Ben Bigger is an A-Rank Fire Defense Agent who does a bit of everything. He converts up to 80% of his initial DEF into ATK, blocks and counters attacks, and his EX Special follow-up shields the whole squad. With a Fire or Belobog teammate, that Shield also grants +16% CRIT Rate. Prydwen plays him as a damage dealer (T3), Game8 as a shield support (Tier 3); either way he's a niche pick today, at his best next to Orphie or Koleda.

Game8's take on Ben. His Shield alone matters less than the +16% CRIT Rate it carries, so keep a Fire or Belobog teammate.
Teams
Recommended teams
Orphie & Dialyn
Prydwen's best Ben team: Orphie is Fire (Additional Ability) and deals as much damage as Ben, while Dialyn's Ultimate conversion suits his Ultimate-heavy damage. Bangboo: Rocketboo (2+ Fire Agents).
Mono-Fire: Koleda & Soldier 11
Game8's mono-Fire team, with Ben as shield support: Koleda gets her combined attacks with Ben and every Additional Ability is active. Bangboo: Rocketboo, or Safety (2+ Belobog Agents).
Guide
How to play
Core Passive: Guardian
- Ben gains 80% of his initial DEF as ATK (at max level), so DEF is never a wasted stat on him.
- His EX Special (Cashflow Counter) costs Energy to raise his guard; pressing Special again launches a powerful follow-up strike (more Energy) that gives the whole squad a Shield of 30% of his DEF + 550 for 30s.
- Additional Ability (a teammate sharing his Fire attribute or the Belobog Heavy Industries faction): characters protected by that Shield get +16% CRIT Rate.
Blocking
- Special and EX Special put him in a blocking stance (brief invulnerability, then a decaying Shield). If an enemy hits him during it, he triggers a much stronger Block Counter, and the EX follow-up gets upgraded too.
- His Ultimate hits hard and restores 3 Assist Points.
As a damage dealer
- Build Energy with Basic Attacks and Dodge Counters (Special Block Counters generate none), and swap out during his slow 3rd Basic hit.
- A Block Counter from his EX Special can go straight into Basic 2, skipping the slow opener.
- Enter each Stun with enough Energy for two full EX Specials, and Chain before the Ultimate. Don't end Chain sequences on Ben: his Chain Attack knocks enemies far away.
With Koleda, some of her attacks are upgraded into combined moves with Ben: the reason he's still her classic partner.
Strengths
- A sizeable squad-wide Shield from his EX Special combo.
- +16% CRIT Rate for shielded allies in Fire or Belobog teams, a rare buff for a Defense Agent.
- Unlocks enhanced combined attacks for Koleda.
- Flexible: damage dealer, shielder or backup Daze.
Weaknesses
- By far the slowest movement speed in the game, which makes him clunky on-field.
- Lower Impact than real Stunners and no Daze bonuses in his kit.
- Only a handful of teams make good use of him.
