Heartstopper Strike – Elemental Skill
- Single Press: Charges wind to deliver Heartstopper Strike, dealing Anemo damage
- Hold: Charges the Heartstopper Strike and gains the Declension effect while charging. This increases the ability’s power and unleashes a more powerful Strike after a long charge.
- Declension: Increases the power of next Heartstopper Strike. This ability allows you to you possess four Declension stacks. When Heizou has four stacks, he gains the Conviction effect, which further increases the next Heartstopper Strike’s power and range.
Windmuster Kick – Elemental Burst
Heizou jumps high and uses Fudou Style Vacuum Slugger and kicks the enemy. The Vaccum Slugger explodes after hitting and traps the target in Windtunnel that pulls in nearby objects and opponents, dealing AOE Anemo damage.
If Fudou Style Vacuum Slugger connects with an enemy already affected by Hydro, Pyro, Cryo or Electro, it turns into a Windmuster Iris. The mustered wind will then explode and deal AOE damage of the corresponding elemental type.
The Fudou Style Vacuum Slugger affects a maximum of four enemies with the Windmuster Iris. You can’t afflict a single enemy with Windmuster Iris of different elemental type damage.
