Bennett's Stats

Bennett's Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths
• One of the best ATK buffers in the game that also provides fast healing and energy at a low cost. • Can accumulate large amounts of energy with his low-cooldown Elemental Skill, making his Elemental Burst spammable. • Can easily apply Pyro to set-up reactions. The burst also provides a field of Pyro that can be used for applying reactions in Sunfire builds or Kazuha's swirl.
Weaknesses
• Fully charged Elemental Skill outside of Burst field causes knockback.

ATK increase is based on Bennett's Base ATK

To preface, Bennett's ATK power increase from his Burst is based on his Total Base ATK (white number), which can be found inside the Stat Details. This is calculated by the sum of his Base Stats plus his weapon's Base ATK. This means that your artifact stats won't affect the buffs of your burst!

The only ways to increase his ATK buff are by equipping a weapon with a higher Base ATK, and levelling Bennett himself.

Pyro Burst DPS Support

Best Weapon	Mistsplitter Reforged
Replacement Weapons	1. Aquila Favonia 2. The Alley Flash 3. Skyward Blade 4. Freedom-Sworn
Best Artifacts	Noblesse Oblige x4
Artifact Main Stats	Sands: Energy Recharge or ATK%
	Goblet: Pyro DMG Bonus
	Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
Artifact Sub Stats	Energy Recharge, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, ATK%, HP%

This build allows Bennett to not only buff the party's ATK, but will also deal above average Pyro DMG and reactions. Bennett's healing is still very effective in this build despite the lack of HP or Healing Bonus.

Aim for weapons that have the highest Base ATK to make use of his ATK buffs to the fullest, then focus on Energy Recharge before moving to the offensive stats.

Pyro Healer Support

Best Weapon	Skyward Blade
Replacement Weapons	1. Favonius Sword 2. Sapwood Blade 3. Fleuve Cendre Ferryman 4. Festering Desire
Best Artifacts	Noblesse Oblige x4
Artifact Main Stats	Sands: HP% or Energy Recharge
	Goblet: HP%
	Circlet: Healing Bonus or HP%
Artifact Sub Stats	Energy Recharge, HP%

This Bennett build specializes in pure and effective healing to keep your party alive by building Energy Recharge swords and HP sub stats. Be sure to have his Base ATK really high to have a better ATK buff by levelling both him and his weapon to max.

Bennett Best Team Comp

Bennett is almost universal to most team comps that have an ATK-scaling DPS. Here are some of the best teams where Bennett is mostly a must have:

Bennett-Xiangling Duo Teams

Support	Sub DPS	Main DPS	Sub DPS
Bennett	Xiangling	Tartaglia	Kazuha
Bennett	Xiangling	Raiden	Xingqiu
Bennett	Xiangling	Lyney	Kazuha
Bennett	Xiangling	Ganyu	Zhongli

Bennett and Xiangling are two core duos that are almost inseperable when speaking of Pyro-focused team comps. Any teams that rely on fast Pyro Application and great off-field damage can make use of their synergy, as well as Bennett's energy and ATK buffs.

Other team comps involving these two are with Ayato's Vaporize, Navia Geo + Pyro, and Wriothesley Melt.

Bennett Buffing Teams

Support/ Sub DPS	Main DPS	Sub DPS	Support/ Sub DPS
Bennett	Yoimiya	Xingqiu	Yun Jin
Bennett	Wanderer	Zhongli	Faruzan
Bennett	Xiao	Jean	Faruzan

Any standard team comps which requires a buffer and healer support can find it in one character, Bennett! As he can fulfill both roles at once, you may opt on taking out other defensive Supports for other Sub-DPS characters.

Bennett Burn-Melt Team Comps

Support	Main DPS	Sub DPS	Sub DPS
Bennett	Ganyu	Nahida	Kazuha
Bennett	Wriothesley	Nahida	Thoma

Bennett with an off-field Dendro character and someone who can contiuously swirl it like Kazuha can keep up the Pyro aura needed for a Cryo character to do Melt. Ganyu and Wriothesley are one of the best Main DPSes to pair with him for this reaction!

Bennett Sunfire Team Comps

Support	Main DPS	Sub DPS	Sub DPS
Bennett	Raiden	Jean	Xingqiu
Bennett	Yelan	Jean	Fischl

Commonly coined with Jean, Bennett's field applies Pyro to to the active character, which Jean can rapidly swirl if you're standing on both his and her Elemental Bursts. If she's built with Elemental Mastery and Viridescent Venerer, you may see sparks fly!

Characters with them may vary, but ultimately, this effect applies fast Pyro, so any team comps involving Melt, Vaporize, Overloaded, and Swirl are good for these duo.

Bennett Best Constellations

Rota Calamitas

Constellation and Effects

	Bennett's Constellations
C1	Grand Expectation Fantastic Voyage's ATK increase no longer has an HP restriction, and gains an additional 20% Base ATK.
C2	Impasse Conqueror When Bennett's HP falls below 70%, his Energy Recharge is increased by 30%.
C3	Unstoppable Fervor Increases the Level of Passion Overload by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C4	Unexpected Odyssey Using Normal Attack when executing the second attack of Passion Overload's Charge Level 1 allows an additional attack to be performed. This additional attack does 135% of the second attack's DMG.
C5	True Explorer Increases the Level of Fantastic Voyage by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C6	Fire Ventures with Me Sword, Claymore, or Polearm-wielding characters inside Fantastic Voyage's radius gain a 15% Pyro DMG Bonus and their weapons are infused with Pyro.

Best Constellations Rating and Explanation

	Rating	Constellation Effect / Merits
C1	★★★	• Fantastic Voyage's ATK increase no longer has an HP restriction, and gains an additional 20% Base ATK.

C6 Not Recommended for Characters with Infusion

Be wary when activating Bennett's C6 Constellation, as it will convert melee characters' attacks into Pyro inside Bennett's Burst. This can be disadvantageous for Elemental or Physical characters like Ayaka or Eula, who rely on their own Element to deal DMG.

How to Use Bennett

Support the Party with Elemental Burst

Bennett's Elemental Burst, Fantastic Voyage, gives the characters inside its radius an ATK bonus based on his base ATK. On top of this, this circle will heal the active character. Note that one instance of heal will tick up until 70% HP or above.

Fantastic Voyage is a powerful Elemental Burst that makes Bennett a must in most team compositions and rotations!

Upon unlocking Constellation Lv. 1, Grand Expectation, Fantastic Voyage's ATK boost will no longer have the 70% HP restriction.

Look out behind you when using the Elemental Skill

Knockback from Passion Overload: Level 2

Bennett's Elemental Skill, Passion Overload, is a spammable ability but has a huge drawback. After fully charging the skill, Bennett will get knocked backwards, which can have painful consequences.

The effect, however, is negated when done within the AoE created from Fantastic Voyage.

C4 Adds an Additional Attack

Passion Overload: Level 1 C0 and C4 Difference

Bennett can do an additional attack during a level 1 charged Elemental Skill by pressing the normal attack button. This attack does an additional 135% damage from his attack value and is only unlocked after reaching his fourth constellation.

Thoughts About Bennett

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Amber	Hmm? Bennett... I feel like I've heard that name before... Oh! Yes, he's that hot-blooded guy from the Adventurers' Guild, right! I tend to come across him way out in the wild from time to time, he seems to really love treasure hunting.
Barbara	Bennett always comes to the cathedral covered in scrapes and bruises... Though it clearly never bothers him a bit, given the big grin he always has on his face. He really should take better care of himself.
Fischl	Fischl: Ah, the ill-starred young man... My Auge der Verurteilung has seen with unmistakable clarity how his heart ails at being forsaken by the world— Oz: Someone needs to keep an eye on the unlucky fellow." with "Bennett aways comes to the cathedral covered in scrapes and bruises... Though it clearly never bothers him a bit, given the big grin he always has on his face. He really should take better care of himself."
Klee	Bennett is the best! I always find way more treasure if I go adventuring with Bennett! ...But he never finds any. Why is that, anyway?
Noelle	He's asked me to join the Adventurer's Guild more than a few times, saying that life there would suit me better than with the Knight's of Favonius. While I could help him take care of his "dads" like the other adventurers... the Knights hold a special meaning for me, and I'm not ready to give up on becoming one yet. No, I simply cannot accept this offer.
Razor	Bennett... Much talking. Eat with him, never full.

Bennett's Thoughts About Others

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Amber	About Amber Oh, I know who you mean. The girl who's always charging around all over the place. She's always off adventuring in the wild, just like me... But if you ever see her near a cooking pot, you'll soon find a cloud of thick black smoke blowing in your direction, followed by the smell of burnt steak... Huh, maybe she was born unlucky too?
Barbara	About Barbara She's the best singer and dancer out there! I always go to watch her in concert after and adventure goes south - it really lifts my mood, chanting along with all the other fans, cheering her on. It's really kinda magical! It's no wonder she's so popular... Boy, if I had even half her popularity as leader of my adventure team...
Fischl	About Fischl Oh yeah, the Prinzessin der Verurteilung from the world beyond! She's amazing. I keep asking her if we can go adventuring in her home world together, but each time I bring it up she sort of avoids the topic... She's probably just worried about my safety. Her home world sounds like a dangerous place, for sure.
Jean	About Jean I keep meaning to ask Master Jean for some help with the Mondstadt Adventurers' Guild, but I don't know how to go about it. The Guild doesn't have as many rules and regulations as the Knights of Favonius, the dads and I are pretty laid back about everything. Pretty sure that attitude wouldn't fly with Jean though... I guess I should read up on the Knights' etiquette or something?
Klee	About Klee She's a cute kid... but I have to keep my distance. Whenever she plays with me, her bombs always end up going off... It's not so much me I'm worried about, it would just be awful if something happened to Klee. The Knights of Favonius would never forgive me, that's for sure.
Noelle	About Noelle Noelle's someone I've been watching for a while. She's really talented, and extremely hardworking. But somehow she's still a maid - the Knights of Favonius still haven't made her a knight. It's a shame, don't you think? Boy, if she switched to the Adventurers' Guild, she'd easily be one of the best there is.
Razor	About Razor Wolvendom guy! Looks a little on the feral side... doesn't talk much... but he's alright! We both love eating meat, so we got that in common. I sometimes cook some meat for him, and he teaches me how wolves communicate in return. Haha! You should join us next time!
Varka	About Varka He's my role model! Talk about team leadersー he's the Grand Master! Leads the whole darn Knights of Favonius! How incredible do you have to be to do that!? Recently, though, I've been thinking that having a smaller Adventure Team isn't such a bad thing after all. I mean, if things got too busy in the team, I'd have no time to look after all my dads in the guild, would I? Yeah... Yeah, things are fine the way they are.
