Bennett
Trial by Fire
The unluckiest adventurer in Mondstadt is still one of the best supports in the game, six years later. His Burst drops a field that heals whoever is below 70% HP and gives a huge flat ATK bonus based on his Base ATK. Cheap to build, fast to play and useful in almost any ATK-scaling team, he remains a staple of Mavuika, Varka and Pyro teams in version 7.1.

Main stats
Substat priority
Stat targets
- Energy Recharge 270–300% as the only Pyro, 180–230% with a second Pyro, 160–180% with three
- About −20% ER needed per Favonius proc in the team
- HP% and Healing Bonus once ER is met; CRIT Rate only with Favonius Sword
Talent priority
Only his Burst level matters: it raises both the ATK ratio (about 101% of Base ATK at level 10, 119% at 13) and the healing. His own ATK stat is irrelevant, so never sacrifice Energy Recharge for ATK%.
Recommended teams
Mavuika Melt
Mavuika's best Melt team: Bennett stacks his flat ATK on top of Iansan's and Citlali shreds RES while applying Cryo.
Varka Pyro Swirl
Bennett gives Pyro resonance and ATK to Varka's Swirls. Nicole (flat ATK plus a sturdy shield) is the stronger premium pick; Bennett is the free alternative.
How to play
How he works
- Fantastic Voyage (Burst, 60 Energy) creates an Inspiration Field for 12s. Every second it checks the active character: below 70% HP they are healed (scaling with Bennett's Max HP), above 70% they gain flat ATK equal to a percentage of Bennett's Base ATK (character + weapon, artifacts do not count). The field also applies Pyro to the active character.
- The ATK bonus lasts about 2s after each tick, so it lingers briefly when you leave the field, and it can snapshot on abilities that keep the stats of their cast (Xiangling's Pyronado, for example).
- Passion Overload (Skill) is a quick Pyro hit that generates particles. His passives cut its cooldown by 20%, then by 50% inside his field, so he can recast it to battery a teammate.
Rotation
- Tap E for particles, then Q.
- Swap to your main DPS and fight inside the field.
- In Energy-hungry teams, cast Q first and use E two or three times inside the field to feed Energy to the next character.
Keep your carry inside the circle: the buff is refreshed every second only while they stand in it.
Strengths
- One of the largest flat ATK buffs in the game, available to everyone as a 4-star
- Strong emergency healing on top of the buff
- Very short field time and a fast, reliable particle battery
- Only needs Energy Recharge and Burst levels: artifacts barely matter
Weaknesses
- High Energy Recharge needs, especially as the only Pyro unit
- The buff only works inside a fixed circle
- His self-applied Pyro can trigger unwanted reactions on your active character
- C6 Pyro infusion is a trap for Cryo and Physical melee carries
Notable dupes · Constellation
Removes the 70% HP condition from the ATK buff and adds 20% of his Base ATK: by far his most important constellation.
+3 Burst levels, a buff increase comparable to C1.
+15% Pyro DMG and Pyro infusion for melee characters in the field: great for Pyro carries or C6 Razor Overloaded, harmful for Cryo or Physical carries.
