Bennett Guide and Best Builds for Genshin Impact

Building Bennett purely as a support simply means focusing entirely on his healing and damage-increasing capabilities. Therefore, making him much easier to build but losing some of his personal damage.

BiS Weapon	Mistsplitter Reforged
Alternate Weapons	Aquila Favonia Freedom-Sworn The Alley Flash Skyward Blade Sapwood Blade
Best Artifacts	Noblesse Oblige
Main Stats	Sand Stats: Energy Recharge Goblet Stats: HP % Circlet Stats: HP % / Healing Bonus
Substat Priority	Energy Recharge HP % HP
Talent Priority	Elemental Burst Elemental Skill Normal Attack (not needed)

Due to Bennetts' skill and burst scaling, HP and Energy Recharge are all that is needed. ER to make his burst occur frequently and HP for healing. Bennett's damage buff from Fantastic Voyage scales entirely off of his base attack and the base attack of his weapon. Therefore, any weapon with a high base attack is valuable.

Additionally, you can change your sands to have an HP % main stat instead of Energy Recharge if you feel you have no energy issues. In terms of Talent Priority, Normal Attacks are not needed and can be ignored.

Unlike Pure Support Bennett, Burst Support instead removes any potential excess healing to help increase more damage. Therefore Bennett is built with entirely different main stats such as Attack, Pyro DMG and CRIT to increase his DPS.

BiS Weapon	Mistsplitter Reforged
Alternate Weapons	Aquila Favonia Skyward Blade The Alley Flash Freedom-Sworn Sapwood Blade
Best Artifacts	Noblesse Oblige Emblem of Severed Fate
Main Stats	Sand Stats: ATK % / Energy Recharge Goblet Stats: Pyro DMG Circlet Stats: CRIT Rate / DMG
Substat Priority	Energy Recharge to breakpoint CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG ATK %
Talent Priority	Elemental Burst Elemental Skill Normal Attack

Depending on substat RNG, Energy Recharge may be needed as the main stat of your Sands piece until you farm additional artifacts. Compared to the first build this build will have less healing in exchange for personal damage.

The exact amount of Energy Recharge depends on your party composition, any weapons that generate Energy Recharge as well as how often you use Passion Overload between Bursts. With 2 Pyro characters in your party you will often want around 150-200%, with just Bennett you want around 250%.

Bennett is an incredibly easy character to play, simply tap his Elemental Skill, Passion Overload, to gain energy and then set his Elemental Burst to buff and heal your party. Passion Overload is also great to break Cryo shields due to its low cooldown.

You do need to consider the placement of his Elemental Burst, Fantastic Voyage. Once placed, the effects of Fantastic Voyage will only apply while inside of the AoE. Depending on your Energy Recharge, you may need to use Passion Overload 2+ times per rotation.

Due to how versatile Bennett is, it often becomes a question of what team compositions does he not fit into especially because he fits the role of both a healer and a buffer. Nevertheless listed below are a few of the most popular examples using Bennett.

Main DPS	Sub DPS	Sub DPS	Support
Raiden Shogun	Xingqiu	Xiangling	Bennett
Tartaglia	Sucrose	Xiangling	Bennett

The National team is a popular team composition involving Xingqiu, Xiangling, Bennett and a Main DPS in the flex position. While there are a range of variants, the above 2 using Raiden Shogun and Childe are generally the strongest. With Raiden Shogun's team commonly being referred to as National, and Childe's team being referred to as International and uses Sucrose instead of Xingqiu.

Bennett is incredibly useful here due to providing Pyro resonance for Xiangling as well as increasing the damage for each character. Paired with Xingqiu they easily provide enough healing for the party.

Ganyu	Xiangling	Bennett	Zhongli

Many of Ganyu's compositions react with Pyro to create a Melt reaction, Bennett therefore helps by providing Pyro application alongside Xiangling as well as damage buffs from Resonance and Fantastic Voyage.
