Role: Support / ATK Buffer & Healer
Best For: Players who want a flexible support that can provide a powerful ATK buff, reliable healing, and Pyro utility across many different teams.
1. Recommended Artifacts
4-Piece Noblesse Oblige — Recommended for support Bennett because using his Elemental Burst increases the entire party’s ATK, adding another teamwide buff on top of the ATK Bonus already provided by his Burst.
Alternative: 4-Piece Instructor can be useful in reaction-focused teams that benefit heavily from Elemental Mastery. Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City can also be considered in certain teams, particularly when Noblesse Oblige is already being used by another character.
For general support use, Noblesse Oblige remains the simplest and most widely useful choice because Bennett normally wants to use his Burst every rotation anyway.
2. Recommended Weapons
Premium: Aquila Favonia / Skyward Blade
Alternatives: The Alley Flash, Favonius Sword
F2P: Sapwood Blade
Bennett’s ATK buff is based on his Base ATK, which comes from Bennett’s own base stats and the Base ATK of his weapon. ATK% from artifacts does not increase this buff. This makes weapons with high Base ATK especially valuable.
Aquila Favonia provides very high Base ATK for maximizing his buff, while Skyward Blade combines strong Base ATK with Energy Recharge for easier Burst uptime. The Alley Flash is another high-Base-ATK option among 4-star weapons.
Sapwood Blade is an especially practical F2P choice because it is craftable and provides both relatively high Base ATK and Energy Recharge.
3. Recommended Teams
Mavuika Carry: Bennett + Mavuika + Citlali + Xilonen
Arlecchino Carry: Bennett + Arlecchino + Yelan + Kazuha
Vaporize: Bennett + Tartaglia + Xiangling + Kazuha
Bennett fits into a wide variety of teams because his Burst combines two valuable functions—ATK buffing and healing—in a single character slot.
He is particularly useful for ATK-scaling damage dealers, while his Pyro element also makes it easy to activate Pyro Resonance when paired with another Pyro character. Teams built around characters such as Mavuika, Arlecchino, and Xiangling can therefore take advantage of several parts of Bennett’s kit at once.
4. Main Stats / Substats
Sands: Energy Recharge
Goblet: HP%
Circlet: Healing Bonus / HP%
Priority: Energy Recharge → HP% → HP
Bennett’s most important requirement is having enough Energy Recharge to use his Elemental Burst consistently. Once his Energy needs are comfortable, additional HP and Healing Bonus can improve the healing provided by his Burst.
If you prefer more personal damage, Bennett can instead use a Pyro DMG Bonus Goblet and CRIT Circlet. However, these offensive artifact stats do not increase the ATK buff granted to his teammates.
5. Playstyle
Use Bennett’s Elemental Skill to generate Pyro particles and help recharge his Burst, then activate his Elemental Burst before switching to your main damage dealer.
His Burst creates an Inspiration Field that heals characters standing inside it and provides an ATK Bonus based on Bennett’s Base ATK. This is why maintaining reliable Burst uptime is generally more important than stacking additional ATK% on his artifacts.
Bennett usually requires very little field time, making him easy to insert into a team rotation: use his Skill when Energy is needed, activate his Burst, and then switch to the character who will take advantage of the buff.
6. F2P
Bennett is extremely F2P-friendly because his core support value does not depend on owning a limited 5-star weapon.
Sapwood Blade is a strong accessible choice, providing Energy Recharge while retaining good Base ATK for Bennett’s buff. Favonius Sword can also help when Bennett or the rest of the team has particularly demanding Energy requirements, although its lower Base ATK means Bennett provides a smaller ATK buff.
F2P players should prioritize enough Energy Recharge to use Bennett’s Burst consistently, then improve his weapon level and Burst talent. Expensive offensive stats are much less important for a pure support build.
*StoryBillion Tip: Bennett’s ATK buff does not increase when you stack ATK% artifacts on him. It uses his Base ATK, so leveling Bennett and using a high-Base-ATK weapon are what improve the buff. Your artifacts can instead focus on Energy Recharge and survivability to keep his Burst available consistently.
