is what I call the "Mystery Inc." comp 😅. Where I use characters with professions that have smth to do with catching criminals. Heizou the detective , Yelan and Fischl the investigators, and Yanfei as the Lawyer. Its a surpsingly fun comp once you use Yanfei as Tankfei while Yelan and Fischl do elektrocharged for Heizou! I like to think if all of these characters met, they would open up their own detective agency where they solve mysteries and crimes across Teyvat. Exploring GAA made it really fun to imagine them trying to solve the mirage mystery together.
i use him as a driver for my off field dpses since both my xingqiu and yelan are busted. heizou/xingqiu/diano/yelan, and even though xq and yelan do most of the damage that's what makes it more viable for end game content and it looks cool as hell
The one main reason I love Heizou is because he's proof miHoyo are realizing catalysts can be more than characters that stand still and wave their hands around to deal damage. I can't wait for more catalysts that actually move as they use normal and charged attacks and have interesting hitboxes that can match sword/claymore/polearm users.
Yea right! I only use 4s catalyst as my main DPS while supported by other 4s char. Yanfei/Barbara/Ninguang/Lisa/Sucrose (building Heizou currently) are viable to be DPS, while supported by XL/XQ/ Fischl/Diona/Ben/Rosaria/Thoma/Noelle/Kaeya/. Melee is really not my play style.
Heizou may not be an SS tier DPS, but he is so fun and satisfying to play! I really hope Hoyo keeps moving in this direction of interesting and fun playstyles!
I value how fun/cool-looking a character's gameplay is over their meta value, and Heizou has such a satisfying playstyle! I got C6 and it feels awesome to get that one big punch. HYV did a great job with his kit.
The negative perception of Heizou comes from the warped view of End game players. Yes i agree that sucrose is objectively better than Heizou, but if you look from an early genshin players perspective, you will find Heizou has much better investment to value ratio than sucrose. Sucrose requires more than 400 EM and a lot of ER% to match the level of utility Heizou provides. Which is pretty hard to achieve in the early game to mid game for most players. Heizou also provides a lot of personal damage, which is a pure serotonin activator for any player. Heizou is a perfect unit to bridge the gap between Early to mid game players and End game players.
There's something very satisfying about punching someone with your own hands and see them fly away. I dunno, no one gives the feeling that Heizou gives.
bro so true - content creators are the reason people are so picky about characters and artifacts in this game. sure there might be the "most optimal" way to play, but every character can get you thru all the content in the game and the abyss even without the most optimal set up. people really out here talking about +/-5sec clear times smh
As a Heizou main, I can confidently say that Heizou is so fun to play. You slap 2 VV and 2 glad on him or 4 VV and he hits like a truck. I have him C6 and use him in taser teams. His damage and utility is insane and I don’t regret getting 7 copies of him 😂
can u guys pls bless me with some luck T-T i got heizou in 5-6 ten pulls so he's c5 now but after that i just keep getting thoma'd😭 i have c34 thoma now and i just need one. more. heizou. cons. PLEASE IM BEGGING FOR LUCK
As someone who owns every character, Heizou is a goddamn breath of fresh air. His design is so exciting and unique and I love Holo truly using Anemo to be creative. Only thing I wish, is that his burst had more grouping power because it just really feels like it should and that his CA could be jump canceled followed by an air skill like Xiao. However, his limits simply highlight the limits of a 4 star character (in most cases)... so let's all just imagine, IMAGINE a 5 star melee catalyst user! The future is bright indeed, I really hope Hoyo continues to bring these new spins on familiar weapons going forward. P. S. Inazuma has another great 4 star, and that's Kuki. I really don't understand all the hate this character gets, my Kuki heals nearly 5k a tick and with constellations that tick lasts until CD resets. Having an Electro healer is so nice for my Ayato taser team.
I must say that I find Kuki really disapointing... You use her skill and swap to others supports 2 times and she's already at the edge of death... So gotta use her skill and heal her fully before starting over. She's not supposed to loose HP. That was a mistake that took her fun away.
@@andreshidalgo7172 I used her in Abyss and she doesn't need to heal herself. You just swap to her, pop her skill and the healing is great. She hurts herself because she boosts the healing when she's at lower hp... Idk, if you build her as a healer she's perfectly fine imo.
@@andreshidalgo7172 and that's how she is meant to be played. You just don't heal Kuki. Sacrifice HP to get maximum heal for others. The heals are fast for a 4 star, and can help anyone on the field. With the electro application off field, building em is also good which boosts her healing too. She is a great unit.
I've noticed that Heizou works very well with Sucrose, because he can energy recharge Sucrose for her to give a decent pull for small fray, while giving free swirl damage if she is tanked with EM. Not only that, having both Heizou and Sucrose in team it would give that 10% run speed and 5% E and Q cool down reduce.
I've been waiting for Heizou for more than half a year and I'm so happy he's actually good. I was planning to pull C3 (which I got in 50 pulls alongside with pity 5 Kazuha) and just use him for exploration, cuz i didnt expect him to be valuable in abyss.... But then he 36*-ed the current abyss for me when none of my top tier 5* DPS could.... bruh.
heizou’s very fun and pretty strong. i haven’t liked a four star this much since rosaria. even if he’s not as meta as sucrose, i’m just glad i have another anemo driver for taser comps since i don’t really like her, both as a character and in terms of her gameplay.
Either way the fact I was looking forward to heizou a lot and he ended up meeting if not surpassing my expectation especially with just how fun he is, also his hangout being, imo, the best hangout, I'm thoroughly satisfied. My 5 star dps's may be technically better but ik I'll be using heizou on my exploration team for a long, long time and honestly, for any early game players heizou is actually a great charachter with how little investment you need for him to pack a punch with his e
he's honestly my fav character to play with up to now.. sure others are stronger or more useful but not even close as the fun i have with him. he can literally do Tekken combos xD
Heizou feels like a breath of fresh air, his fighting style is cool and unique , and i really like using him, wishes have not been kind to me this banner, i got 4 thoma 6-7 4* weapons and few non banner 4* characters before 3 Heizou (even lost 50-50 to diluc). I hope i can atleast c3 him before the banner goes away
Compared to other anemo characters, I think Heizou is the most fun when paired with Yelan. Slapping 4pc VV on Heizou allows him to shred resistance for Yelan's off-field attacks while Heizou himself can take full advantage of Yelan's passive to boost his on-field damage. That 4-stack punch at the end of the rotation feels so satisfying at 150% DMG.
I really like him and I'm glad he didn't turn out to be bad. I managed to hit 56k while he was lv50 with bad artifacts. Sadly only have him at C3, but I'm definitely gonna get him to lv90 as soon as I get the materials, which will probably take a while cause I'm running low on anemo lv up material lol
Biggest triumph of Heizou is that he's a relatively powerful unit that is easy to build and most of all incredibly fun to play. Looking forward to seeing what mihoyo can do with a 5 star version of this type of a design.
I like heizou for the same reason, I like his gameplay, and that is enough for me to invest on him even if we all know that the other unit is better than him
As a heizou main the second he came out, i’d say he is an amazing unit, and he fits well with many F2P teams, at first I didn’t expect much but he surprised me, also you don’t need to worry much about energy recharge, i have 112% er and his burst recharges in a blink of an eye! So i definitely recommend building him, he is an amazing dps/sub dps
something no one really points out is that we shouldnt really be comparing him to other regular anemo units. what he is is a 4 star main dps anemo unit. aka if youre not someone who can afford xiao, heizou is for you
I can afford Xiao and I still gave my 20k primos to C4 Heizou. Will top up if I can't collect much primos till the banner ends and try to get c6 too cuz I need that massive CD. Only triple crowned character beside Yanfei. Boi was hitting 30k raw dmg with gear at lvl 1 talents like 👌🏻. Don't care about a single other anemo character except him.
I've been gushing over Heizou ever since he got leaked back in May. So far I haven't gotten him once and I'm super bummed. I managed to convince my friend who had c3 Heizou to let me raise his (I did all the material grinding) and I'm honestly so shocked that Heizou managed to keep up with my friend's Xiao (same artifacts, 2pc vv 2pc glad) even though he wasn't c6 yet. My friend was also surprised to see that a lvl 70 4 star character could keep up with a 5 star so he went from not wanting Heizou to damage testing and comparing them. (Xiao did better but it's expected).
Yelan and Heizou both breathed new life into the game for a lot of people since as useful as supports are new DPS and sub-DPS units are just so much more fun to get and add more comp diversity like you said. Plus finally a non super niche character Inazuma was a great are but man they limited how the characters are way to much.
I managed to get a C1 Heizou in the process of rolling for Kazuha and I'm really happy with him. I've got a good 2-piece Viridescent Venerer, 2-piece Gladiators set on him with a Skyward Atlas. Even though I haven't managed to get a good VV 4-piece and I have nothing to upgrade his talents with, he's still doing great damage. Pairing him with Kazuha, Xingqiu, and Raiden makes a super fun team.
One thing that we forget about genshin is that the game is not finished yet Like it took 2 years to release a full element, 2 years in a game where elements are the core gameplay. And yet half of the most meta chars are initial chars, showing that they are not willing to powercreep the units that early
Suddenly got C1 Kazuha while Wishing for Heizhou, my best wishes yet, I wasn't even planning to get my Kazuha to C1, I was just planning go get Heizhou
Theres some kind of vauge rumors going around about a scaramouche rework with him being a mele anemo catalyst. If these are true i cant help but think they put out a similar 4 star first to take advantage of the excitement and get people to pull more, knowing full well there is going to be excitement for scaramouche. Again if this is true in a weird way it puts heizou back into that underwhelming inazuma 5 star which is kinda of ironic. Overall though he has been really fun, I have c4 and i think its just a fresh new play style right when things kind of felt stale, I also didn't have any anemo supports or dps so getting kazuha and heizou has definitely been good for my account, and i cant see myself pulling on a character like scara or other anemo dps so in a weird way he's kinda perfect, at least for me.
Everyone's go-to for testing their characters is always the abyss, but I honestly hate doing that. So I never do. I test my characters on world bosses. Specifically, twice: Once in my own world, on my own and with a team. Then again in Co-Op, whether I'm with a friend or in a domain. [Especially domains because the buffs don't actually always help depending on where and who you choose to play there. In Co-Op, the enemies are always stronger. At least, one or two times more, from what it feels like. Which is _perfect_ for me, who doesn't like testing in the abyss because it either feels like a cheat due to how Many buffs you're getting, or like an uphill struggle due to the chambers working against the character you're trying to showcase.
i personally like him as a quickswap, burst into skill does a ton of damge and sets up the rest of your team. i don't think he is meant to stay on the field for very long.
I was able to 36 star the most recent abyss. Lol my internet is so awful I dont even try, but this abyss was so easy I had to customize for the easy 50 primos.
Man, I got my Heizou super late, and got C1 for Kazuha and my first Diluc in the same 10 pull before I got him. But so far, he’s real fun. He’s not fully built yet, but once he is, I’m probably gonna be running around punching things a lot more often than I would like to admit.
Trust me when I say I dont use 90% of my 4 star units, Now After having Heizou at c3 I want to level up my other 4 stars to team up with Heizou. He allows me to have fun
Heizou's really fun to use. I'm someone who gets bored a lot, and build everyone as a dps every now and then. I'd just come off of building dps kazuha, and he did well to be fair, but Heizou is so fun to use and when he crits it's really satisfying imo.
got heizou by accident am so happy and then pull another chances and got thoma damn my heizou feels like an avatar lol + shinobu with her electric ability that causing electric shock and healing, i know those characters are not perfect compared to the others but i am just so happy because they looks cool and fun to combine together and for the last i have bennet for second flame trigger and his ult for dmg and healing bonus
Heizou is pretty much *"Pack a Punch!"* With his Elemental skill and Burst. He's amazing for my vape team and tazer team! And also most 5-star weapon I've tested whether Kagura's Beyblade or Lost Prayers of The Sacred Winds, these two 5-star weapons are most reccomended use weapon if you want him to be a DPS. For Sub whether Widsith or even Sacrificial Fragments. He's insane with most teams because everytime he use swirl it satisfies looking how he cleans up the whole group of enemies.
I just got him from my 10th roll and I love him he's so good and I love his style of play he is a all round great character for me btw I am new to the game so he's my second Anemo character other than the traveler. Much love to this channel bro love your content❤️🤙
Frankly I like to use him to fill in what other anemo characters I have are missing, or to use with those with very high mobility or aoe attack. Theres also the fact that he helps keep stamina being drained by running so he’s good for those who gotta run a lot to get resources. Might be best to use him with either Xiao, sucrose, or Yelan.
Also elemental bursts don’t have an idc, so you can switch him in if you got his c1 and get two stacks. It’s like he’s a character from a fighting game.
i've built all the anemo units bc anemo is my favorite element, and i gotta say that even if its really annoying when he misses the crit in his skill, heizou is pretty fun to play hahs
i lost the 50/50 but got c2 heizou! gives decent croud control if placed right , i have fairly good artifacts on him , and those casually big numbers when it crits is enough to keep me satisfied....
I told everyone that watches my videos that he will be amazing and a viable 4* main DPS after a very long time of letdown releases. Quite some time before he got released while analyzing all of his kit. To show that my prediction was right I cleared the abyss with 36 stars instantly with him as Main DPS only at C1. So I guess I told everyone everything from the getgo.
My opinion is that heizhou and xiao are both good but if they had the same access to res shred outside of zhongli and 5 star constellations Like the PECH characters can with kazu or any other 4p vv holder Making a anemo damage dealer good but very unoptimal if they added a way to reduce anemo res I could see many actually using xiao and heizhou without max cons and busted artifacts clearing abyss.
i must admit after getting upset with not getting kazaha i did get hiezu whilst pulling for kazaha and got im so many times i have him at c4 , but still upset i have not gotten kazaha, i got chi chi who i didnt want and only 3days left to still hope to get kaz. :( 15k primos i have used so far ,i find it really hard to get them with being a ftp player .
For me, i like his gameplay something new for Genshin, punching. And i still waiting for Anemo Support for Anemo DPS just like how Sara and Goro support their Element. Jean is can be Anemo Support but that was c4 and kinda expensive especially she is Standard banner character you need to win 20% chance to get her otherwise you will getting the others.
I just hope mihoyo releases characters that has the same way Heizou attacks. I like the way how Heizou's normail attacks and I would like to have that same playstyle which uses punches or claws as normals.
I’m f2p and have one copy of heizou…is he worth building? I have him partially built and can’t get any damage out of him compared to sucrose. But then, I have no idea what I’m doing compared to most of you….lol!
Tbh i like him because i don't need to rely on my burst that often, when your skill is doing more dmg than burst. Compared to my raiden national, skills in this comp don't do any dmg, also aa, team without using burst is almost useless in a lot of cases, at least i feel some emptiness. Heizou feels good as somethink new to play, i really like to don't use my burst at all in certain situation and that character just fill this gap that i felt. I'm gonna build physical dps too,.probably fischl because i don't have much choice
I'm a die hard meta player, but I raised Heizou at C0 because I just like his animations and drip. But using him on the abyss is another story, I will not use him over sucrose. But for overworld and style he is SSS+, additionally when you pair him with thoma's ult, those are God tier style.
youll need a shield generally only if you hold on to his skill. i have him at c2 so i pretty much am stacked , so even without a shield i can sometimes make it work lol.. have a zhongli, i am trying to figure it out how to dodge attacks again
I was able to get him to C6 because I passed on Yelan, but now I’m regretting not getting Yelan because her skills are really cool. Love Heizou, but now I’m gonna be saving for Yelan’s rerun lol
lol... those two fit soo well together... my comp now is always heizou+yelan and whomever im feeling like playing... but those two are inseparable now.. im def recomend u to pull for her
@@vickdinvick5485 yeah I bet they’re awesome together because using him with Xingqiu is really fun. My main reason for passing was to get Kazuha to C6 since I already had him at C1 but he’s still only at C3 🫠
Honestly i really having a blast for owning heizou and got my c1 kazuha in the same 10 pull but i still have a dilema whether i should put heizou with raiden and fischl or beidou and fischl since i aready max my raiden and both beidou and fischl is still lvl 60. Nevertheless, i still happy with the new playstyle brought by a 4* and make my feels like i’m playing giorno

Yes i agree that sucrose is objectively better than Heizou, but if you look from an early genshin players perspective, you will find Heizou has much better investment to value ratio than sucrose.

Got super lucky when pulling for Kazuha, I have him at c6. He really hits hard and I hope Mihoyo keeps releasing more 4 stars like this.
C6 Kazuha who's a 4 star?
@@Dynasm They mean heizou lol
@@Dynasm sorry I should have specified, I mean Heizou c6. I got Kazuha C0 as well
Did u only get heizou in your pulls?? Bc wtf xk kkkk
I pulled like 70 times and got him to like c1 (also lost the 50/50 😩)
Never had so much fun on a full 4 star team with double electro: heizou, fischl, xingqiu and kuki (or benny boi).
My team is Heizou as a Dps, Thoma as a shield, Bennett as a healer as sub dps and Fischl as support.
I’m in love with this team so much
As a Heizou main, I can confidently say that Heizou is so fun to play. You slap 2 VV and 2 glad on him or 4 VV and he hits like a truck. I have him C6 and use him in taser teams. His damage and utility is insane and I don’t regret getting 7 copies of him 😂
cying in the corner with C69 Ningguang.
Not even thoma constellation this time sadge
So lucky getting his c6, with c1 he already busted hahaha. The na was so fun to use, punching everywhere ~

@@sidiqdidi9925 haha thoma sucks tho
can u guys pls bless me with some luck T-T i got heizou in 5-6 ten pulls so he's c5 now but after that i just keep getting thoma'd😭 i have c34 thoma now and i just need one. more. heizou. cons. PLEASE IM BEGGING FOR LUCK
As someone who owns every character, Heizou is a goddamn breath of fresh air. His design is so exciting and unique and I love Holo truly using Anemo to be creative. Only thing I wish, is that his burst had more grouping power because it just really feels like it should and that his CA could be jump canceled followed by an air skill like Xiao. However, his limits simply highlight the limits of a 4 star character (in most cases)... so let's all just imagine, IMAGINE a 5 star melee catalyst user! The future is bright indeed, I really hope Hoyo continues to bring these new spins on familiar weapons going forward.
P. S. Inazuma has another great 4 star, and that's Kuki. I really don't understand all the hate this character gets, my Kuki heals nearly 5k a tick and with constellations that tick lasts until CD resets. Having an Electro healer is so nice for my Ayato taser team.
Can you share your Kuki build? I wanted to build her as a healer only
I must say that I find Kuki really disapointing... You use her skill and swap to others supports 2 times and she's already at the edge of death... So gotta use her skill and heal her fully before starting over. She's not supposed to loose HP. That was a mistake that took her fun away.
@@andreshidalgo7172 I used her in Abyss and she doesn't need to heal herself. You just swap to her, pop her skill and the healing is great. She hurts herself because she boosts the healing when she's at lower hp... Idk, if you build her as a healer she's perfectly fine imo.
@@nxn7215 Millieth 4 set + Iron Sting. Triple hp% and healing bonus for the circlet.
@@andreshidalgo7172 and that's how she is meant to be played. You just don't heal Kuki. Sacrifice HP to get maximum heal for others. The heals are fast for a 4 star, and can help anyone on the field. With the electro application off field, building em is also good which boosts her healing too. She is a great unit.
I've noticed that Heizou works very well with Sucrose, because he can energy recharge Sucrose for her to give a decent pull for small fray, while giving free swirl damage if she is tanked with EM. Not only that, having both Heizou and Sucrose in team it would give that 10% run speed and 5% E and Q cool down reduce.
4 star DPS COPIUM
Sucrose at C1 with er sands or weapon doesn't need Heizou for battery

@@2b634 Literally like half the 4* are DPS or are capable of being run as one, what are you even on about with your copium BS?
this video made me rlly excited to build my heizou. thank u for making this video! I think it clarified a lot of stuff for me 💕
I've been waiting for Heizou for more than half a year and I'm so happy he's actually good. I was planning to pull C3 (which I got in 50 pulls alongside with pity 5 Kazuha) and just use him for exploration, cuz i didnt expect him to be valuable in abyss.... But then he 36*-ed the current abyss for me when none of my top tier 5* DPS could.... bruh.
waittt what team did u use congrats that sounds so fun :0
Was he even leaked half a year ago?
@@abhinandhari7812 mentioned in dialogues
Heizo is a PHENOMENAL driver for off field support units.
4 pc viradecent enables your whole team
Xianling, fischl, xingqiu, yelan
heizou’s very fun and pretty strong. i haven’t liked a four star this much since rosaria. even if he’s not as meta as sucrose, i’m just glad i have another anemo driver for taser comps since i don’t really like her, both as a character and in terms of her gameplay.
Heizou has the smoothest kit in the game.
Everything flows perfectly.
Heizou (ATK/Crit) with a Kazuha (EM) is doing wonders for me right now. Crowd control with Kaz for a one punch KO.
Either way the fact I was looking forward to heizou a lot and he ended up meeting if not surpassing my expectation especially with just how fun he is, also his hangout being, imo, the best hangout, I'm thoroughly satisfied. My 5 star dps's may be technically better but ik I'll be using heizou on my exploration team for a long, long time and honestly, for any early game players heizou is actually a great charachter with how little investment you need for him to pack a punch with his e
he's honestly my fav character to play with up to now.. sure others are stronger or more useful but not even close as the fun i have with him. he can literally do Tekken combos xD
Heizou feels like a breath of fresh air, his fighting style is cool and unique , and i really like using him, wishes have not been kind to me this banner, i got 4 thoma 6-7 4* weapons and few non banner 4* characters before 3 Heizou (even lost 50-50 to diluc). I hope i can atleast c3 him before the banner goes away
I tried him first, loved the play style. And then went for a 10 pull and got him. He wanted to come home instantly!
Compared to other anemo characters, I think Heizou is the most fun when paired with Yelan.
Slapping 4pc VV on Heizou allows him to shred resistance for Yelan's off-field attacks while Heizou himself can take full advantage of Yelan's passive to boost his on-field damage. That 4-stack punch at the end of the rotation feels so satisfying at 150% DMG.
I really like him and I'm glad he didn't turn out to be bad. I managed to hit 56k while he was lv50 with bad artifacts. Sadly only have him at C3, but I'm definitely gonna get him to lv90 as soon as I get the materials, which will probably take a while cause I'm running low on anemo lv up material lol
“Only c3”
Me who have c0 bc he didn’t want to come home, but Thoma did: 🤡
Biggest triumph of Heizou is that he's a relatively powerful unit that is easy to build and most of all incredibly fun to play. Looking forward to seeing what mihoyo can do with a 5 star version of this type of a design.
I like heizou for the same reason, I like his gameplay, and that is enough for me to invest on him even if we all know that the other unit is better than him
As a heizou main the second he came out, i’d say he is an amazing unit, and he fits well with many F2P teams, at first I didn’t expect much but he surprised me, also you don’t need to worry much about energy recharge, i have 112% er and his burst recharges in a blink of an eye! So i definitely recommend building him, he is an amazing dps/sub dps
Surprisingly got kazuha after 20 pulls on the first day, now I’ve been trying to get klee this whole week, this got my thoma and heizou to c4
something no one really points out is that we shouldnt really be comparing him to other regular anemo units. what he is is a 4 star main dps anemo unit. aka if youre not someone who can afford xiao, heizou is for you
I can afford Xiao and I still gave my 20k primos to C4 Heizou. Will top up if I can't collect much primos till the banner ends and try to get c6 too cuz I need that massive CD. Only triple crowned character beside Yanfei. Boi was hitting 30k raw dmg with gear at lvl 1 talents like 👌🏻. Don't care about a single other anemo character except him.
I've been gushing over Heizou ever since he got leaked back in May. So far I haven't gotten him once and I'm super bummed. I managed to convince my friend who had c3 Heizou to let me raise his (I did all the material grinding) and I'm honestly so shocked that Heizou managed to keep up with my friend's Xiao (same artifacts, 2pc vv 2pc glad) even though he wasn't c6 yet. My friend was also surprised to see that a lvl 70 4 star character could keep up with a 5 star so he went from not wanting Heizou to damage testing and comparing them. (Xiao did better but it's expected).
i hope you'll get him soon!!
Yelan and Heizou both breathed new life into the game for a lot of people since as useful as supports are new DPS and sub-DPS units are just so much more fun to get and add more comp diversity like you said. Plus finally a non super niche character Inazuma was a great are but man they limited how the characters are way to much.
Love how you showed yun jin when you were talking about inazuma characters
I love using Heizou because his stacks reminds me of my Latin lessons back in high school where words are categorized by declensions
I managed to get a C1 Heizou in the process of rolling for Kazuha and I'm really happy with him. I've got a good 2-piece Viridescent Venerer, 2-piece Gladiators set on him with a Skyward Atlas. Even though I haven't managed to get a good VV 4-piece and I have nothing to upgrade his talents with, he's still doing great damage. Pairing him with Kazuha, Xingqiu, and Raiden makes a super fun team.
7:47....one might even consider saying "this opportunity is quite hard to come by"
As someone who have all the anemo characters, i love using him with venti it's just so satisfying
This is an awesome banner. I got a c6 Heizou on the way to Kazuha. I memed around with a Thoma comp and I’ll say, it was pretty fun
I really love playing him. He's currently 8/8/8 rn lvl80 and I've been using him with yelan and fischl. It's really fun.
loving him one of the best 4 stars in the game last time i used a 4 star main dps was when Yanfei came out but Heizou is much fun to use than Yanfei
Heizou has given me new reasons to play the game. He not only showed me a fun playstyle, but I have a better understanding of swire.
Heizou is setting the bar for a future punching hero 🔥
One thing that we forget about genshin is that the game is not finished yet
Like it took 2 years to release a full element, 2 years in a game where elements are the core gameplay.
And yet half of the most meta chars are initial chars, showing that they are not willing to powercreep the units that early
Suddenly got C1 Kazuha while Wishing for Heizhou, my best wishes yet, I wasn't even planning to get my Kazuha to C1, I was just planning go get Heizhou
Theres some kind of vauge rumors going around about a scaramouche rework with him being a mele anemo catalyst. If these are true i cant help but think they put out a similar 4 star first to take advantage of the excitement and get people to pull more, knowing full well there is going to be excitement for scaramouche. Again if this is true in a weird way it puts heizou back into that underwhelming inazuma 5 star which is kinda of ironic. Overall though he has been really fun, I have c4 and i think its just a fresh new play style right when things kind of felt stale, I also didn't have any anemo supports or dps so getting kazuha and heizou has definitely been good for my account, and i cant see myself pulling on a character like scara or other anemo dps so in a weird way he's kinda perfect, at least for me.
Everyone's go-to for testing their characters is always the abyss, but I honestly hate doing that. So I never do.
I test my characters on world bosses. Specifically, twice: Once in my own world, on my own and with a team. Then again in Co-Op, whether I'm with a friend or in a domain. [Especially domains because the buffs don't actually always help depending on where and who you choose to play there.
In Co-Op, the enemies are always stronger. At least, one or two times more, from what it feels like. Which is _perfect_ for me, who doesn't like testing in the abyss because it either feels like a cheat due to how Many buffs you're getting, or like an uphill struggle due to the chambers working against the character you're trying to showcase.
Little dude reinvigorated my love for the game that was murdered by the Redhorn Stonethresher banner.
i personally like him as a quickswap, burst into skill does a ton of damge and sets up the rest of your team. i don't think he is meant to stay on the field for very long.
I love how strong and fun he is
I was able to 36 star the most recent abyss. Lol my internet is so awful I dont even try, but this abyss was so easy I had to customize for the easy 50 primos.
Man, I got my Heizou super late, and got C1 for Kazuha and my first Diluc in the same 10 pull before I got him. But so far, he’s real fun. He’s not fully built yet, but once he is, I’m probably gonna be running around punching things a lot more often than I would like to admit.
Wow displate sounds so cool!
Still haven’t gotten him. I so sad!!!
I feel you, im also hopin😭
Trust me when I say I dont use 90% of my 4 star units, Now After having Heizou at c3 I want to level up my other 4 stars to team up with Heizou. He allows me to have fun
I use Heizou with Beidou, Xingqui, and Zhongli. It's so nice to use off-field attacks with him. I kill enemies so fast 😂
Heizou's really fun to use. I'm someone who gets bored a lot, and build everyone as a dps every now and then. I'd just come off of building dps kazuha, and he did well to be fair, but Heizou is so fun to use and when he crits it's really satisfying imo.
great video! : )
His loadout is really cool and if I had any wishes I would definitely pull on his banner.
i like how positive u r in every vid:)
got heizou by accident am so happy and then pull another chances and got thoma damn my heizou feels like an avatar lol + shinobu with her electric ability that causing electric shock and healing, i know those characters are not perfect compared to the others but i am just so happy because they looks cool and fun to combine together and for the last i have bennet for second flame trigger and his ult for dmg and healing bonus
What we don't tell you is that we're having so much fun, and if you don't want to have that then you do you...
Heizou is pretty much *"Pack a Punch!"* With his Elemental skill and Burst. He's amazing for my vape team and tazer team! And also most 5-star weapon I've tested whether Kagura's Beyblade or Lost Prayers of The Sacred Winds, these two 5-star weapons are most reccomended use weapon if you want him to be a DPS. For Sub whether Widsith or even Sacrificial Fragments.
He's insane with most teams because everytime he use swirl it satisfies looking how he cleans up the whole group of enemies.
I saw someone clear abyss 36 stars ruin with just Xiangling and Bennet on 1sy half and Heizou and Xinqui on second half. All 4 stars weapon.
Burst Thoma + Hazel = Fire bending
I just got him from my 10th roll and I love him he's so good and I love his style of play he is a all round great character for me btw I am new to the game so he's my second Anemo character other than the traveler. Much love to this channel bro love your content❤️🤙
Your so lucky to get him :c I don’t have him yet
The only problem i have now is that i have all anemo gang except xiao and i have to swap 1rtifacts everytime
Frankly I like to use him to fill in what other anemo characters I have are missing, or to use with those with very high mobility or aoe attack. Theres also the fact that he helps keep stamina being drained by running so he’s good for those who gotta run a lot to get resources. Might be best to use him with either Xiao, sucrose, or Yelan.
Also elemental bursts don’t have an idc, so you can switch him in if you got his c1 and get two stacks. It’s like he’s a character from a fighting game.
i've built all the anemo units bc anemo is my favorite element, and i gotta say that even if its really annoying when he misses the crit in his skill, heizou is pretty fun to play hahs
I lost the 50/50 on the kazuha banner and im really considering building heizou instead :/
do it, you're now guaranteed a sumeru character. im waiting for nilou after losing a 50/50 to diluc
@@praevidens lmaoo same, batman is really chasing after ppl isn't it
Heizou Raiden Yelan and Kazuha = the most fun I've had in a long long while.
Honest mids heizou says: "block the guard-crush"
i lost the 50/50 but got c2 heizou! gives decent croud control if placed right , i have fairly good artifacts on him , and those casually big numbers when it crits is enough to keep me satisfied....
I told everyone that watches my videos that he will be amazing and a viable 4* main DPS after a very long time of letdown releases. Quite some time before he got released while analyzing all of his kit. To show that my prediction was right I cleared the abyss with 36 stars instantly with him as Main DPS only at C1. So I guess I told everyone everything from the getgo.
My opinion is that heizhou and xiao are both good but if they had the same access to res shred outside of zhongli and 5 star constellations
Like the PECH characters can with kazu or any other 4p vv holder
Making a anemo damage dealer good but very unoptimal if they added a way to reduce anemo res I could see many actually using xiao and heizhou without max cons and busted artifacts clearing abyss.
8:42 now that makes me worry about him
i must admit after getting upset with not getting kazaha i did get hiezu whilst pulling for kazaha and got im so many times i have him at c4 , but still upset i have not gotten kazaha, i got chi chi who i didnt want and only 3days left to still hope to get kaz. :( 15k primos i have used so far ,i find it really hard to get them with being a ftp player .
I don't have him yet, but truly he really is a fun character to use and...I just want him home already. T - T
I puller for him because of his playstyle. His damage potential is only a bonus hehe.
For me, i like his gameplay something new for Genshin, punching. And i still waiting for Anemo Support for Anemo DPS just like how Sara and Goro support their Element. Jean is can be Anemo Support but that was c4 and kinda expensive especially she is Standard banner character you need to win 20% chance to get her otherwise you will getting the others.
ga sampe 20% bang, weaponnya ga diitung?
Imagine min-maxing, to do Abyss for 15 min every 2 weeks xD
i hope hoyo will design more melee character like this! just love that martial arts thing. Maybe thunder next time!
I just hope mihoyo releases characters that has the same way Heizou attacks. I like the way how Heizou's normail attacks and I would like to have that same playstyle which uses punches or claws as normals.
I lowkey want him to be the only one who punches in the game, i want his atks to be original
I’m f2p and have one copy of heizou…is he worth building? I have him partially built and can’t get any damage out of him compared to sucrose. But then, I have no idea what I’m doing compared to most of you….lol!
Your lucky already to have him I still don’t have him
@@MewMew375 I know, I feel lucky, but just can’t seem to get him to do any damage. I’ll just keep building him, I guess….
@0:59 "a tree gets a planet"
Tbh i like him because i don't need to rely on my burst that often, when your skill is doing more dmg than burst. Compared to my raiden national, skills in this comp don't do any dmg, also aa, team without using burst is almost useless in a lot of cases, at least i feel some emptiness. Heizou feels good as somethink new to play, i really like to don't use my burst at all in certain situation and that character just fill this gap that i felt. I'm gonna build physical dps too,.probably fischl because i don't have much choice
I'm a die hard meta player, but I raised Heizou at C0 because I just like his animations and drip. But using him on the abyss is another story, I will not use him over sucrose. But for overworld and style he is SSS+, additionally when you pair him with thoma's ult, those are God tier style.
Heizo is perfect for a new 4 star character
Not op but still viable even at C0
the only problem i found is that he a piece of paper, so i need to had a shielder on my team to be sure he wont die
youll need a shield generally only if you hold on to his skill. i have him at c2 so i pretty much am stacked , so even without a shield i can sometimes make it work lol.. have a zhongli, i am trying to figure it out how to dodge attacks again
@@sulabhghimire250 no i dont hold it, and you still need a shield
If only I can pull one Heizou to try him out, but all I got was c10 Thoma.
well i just play whoever i want. some characters i love and some just exist
Me wishing on every heizou banner from 0 pity to around 65 and still not having him ☹️
Because of him, mihoyo finally "gacha" me on spending 5€ for welkin, man it was so worth it...
I actually took my Heizou to floor 12 and he's slaps hard!!
8:42 Wanderer? Susge
I was able to get him to C6 because I passed on Yelan, but now I’m regretting not getting Yelan because her skills are really cool. Love Heizou, but now I’m gonna be saving for Yelan’s rerun lol
lol... those two fit soo well together... my comp now is always heizou+yelan and whomever im feeling like playing... but those two are inseparable now.. im def recomend u to pull for her
@@vickdinvick5485 yeah I bet they’re awesome together because using him with Xingqiu is really fun. My main reason for passing was to get Kazuha to C6 since I already had him at C1 but he’s still only at C3 🫠
Honestly i really having a blast for owning heizou and got my c1 kazuha in the same 10 pull but i still have a dilema whether i should put heizou with raiden and fischl or beidou and fischl since i aready max my raiden and both beidou and fischl is still lvl 60. Nevertheless, i still happy with the new playstyle brought by a 4* and make my feels like i’m playing giorno
