Best Bennett Build
Bennett’s best weapon is Mistsplitter Reforged as a support unit. This weapon brings exceptional benefits, making it ideal for enhancing his abilities. Additionally, his go-to artifact set is Noblesse Oblige, which boosts his support capabilities by enhancing attack power for the entire team after using his elemental burst.
When building Bennett, focus on items that increase his energy recharge, maximize healing with HP%, and improve his elemental mastery for effective reactions. If you're unsure about how much energy recharge your Bennett requires, consider utilizing Zakharov’s energy recharge calculator.
How to Use Bennett
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.
Bennett doesn’t require much field time and is incredibly versatile. He doesn’t rely on any specific characters to perform well, and he has an extensive list of artifacts and weapons to choose from. He delivers consistent damage and healing and is very easy to play!
Best Weapons for Bennett
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.
Best Artifacts for Bennett
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.
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.
Best Team Compositions
As arguably the best healer in the game, Bennett can fit into practically any team comp. He’s an invaluable asset to any team so if you follow our guide and build him well, try him out in your favorite team and see how he fares!
