Genshin Impact Version 2.8 might not bring any new 5 star characters, but Shikanoin Heizou still looks like he'll be fun to play as. Like the other Anemo characters, Shikanoin Heizou may easily fit in to any team you field into the Spiral Abyss due to the Swirl reactions that he facilitates.
Since this is a leak, this might not exactly represent what the Genshin Impact 2.8 Spiral Abyss will be once the update goes live. Take all of this information with a grain of salt.
