Genshin Impact Bennett build

Genshin Impact’s Bennett is an accident-prone yet adorable adventurer from Mondstadt, and currently the sole member of ‘Benny’s Adventure Team’, as the previous members all left after experiencing the constant misfortune that seems to follow him. Luckily, it looks like there are plenty of new applicants considering just how valuable Benny is in battle, and, in this Genshin Bennett build guide, we intend on showing you why, along with how to make best use of this plucky pyro wielder.

We can also help out with other characters, so head over to our Genshin Impact’s Wanderer, Genshin Impact’s Kaeya, and Genshin Impact’s Xingqiu guides for suitable character builds. If you’re a bit low on primogems, we even have a handy Genshin Impact codes list so you can line your wallets with some extra currency and use to pull on the Genshin Impact next banner for the top characters on our Genshin Impact tier list.

What’s the best Genshin Impact Bennett build?

Bennett is easily one of the most sought-after support units in the game, capable of not only healing his allies, but also offering substantial attack buffs and generating a decent amount of particles. As such, most top teams revolve around having a well-built Bennett, and many five-star damage dealers fight over who gets him on their team. Looks like Bennett’s adventure team has more than enough members these days!

To sing more of his praises, he doesn’t require much field time, his attack boost is unrivaled in the game, he’s versatile and universal, he doesn’t rely on any specific characters to perform well, and he has an extremely accessible roster of artifacts and weapons to choose from. He has noteworthy pyro application, is capable of near-constant damage dealing and healing, and is very easy to play.

He has very few downsides outside of his lack of AoE outside of his elemental burst, and the fact that his burst field is relatively restrictive – you want to stay inside that sucker as much as possible, which can be tricky with large groups unless you’ve got someone on the team with grouping capabilities. Also, choosing to upgrade to C6 is not always the best idea depending on how you intend to use him, as its pyro infusion can disrupt elemental interactions in certain teams.

However, regardless of his very small flaws, Bennett is honestly invaluable. Every player deserves a well-built Benny on their team, and that’s what we’re going to help you with today.

What are the best Genshin Impact Bennett weapons?

In his intended support role, the best weapon for Bennett is Mistsplitter, due to its high base attack. It also offers some nice crit if you’re hoping for Benny to dish out some damage when he’s on the field. Freedom Sworn is also a great choice as its buffs stack with Benny’s burst, adding to your overall team damage.

If you’re looking for an option to help an energy-hungry build, or you’re hoping to minimize Bennett’s field time, Skyward Blade is a good option with decent base attack, and likely one of the more accessible five-star weapons for F2P players.

When it comes to four-star options, The Alley Flash has the highest base attack and is a good budget option for maximizing Benny’s attack buff. Alternatively, Prototype Rancour is also a high base attack and is very F2P friendly, though you’ll need to make up Bennett’s energy recharge with his artifacts.

Weapon	Effect	How to obtain
Mistsplitter Reforged	Bonus stat: crit damage Skill: Gain a 12% elemental damage bonus for all elements and receive the might of the Mistsplitter’s Emblem. At stack levels one/two/three, Mistsplitter’s Emblem provides a 8/16/28% elemental damage bonus for the character’s elemental type. Bennett obtains one stack of Mistsplitter’s Emblem in each of the following scenarios: normal attack deals elemental damage (stack lasts five seconds), casting elemental burst (stack lasts ten seconds); energy is less than 100% (stack disappears when energy is full). Each stack’s duration is calculated independently	Weapon event gacha
Freedom-Sworn	Bonus stat: elemental mastery Skill: A part of the “Millennial Movement” that wanders amidst the winds. Increases damage by 10%. When Bennett triggers elemental reactions, he gains a Sigil of Rebellion. This effect can trigger once every 0.5 seconds and can trigger even if Bennett is not on the field. When you possess two Sigils of Rebellion, consume all of them and all nearby party members obtain “Millennial Movement: Song of Resistance” for 12 seconds. “Millennial Movement: Song of Resistance” increases normal, charged, and plunging attack damage by 16% and increases attack by 20%. Once this effect triggers, you will not gain Sigils of Rebellion for 20 seconds. Of the many effects of the “Millennial Movement,” buffs of the same type will not stack	Weapon event gacha
Skyward Blade	Bonus stat: energy recharge Skill: Crit rate increased by 4%. Gains Skypiercing Might upon using an elemental burst: Increases movement speed by 10%, increases attack speed by 10%, and normal and charged hits deal additional damage equal to 20% of Bennett’s attack. Skypiercing Might lasts for 12 seconds	Gacha
The Alley Flash	Bonus stat: elemental mastery Skill: Increases Bennett’s damage dealt by 12%. Taking damage disables this effect for five seconds	Weapon event gacha
Prototype Rancour	Bonus stat: physical damage Skill: On hit, normal or charged attacks increase attack and defense by 4% for six seconds. Max four stacks and the effect can only occur once every 0.3 seconds	Forging

What are the best Genshin Impact Bennett artifacts?

Noblesse Oblige is Bennett’s go-to support set, boosting Bennett’s buffing capabilities by providing an additional team-wide attack boost when he uses his burst. There’s very little reason to farm for anything else.

However, if you already have a character on the team with a full set of Noblesse Oblige, you can go with a four-piece set of Instructor, which also gives a team-wide buff that increases everyone’s elemental mastery. However, this buff can be difficult to activate depending on your team rotation, so we generally recommend sticking with NO where possible.

Artifact set	Effect	How to obtain
Noblesse Oblige	Two equipped: elemental burst damage +20% Four equipped: increases all party members’ attack by 20% for 12 seconds after using an elemental burst. This effect cannot stack	Clear Pool and Mountain Cavern domain in Minlin, Mt. Aozang, Liyue, or from the Noblesse Oblige Artifact Strongbox
Instructor	Two equipped: elemental mastery +80 Four equipped: upon triggering an elemental reaction, increases all party members’ elemental mastery by 120 for eight seconds	Chests, domains, enemy drops, quest rewards

Artifact stat recommendations

When it comes to stats, stacking attack won’t increase his buff as it relies on his flat attack (i.e. Bennett’s base attack + his sword). Instead, you should focus on increasing his HP through main stats to maximize his healing, and increase his energy recharge through sub-stats until he can comfortably burst off cooldown in your chosen team.

If you’re struggling to hit energy recharge requirements through sub-stats, you can give him an energy recharge goblet instead of HP.

Main stats:

Sands: energy recharge (if you’re struggling to hit requirements), or HP%
Goblet: HP%
Circlet: HP%

Sub-stats:

Energy recharge (prioritize until you hit requirements)
HP% > flat HP
Elemental mastery (in reaction teams)
Crit rate/crit damage (for personal damage)
