Bennett has been recognized as one of the best support characters in Genshin Impact. With the ability to heal and boost teammates' attacks, Bennett can be deployed to almost every party.

He is considered to be the unluckiest person in the Adventurers Guild, resulting in him being alone on his adventure team. After running into some bad circumstances while exploring with Bennett, the others in his team decided to jump ship.

Bennett, fortunately, is able to pick himself up and adjust to his misfortune. His bad luck is also one of the reasons why fans adore him.

Here are the best artifacts, weapons, and talent priorities for Bennett in Genshin Impact that players can use.

Bennett's main advantage is how his Elemental Burst can buff and heal teammates in the AoE. In addition, his Elemental Skill (tap) has a very short cooldown and can be used to break Cryo and Electro shields.


The best artifact set for Bennett in Genshin Impact

The 4-piece Noblesse Oblige is undoubtedly the best artifact for Bennett; it is practically built for him. Both 2-piece and 4-piece have strong bonuses, providing 20% Elemental Burst damage for Bennett and 20% Attack for party members.

For the main stats, players can go either for full healing support such as HP/HP/Healing Bonus or support DPS with Energy Recharge/Pyro Damage/Crit. While for the sub stats, Energy Recharge is what many should pay attention to.


The best weapon for Bennett in Genshin Impact

1) Skyward Blade

For the 5-star arsenal, Skyward Blade is the best weapon for Bennett. Although the sword has a lower base attack than Aquila Favonia, it has a high Energy Recharge for its secondary stats.


2) Sapwood Blade

One of the Sumeru craftable 4-star weapons, Sapwood Blade is an excellent option for Bennet as it provides a high base and Energy Recharge. It is also an option that is suitable for most F2P players as they can easily get this sword to R5 with Billets.


3) Mistsplitter Reforged

This is one of the premium options for Bennett in Genshin Impact, due to the fact that Mistsplitter Reforged is a 5-star sword that can only obtained from the Epitome Invocation weapons banner.


4) Aquila Favonia

Aquila Favonia is another excellent 5-star sword for this character. It has the highest base attack and is generally better than Skyward Blade if the player's Bennett already has a high Energy Recharge.


5) The Alley Flash

The Alley Flash is a 4-star sword that has the highest base attack. It is great for Sub-DPS Bennett and may even outperform other weapons. However, one can only obtain this sword by wishing from the weapon banner.


6) Festering Desire

Festering Desire is an event-limited weapon, so new players may not have it. This sword has a decent base attack and possesses energy recharge for its sub-stats.


7) Prototype Rancour

Prototype Rancour is a F2P weapon that players can create on the crafting bench. Although this sword may have useless passive skills for Bennett, it has the second-highest base attack among other 4-star swords.


8) Favonius Sword

Favonius Sword has a lower base attack compared to other 4-star weapons, but the high energy recharge and passive skill make up for those deficiencies. However, one should equip this weapon only when Bennet has a Crit Rate of at least above 50.


Talent priority for Bennett in Genshin Impact

The best part of Bennett's skill is his Elemental Burst, which can heal and provide an attack bonus for party members on the field. Next is his Elemental Skill, where players are recommended to tap rather than charge as it has a significantly lower cooldown.

Then comes Bennett's Normal Attack, which some players rarely use if they run him as a support character.


Players may have noticed him in Spiral Abyss as one of the strongest support characters in Genshin Impact. For the latest rotation of the abyss, Bennett was placed as the second most used character, defeating Zhongli and Raiden Shogun.
