Very well put and excellent guide. As an old player myself and with day one Heizou, I can tell you really worked hard on figuring this all out and giving an updated but accurate guide to everyone. I am thankful to you and I appreciate your honest, hard work. I might keep looking more of your content in the future.
@sigma20xx with a c6 faruzan, bennet, and furina team you have plenty of off field damage/aoe and heizou will hit like a truck. Yes it's a ridiculously high investment team, but I think it's incredibly underrated.
@@NoVanity1 the only "high investment" on this team is Faruzan c6 and if you get lucky you can just have it. I got lucky on the Cloud Retainer banner and got my Faruzan to c6. Everyone has Bennet everyone should have Furina
I’m a heizou main, ever since he was released, and I just want to say thank you so so much for giving this boy some love It makes me so happy to see an updated guide on heizou in 2024. There are so many new factors since his release that has made him stronger, and I always wanted guide makers to talk about that It’s a shame a lot of people in the community don’t really talk about Heizou or his kit, so thank you so so much for making this! It made me so happy, and hey! As a heizou main, you even taught me something I didn’t know about his c1 getting stacks when switching characters. I always assumed it caped at one stack So agian, thank you so much for such a detailed guide. You’re awesome! ✨
thank you so much for making an updated guide! i have c5 heizhou but to be honest i almost never played him. i stopped playing genshin in 2021 and just recently joined back. im so glad that i can finally understand how to use him and his abilities in the best way possible, thank you again!
I'm so glad he can be ran as an Anemo DPS. I got Wanderer and Heizou C6 and I was wondering "well what the heck do I do with Heizou now?". The answer; second Anemo DPS (for the alternate abyss team or in case Wanderer catches a cold or something). I was looking at his C6 being like "this wouldn't do anything on a swirl build". I'm kinda insane and I consider playing Wanderer and Heizou with the Bond of Life book and Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy to buff their entire kit (instead of mostly the NAs or just the skill). It might just have a higher damage ceiling. Also C4 Jean, AMC, Zhongli and Miku for full Anemo RES Shred (plenty of shred for 2 teams). Thank you for the video.
I agree with your artifact opinions; however, I am going to be building heizou for an "avatar team", so him buffing the other elements is theme friendly.
This is by far the best Heizou DPS video on TH-cam!! There's a lot of misleading info on him but I really think you nailed his dps build. He is the only off meta character I actually play because, with proper investment, he can rival a lot of meta teams. This team does amazing single target damage but also decent AOE/grouping which is super valuable. I have almost the same exact build, with similar stats, but I'm running Glad instead of GT. If I run this team with Furina, instead of Xinqui, I can hit for 225k pretty consistently! What set are you running on Faruzan? I'm running Tenacity of the Milileth but I don't fully understand how it works on her exactly. I'm doing it in good faith because I've read that it's her best in slot when she's C6.
@NoVanity1 I'm running 4 piece Tenacity on her as well. The reason the 4 piece Tenacity works for her only at c6 is because the burst also triggers a buff to the active character. When the active character deals damage with that buff, they also proc Pressurized Collapse, which is considered skill damage. This allows Tenacity's 3 second duration to consistently proc. Hope this helps!
Good video, heizou deserves attention. Although the only thing that "bad" with his kit is the skill cool down at 10 seconds, which actually makes 4 piece GT is really good considering that there is no icd on his charge so it takes 4 seconds to get max stacks at c0. Therefore we have 5 seconds downtime on him. This can let you switch to supports and apply buff and then switch back to heizou immediately doing his skill. So rotations will go like -> 1. heizou 4 x N1CA 2. switch between supports (at least 4~5 secs) 3. Switch to heizou use skill immediately 4. Repeat Also considering his NA multipliers are so bad that it is better to switch out to another catalyst(or any elemental applier) user in team to apply elements when you have max stacks. His c2 or c1 should have been replaced with some skill cd reduction of .8 second on swirls every 1 second. But then he probably be hitting harder than navia.
Honestly the best heizou guide i'been seen, thanks! also agree 4pc VV isn't best for him but i was just wonder, between 2 pc 15% anemo + 2 pc %18atk / 2pc + 2pc 30% anemo / 2pc 15%anemo + 2pc GT, which one would be best all around, i know golden troupe is best for big numbers on his skill but, the basics and burst aren't affected, and even when the burst isn't as strong as the skill, still can pack quite a punch
I think you are underselling EM build wayy too much here. For a lot of teams its noticeably better than a pure dps atk/dmg/crit build. For electro-charge teams specifically, it’s not just swirl damage that EM benefits, there are also lots of chain electro-charge reactions that heizou has ownership of by being able to swirl both elements to due the nature of electro-charge perserving both elemental auras. Your assertion that “heizou is the main dps of the team, so you should build for his damage.” Is not always true. As a 4 star his scalings are very low except for his E, it often ends up being much more worth it to build to maximize reaction damage and rez shred for your offielders that have a higher damage potential. Admittedly, it depends on the team to say which build is better but I don’t think either one is “incorrect” as you seem to suggest here.
even tho you're probably correct, imo you dont play heizou if you wanna have the most comp team. you play heizou if you wanna see big numbers go brrrr with his E
if you really wanna go EM, you already have Kazuha/Venti/Sucrose/Sayu for that, specially sucrose is more well suited for that than heizou (aside VV buffs, she buffs 50em + 20% of his em to allys and 20% dmg bonus of the element proc by burst at c6) plus you're kinda wasting all the crazy buffs that heizou has for his skill
12:45 well... if u want to play hypercarry heizhou for the funsies then yes use a different one, but his best teams are as a solo anemo driver. taser, national, beidou fishl aggravate, the like.
I know that it's technically more powerful, but I generally don't wan't to use characters I like in ways that their kit's don't really support. Non of those teams play into Heizou's strength, and most of them prefer Sucrose anyways.
After doing some calculations, I came to the conclusion that the R5 Solar Pearl is better than other 5-star weapons. Feels crazy. I'm surprised but pleasant. Only the Wriothesley signature is better
I run him with Beidou, Fischl and Xingqiu, and while Heizou himself doesn’t do crazy numbers, the team covers offense, defense, constant application, healing and energy recovery quite well. I wouldn’t ruin it in the abyss without full c6 on each of these, but it is still fun to use in boss fights and challenges
As a wanderer main, i build heizou with EM for swirl unlike the former. I guess that is the optimal build for me to maximize his kit. But not neglecting his personal dmg.
u kind of show us its impossiable to 36 star the Abyss by Heizou(it took over 2min for 1side with C6 and 5star Wapon and good Artifacts and c6 supports)
It needs to be an Anemo Character, because the set specifically says after the cinder city user trigger the reaction, at least for now we can equip this on Faruzan and stack her buffs with that 12% for non Natlan characters
My account is relatively new, no great weapons yet. I do have the two free 4stars from Natlan, how would the drinking horn rate until I can get solar pearl?
@PyrrhP It's main stat isn't helpful and the ability is also based on HP which he doesn't scale off of, but because you're new, just run it for now and build other parts of his kit while you wait to get Solar Pearl
it's a good set, but not my favorite. The normal and charged attacks will be nice, but I just like to buff his skill damage. Shimenawa still works for overall damage for him though, good idea
A HEIZOU!!! guide in 2024 I'm all for it

People say that heizou is mid. But my C6 heizou's dps skill with lost prayer hits for 200K+. That almost on par with Navia.
Problem w him is he hits for 100-200k with his skill and burst and then they are on a 6s+ cd and his normals do no dmg

@@giorgostrim3709 True. That can be the issue with 4 star characters. It's up to the RNG gods.
@@NoVanity1same team...heizou at 317k and 150k burst if done right on the one the one sumeru nacho boss

I like to circle back to my c6 Heizo every now and then.
Heizo, Raiden, Beido, and Baizhu. My Aggavating Lightning Punch team.
Solar pearl is made for him basically. With some refinements it will be best in slot.
I agree with your artifact opinions; however, I am going to be building heizou for an "avatar team", so him buffing the other elements is theme friendly.
Found your channel today and i watched almost all your other guides also. Loved your work❤

I actually like how you did abyss , please do it in every video thxx
@@himanshu4826 If I have the character and actually built them, I will lol

funny how i got heizous final con on a standard wish while i was watching this
I bring the best luck
VV on heizou is there to buff his teammates. VV is insane for that
I dont know why im watching this. I dont have heizou. Hes the only 4 star i dont have
Appreciated either way lol
u curious to know about the character u don't have it's just a thing everyone does something I also use to watch the guide of character I don't have
good video ma man
Anemo is my favorite Element And seeing him being a "physical" Anemo character made me like him.
Oh my, Heizou guide in 2024. So we are those who still main Heizou hahahaha
I built him with Scaramouche artifact and Talaytullah 😂😂
i just use him as a sucrose replacement in national cause i dont own sucrose.
He isn't even bult yet and with 6 lvl talents and he already does 70k off the skill. So ya, I am definitely building at the very least for fun
I just got the 5 star weapon from a 50/50 lost maybe i start farming Heizou materials
my alt acc at ar20 pulled heizou but cannot ascend him because i don't have access to inazuma yet and guess im stuck at lv20 heizou for a while
I hope chevreuse and heizou rerun in second paese or in 5.1😊
As a wanderer main, i build heizou with EM for swirl unlike the former. I guess that is the optimal build for me to maximize his kit. But not neglecting his personal dmg.
u kind of show us its impossiable to 36 star the Abyss by Heizou(it took over 2min for 1side with C6 and 5star Wapon and good Artifacts and c6 supports)
Well well well aren't y'all looking for videos like this because Heizou got rerun in 5.2 p2 banner?
how do you know😂
I'm still new but I lucked out and pulled Nuevallet. I have hanzo not sure if I shouldn't level him up
Natlan support set will boost him we just need another element that works with anemo just not geo like kachina
It needs to be an Anemo Character, because the set specifically says after the cinder city user trigger the reaction, at least for now we can equip this on Faruzan and stack her buffs with that 12% for non Natlan characters
Did you mention skyward on him for a weapon? What are your thoughts on it?
Why am i watching this with c1 heizou and c0 faruzan 😭
Goated pfp though
what about Marechaussee Hunter with furina teams?
Watching your run, it seems to me that he needs at least 250 cd or more to achieve 90 seconds
He can definitely work with Marechaussee as do most characters with Furina
My account is relatively new, no great weapons yet. I do have the two free 4stars from Natlan, how would the drinking horn rate until I can get solar pearl?
@PyrrhP It's main stat isn't helpful and the ability is also based on HP which he doesn't scale off of, but because you're new, just run it for now and build other parts of his kit while you wait to get Solar Pearl
i wish i had his c6.
@@YukiChanC I had to get 2 Kazuhas before the game gave his c6 over lol
I am thinking of making Shimenawa Heizou, what you say dude?
it's a good set, but not my favorite. The normal and charged attacks will be nice, but I just like to buff his skill damage. Shimenawa still works for overall damage for him though, good idea
Why not use Heizou with 4pcs Desert Pavilion? His E down time is too long..
His NAs and CAs are not really spectacular comparatively to the focus you could put towards your skill hit
