Bennett is one of Genshin Impact's strong four-star characters but is best utilized when focusing on his Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst. Below are the Artifacts and weapons that best highlight Bennett's abilities.
Unlike the Pyro characters Klee, Diluc, and Hu Tao who are typically built as DPS, Bennett is more of a Pyro support character. In Genshin Impact, Bennett's ultimate provides a healing bonus, but his fully charged Elemental Skill can be catastrophic depending on location because it launches him backward upon impact. Because of this, Bennett used to be an underrated character, but many Genshin Impact players are recognizing his potential as an S-tier support with the right build.

Updated July 31, 2022, by Nahda Nabiilah: With Genshin Impact growing into more regions, more Artifacts, weapons, and characters are making their way into and outside the Meta. Of course, it’s almost impossible to see Bennett leaving the Meta unless he eats a direct nerf, and knowing HoYoverse, that is not going to happen anytime soon. Instead, Bennett is becoming more viable as a Support. Simply because, as Genshin Impact expands, Bennett’s build is also getting updated with new weapons and Artifacts.
Best Artifacts For Bennett In Genshin Impact
As a buffer, Bennett's strengths rely heavily on his Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst, so players will want to look for items with Energy Recharge as main or substats. As for other jobs, here's the best main stat for each role:
- Timepiece: HP for Healer, Energy Recharge for Buffer, ATK for DPS
- Goblet: HP for Support, Pyro DMG Bonus for DPS
- Circlet: Healing Bonus for Healer, Critical Rate or DMG for DPS
4-Noblesse Oblige For Dedicated Buffer
As far as Artifacts go, the 4-Noblesse Oblige set is the most effective for Bennett. At 2-piece, it increases Elemental Burst Damage by 20%, and at 4-piece, increases the entire party's ATK by 20% for 12 seconds after using Bennett's Elemental Burst. The 2-piece effect of Noblesse is mostly unneeded, but the 4-piece effect is perfect to further enhance the Adventurer as a buffer.
4-Crimson Witch of Flames For DPS
The 4-Crimson Witch of Flames set is suitable for any Pyro user with a Pyro DPS build, and for Bennett, it will help him inflict more damage, especially when triggering Elemental Reactions.
4-Emblem of Severed Fate For Burst Support
As a Burst support, Bennett is meant to deal damage when he casts his Elemental Burst. Therefore, 4-Emblem of Severed Fate is the best option for him. This set's 4-piece effect focuses on maximizing Bennett’s Burst damage while granting him a 25% Energy Recharge on its 2-piece.

4-Thundering Fury For Niche Compositions
Thundering Fury Bennett is a highly niche build that's mostly used to break Electro Abyss Lector's shield in the Genshin Impact Spiral Abyss. With the combination of Bennett's fourth ascension passive and 4-Thundering Fury's effect, the Adventurer will be able to use his Skill every 1s. This allows him to break an Electro shield swiftly.
4-The Exile For Battery
Since Bennett’s healing is superb, players can also build him on 4-The Exile. It’s a lower-tier Artifact than the previously mentioned ones but allows Bennett to shine as a Battery in Genshin Impact.
4-Maiden Beloved For Healer
Bennett likely doesn't need boosts from artifacts for his healing, but for those who want to get as much recovery as possible, then artifacts like 2-Tenacity of the Millelith, 2-Maiden Beloved, 2-Ocean-Hued Clam, and 4-Maiden Beloved are all viable options.
Just remember to not use 4-Ocean-Hued Clam for Bennett in Genshin Impact as it's useless with him.
The Best Weapons For Bennett In Genshin Impact
No matter what Bennett’s Role is, it is crucial to get him a weapon with high Base ATK. Operating as a Support or a Sub-DPS, players will want Bennett to always maximize his and his teammates' damage when standing inside his Elemental Burst. For that, opt for high-Base-ATK swords like Aquila Favonia and Mistsplitter Reforged for 5-star swords in Genshin Impact.
As for the 4-stars, players can aim to get The Alley Flash. Although Bennett won’t use any of the weapon’s Secondary stats and effect, the 620 Base ATK is more than enough to make up for it.
Bennett can also wield Festering Desire for its decent Base ATK and Energy Recharge’s Secondary stats. For people that don’t have Festering Desire and want a F2P choice on Bennett, the best Genshin Impact sword to use in that case is Prototype Rancour or Blackcliff Longsword. These swords have a high Base ATK of 565.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
