- Normal Attack: Performs up to 5 fisticuffs empowered by a mighty wind, dealing Anemo DMG.
- Charged Attack: Consumes a set amount of Stamina to perform a sweeping kick, dealing 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.
Heizou’s Elemental Skill, Heartstopper Strike, deals Anemo damage when tapping it. If you hold the skill it creates a bigger blow. While charging it, Heizou receives the Declension effect which increases the damage based on the hold duration. This effect has four stacks and after the fourth stack is obtained, the Conviction effect becomes active, increasing further damage.
His Elemental Burst, Windmuster Kick, creates an Anemo Vacuum Slugger that moves towards an enemy. It explodes upon hitting the enemy, creating an Arresting Windtunnel that draws enemies while dealing Anemo Damage. If the Vacuum slugger hits opponents affected by Pyro, Electro, Cryo, or Hydro, they will receive the Windmuster effect. The Windmuster will explode after a moment, dealing extra damage of the appropriate Elemental damage type (Pyro, Electro, Cryo, or Hydro) and can affect up to four enemies at once. They can’t receive damage from more than one of the four Elemental types mentioned.
