Learn how to put together the best possible Bennett build
Want to learn how to create the best Bennett build in Genshin Impact?Pyro Sword user Bennett is a member of the Adventurer’s Guild and his own Benny’s Adventure Team (though he’s the only member). Between being born on Leap Day, always attracting rain, and often getting hit by lightning, Bennett’s widely known as the unluckiest person in Mondstadt. We hope you have better luck when pulling for him!
Bennett is a very versatile character who can be built as a support or a DPS. We’ll cover both builds in this guide, which will show you how to create the best Bennett build inGenshin Impact. Below we’ll cover everything you need to know about Bennett, including wishing, weapons, artifacts, ascension materials, talents, abilities, and constellations.
How to build Bennett as healer support/DPS in Genshin Impact
Alternatives:Favonius Sword, Festering Desire
Regardless of if you’re building Bennett as a support or a DPS, it’s smart to equip him with a weapon that has added Energy Recharge stats.Skyward Bladeis your best bet as it increases Energy Recharge while also boosting CRIT Rate, DMG, and SPD for short periods of time. If you don’t have Skyward Blade, seek out aFavonius SwordorFestering Desire— these also increase Energy Recharge.
Alternative:Noblesse Oblige
Bennett’s best artifacts really depend on what you’re building him for. If you’re exclusively using Bennett as a healer, we’d recommend a 4-pieceMaiden’s Belovedset, although a 4-pieceNoblesse Obligeworks well for healing too. For this build, you’ll want to prioritize the following stats and substats:
When picking out which stats and substats to prioritize for a healer Bennett build, look for the following:
Alternative:A combination of both sets mentioned above
If you’re using Bennett as a DPS, try either a 4-pieceCrimson Witchor a 4-pieceGladiator’s Finaleset. A combination of a 2-piece set of each of these kits would work as well!
When using Bennett as a DPS, you’ll want to look for the following stats and substats:
You’ll want to prioritize leveling up Bennett’sElemental Burstfirst and then hisElemental Skill. If you’re going to use him as a DPS, feel free to level up hisNormal Attackas well; just prioritize this last. Here’s everything Bennett has in store:
5* alternative:Tartaglia replacing Xingqiu as main DPS
Bennett makes for such an excellent healing support character that you can place him into almost any team to great effect. This is just one of many possible DPS/sub-DPS/support combos where Bennett’s Elemental Burst and its huge buffs to both attack and healing have a chance to shine.
Pair free Pyro characterXianglingas sub-DPS with a powerful Hydro main:Xingqiuis the best of the 4* characters, to the point where substituting 5*Tartagliaif you have him is only a slight (but nevertheless appreciable) upgrade. These two working in combination as the party’s main offensive characters trigger theVapourize Elemental Reaction, which results in a powerful damage boost across the board against afflicted enemies.
Meanwhile, having an Anemo character as general support allows you to group enemies effectively by applying Swirl to any opponent who’s already affected by another character’s element. Anemo characters are heavily weighted towards 5* rarity, butSucroseis a high-tier 4* who’ll do an admirable job here.
5* alternative:Hu Tao replacing Xiangling as secondary DPS
Keeping a Pyro character in the secondary DPS position allows Bennett and his party to benefit from the 25% attack increase the Fervent Flames elemental resonance grants. Pyro is the most populous element in Genshin Impact at the time of writing, so you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to picking a sub-DPS. I’ve stuck withXianglingsince she and Bennett work really well together, but if you have one of Genshin’s many 5* Pyro wielders likeHu Taothis is a good chance to try them out in a sub-DPS role, since no-one is likely to outshine Bennett.
After Bennett himself,Barbarais Genshin Impact’s most powerful healer; and, just like Bennett, she’s a 4* character, so surprisingly easy to obtain. Put her in the healer position to benefit from her abilities and the Vapourize reaction her Hydro powers can help to create. Finally,Sucrosecan comfortably occupy the same support role she does in the Bennett healer team to the same effect as crowd control/power amplifier.
To fully ascend Bennett, you’ll need:
To get all of these materials, you’ll need to defeat Pyro bosses (Regisvine or Hypostasis) to get enough Agnidus Agate. Everflame Seeds can only be obtained by defeating the Pyro Regisvine. Additionally, you’ll have to journey throughout Mondstadt to forage Windwheel Asters and throughout Teyvat to fight Treasure Hoarders for their precious Insignias.
To fully level up one of Bennett’s talents, you’ll need:
To triple crown Bennett’s talents, you’ll need to collect all these materials three times over.You can pick up the books required for Bennett’s talents at the Forsaken Rift domain (Wednesday/Saturday/Sunday only), Dvalin’s Plumes can only be picked up as rewards from completing the Stormterror Challenge at Level 70+. Finally, Crowns of Insight come from limited-time events or by making offerings to the Frostbearing Tree and the Sacred Sakura.
Bennett’sConstellation 1is a great investment as it provides a decent boost to his healing ability. Be careful when wishing for his Constellations, though, because Bennett’sConstellation 6is among the most widely-hated Constellations in Genshin Impact. It removes any character’s physical DMG bonus, meaning if you’re using a character like Razor who’s built for physical DMG, they’ll be doing less DMG when Bennett uses his Burst. It also overrides other elements, so if you’re using a Cryo character like Chongyun to apply the Melt reaction, Bennett’s C6 will cancel this out. As tempting as it may seem, we’d recommend holding off on activating Bennett’s C6 if you get there. Here are all of his Constellations (including the dreaded C6):
At 4-star rarity, it’s pretty easy to pull Bennett, since you’re able to pull him at any time from Character and Weapon Event Wishbanners, the Standard Wish banner, or the Beginner’s Wish banner. He’s also occasionally featured with an increased drop rate on the a 5-star character’s event banner. What’s more, you can often nab him from the Starglitter Exchange in Paimon’s Bargains, where he’s typically featured every May and November.
