◯ = Stat gains +4 with a superboon, ✕= Stat goes down by -4 with a superbane, - = No assets or flaws
| See the IV Checker for All Units | Trait Fruits—How to Change IVs |
When using an Ascendant Floret, we recommend getting the next superboon if it fits the hero. If not, consider what stat your hero needs most.
+Def/-Spd
We recommend a +Def/-Spd IV for Benny. His Def is a superboon and his main role is to soak damage for his allies. A +Res boon is also acceptable if you anticipate receiving mixed damage. His Spd is beyond salvageable, thus it is safe to take as a bane.
+Def for a +10 Merge
We recommend taking +Def as your boon of choice when building a +10 merged Benny. Further increasing his Def plays to his strengths and keeps him healthy throughout multiple engagements.

How to Use, Explanation
Benny requires significant investment to be viable in today's metagame. Equipping him with modern Savior tank skills allows him to hold his own; however, he will still be outclassed by top tier units.
Benny Best Weapon Refine
Effect of Benny's Refined Weapon
| Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type) | |
|---|---|
| SP: 400 | |
| Might: 16 Range: 1 HP: 3 For foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit, inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-5, reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special "reduce damage by X%" skills by 50% (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 on foe per attack during combat (only highest value applied; does not stack). If foe initiates combat or foe's HP ≥ 75% at start of combat, neutralizes penalties on unit during combat. If foe initiates combat or foe's HP ≥ 75% at start of combat, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit, unit deals damage = 20% of unit's Def (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and reduces damage from foe's attacks by 20% of unit's Def during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials).  ：500  ：200 |

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Soulful Lance if Benny is among your favorites
Refined Soulful Lance inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-5 on foes within 3 rows and 3 columns centered on Benny, cuts their percentage-based damage reduction effects in half and applies a Guard effect onto those foes. This supportive effect reaches quite far and can be easily applied by positioning your allies within its range.
In combat, refined Soulful Lance neutralizes Benny's stat penalties, grants Benny Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 and bonus true damage and true damage reduction equal to 20% of his Def.
While refined Soulful Lance isn't as powerful as other exclusive weapons, it makes Benny hold his own in battle. However, Benny still won't be as powerful as the common metagame units. Only consider refining this weapon if Benny is among your favorites.

Benny Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses
Benny Roles
Benny is a close physical attacker (range = 1). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage he deals will be equivalent to his Atk minus the foe's Def stat.
Benny Strengths
Soulful Lance cuts enemy damage reduction and applies Guard from a distance
Refined Soulful Lance inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-5 on foes within 3 rows and 3 columns centered on Benny, cuts their percentage-based damage reduction effects in half and applies a Guard effect onto those foes. This supportive effect reaches quite far and can be easily applied by positioning your allies within its range.
In combat, refined Soulful Lance neutralizes Benny's stat penalties, grants Benny Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 and bonus true damage and true damage reduction equal to 20% of his Def.
While refined Soulful Lance isn't as powerful as other exclusive weapons, it makes Benny hold his own in battle. However, Benny still won't be as powerful as the common metagame units unless he has more investment over them.
Benny Weaknesses
Requires Significant Investment
Refined Soulful Lance isn't as powerful as other exclusive weapons, leaving Benny behind all the other commonly used tanks in the current metagame.
He will require significant investment to be viable. Consider only using Benny if he is among your favorites.
Weak to Armor Effective Weapons
Benny takes 1.5x damage from armor-effective weapons like Randgríðr, and one blow from this type of weapon will deal significant damage. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!
Should you Unlock Potential?
| Should You Unlock Potential for this Hero? |
|

We Recommend Unlocking Potential for Benny - Sensitive Soul!
We recommend that you use Unlock Potential to bring Benny - Sensitive Soul from 4 Stars to 5 Stars. Benny - Sensitive Soul is very useful as a lance armored tank, so you may find using Unlock Potential on Benny - Sensitive Soul helpful if your team lacks a party member with this role.
