THE BEST GENSHIN IMPACT BENNETT BUILD

Bennett is the best pyro support character in the game due to his amazing elemental burst skill. We recommend using him in a team with a second pyro character like Genshin Impact’s Klee for pyro elemental resonance, which boosts attack.

Both of the weapons below are suitable for Bennett; however, we recommend the Skyward Blade over Festering Desire.
