The beta forGenshin ImpactVersion 2.8has officially arrived and there are already multiple leaks about one of the new characters, Shikanoin Heizou. A credibleGenshin Impact leaker named Dimbreath has revealed Heizou’s Elemental Skill and Burst descriptions.

According to multiple voice lines in the game, Shikanoin Heizou is a popular detective who works for the famous Tenryou Commission. His unique way of investigating is effective, but it often lands him in serious trouble. The game’s official Twitter account has confirmed thatHeizou is a new Anemo character inGenshin Impact. Even though he was previously rumored to be the first Dendro vision holder, it seems as though developer HoYoverse decided to equip him with the Anemo element.

When it comes to his rarity, there is still no official information. However, multiple leaks claim that he will be a new four-star character. Considering the timing of his announcement, Heizou will most likely be a part ofGenshin ImpactVersion 2.8, which is rumored to be the last update ofGenshin Impact’scurrent Inazuma arc. Multiple leaks have also revealed that Heizou will have one of, if not the smallest, teen models in the game.
