Genshin Impact Bennet Guide: Best Builds

Contents

In Genshin Impact Bennett is a wonderful 4 star character support, which belongs to the Pyro class and uses a one-handed sword in battle. Thanks to his unique abilities, he can complement almost any team. In this guide, we'll cover his best builds, weapons, and artifacts.

Bennett's abilities and traits

Given the characteristics of this guy, he can prove himself well in battles with bosses, but this Achievement: Hero shows himself best when he is supporting the squad. Its main advantages include:

The presence of a chargeable elemental skill, that is, when the skill button is held for a long time, its effect becomes even stronger.
The elemental explosion increases the attack bonus and restores health points to all heroes in a certain area.
Able to reduce the cooldown of skills.

If we talk about the shortcomings of the character, then only one minus can be found in him - when using the charged ability, the Achievement: Hero flies back a little, which is why he has to constantly dash forward to return to the battlefield.

How to use Bennett

Support the Exciting Adventure Squad

The character's elemental explosion heals him and other party members if their health level is below or equal to 70%. If their life bar is above 70%, then they receive an attack bonus depending on the hero's basic attack.

This ability creates a large time window for your group to deal massive damage to surrounding enemies. At the same time, she heals all the fighters, preventing them from dying. It can also be used during co-op play.

By unlocking the level 1 Talent Grand Expectation, you can increase the attack power of characters with Thrilling Adventure even if their HP is below 70%.

Don't use the elemental skill near the cliff

The elemental skill "Passion Overload" is a powerful ability that has one huge drawback. After reaching level 2 of charge, she knocks Bennet back when used. Therefore, we do not recommend using it while standing with your back to the cliff, otherwise you can accidentally fall into the abyss.

However, this effect is canceled if the skill is used within the area of effect of the circle of inspiration created by the elemental explosion.

Useful for expeditions

Bennett's It Should Be Safe passive talent will reduce the time spent on expeditions in Mondstadt by 25%.

This will allow you to complete the expedition faster and collect more materials in a certain period of time. Therefore, we recommend that you send him to such tasks as often as possible.

Passive skills and talents

If we talk about the passives that open during the hero's ascension, then they look like this:

Rekindle - Reduces the cooldown of Excessive Aspirations by 20%.
Fearnaught - When Bennett is in the area of an elemental explosion, Excessive Aspirations have their cooldown reduced by 50%. In addition, the character is no longer thrown back when using the 2nd level of charge.
It Should Be Safe - 25% faster expeditions in Mondstadt.

Talents are unlocked through "character luck", which is awarded upon obtaining copies of a fighter. Below is a list of Bennett's constellations:

Grand Expectation - Elemental Explosion increases the attack power of characters, regardless of their health, and becomes 20% more powerful.
Impasse Conqueror - Increases the rate of energy regeneration by 30% when the hero's health bar falls below 70%.
Unstoppable Fervor - Increases Excessive Desire by 3.
Unexpected Odyssey - When using a Standard Attack as part of the second hit of the tier 1 charge of Excessive Aspirations
the Achievement: Hero deals additional damage, which is equal to 135% of the damage of the second attack.
True Explorer - Increases the level of Thrilling Adventure by 3.
Fire Ventures With Me - Active characters within the area of effect of Thrilling Adventure and equipped with a melee weapon have their Pyro damage increased by 15%. Their armament also receives a Pyro infusion.
