7 Best Weapons For Bennet In Genshin Impact (2023)

While many players primarily focus on the hype around 5* characters and weapons, they often overlook some of the most powerful builds you can achieve by making good use of the easy-to-collect 4* characters. Bennet is considered one of the game’s most powerful Support characters, with good reason.

Bennet is a 4* Pyro Sword user whose abilities deal respectable pyro damage to your opponents, allowing for fun Pyro-DPS builds. However, he shines even more with the fantastic Attack boost he provides to your team with his Elemental Burst, which makes him a fantastic Support character both as a buffer and healer.

Let’s look into the best 7 weapons you can use to get the most out of your Bennet in Genshin Impact.

Prototype Rancour 7/7

• Lvl 90 Base ATK: Attack +565 
• Lvl 90 Bonus Stat: Physical Damage Bonus +34.5% 
• On hit, Normal or Charged Attacks increase ATK and DEF by 4% for 6s. Max 4 stacks. This effect can only occur once every 0.3s.

The Prototype Rancour is a craftable 4* sword that most players can access as soon as they reach level 10. The fact that it’s craftable means you can also refine it to the max rank and use it on your Bennet to its maximum potential as a free-to-play player.

The weapon has a reasonably high Base Attack which is helpful for Bennet’s Elemental Burst. Not only this, but it provides a stacking buff to your ATK as long as you constantly hit your opponents. This makes it an excellent tool for a sub-DPS Bennet build focused on dishing out large amounts of physical damage.

The Alley Flash 6/7

• Lvl 90 Base ATK: Attack +620
• Lvl 90 Bonus Stat: Elemental Mastery +55
• Increases DMG dealt by the character equipping this weapon by 12%. Taking DMG dismantles the effect for 5s.

The Alley Flash is a 4* weapon that was available through weapon banners. While the sub-stat may seem underwhelming, the weapon has great potential when paired with Pyro-DPS Bennet.

The Base Attack is exceptionally high, and the Elemental Mastery is sure to help deal more damage despite being a 4* weapon. The weapon skill is also a no-nonsense damage buff as long as you can avoid damage, and it will significantly boost your physical and elemental damage.

Sacrificial Sword 5/7

• Lvl 90 Base ATK: Attack +454
• Lvl 90 Bonus Stat: Energy Recharge Rate +61.3%
• After damaging an opponent with an Elemental Skill, the skill has a 40% chance to end its own CD. Can only occur once every 30s.

The sacrificial sword is an easy-to-obtain 4* weapon that most players will get naturally by making wishes in the game. This means many players will be able to get even more value out of it through refinements.

Bennet builds that focus on Pyro-DPS through his Elemental Skill will be extremely satisfied with the weapon skill. It has an instant cooldown reset chance that will let you spam your hard-hitting Pyro abilities. Not only that, but the Base Attack is also relatively high, and the sub-stat for Energy Recharge rivals even some of the premium 5* weapons.

Favonius Sword 4/7 (Best Free To Play Option)

• Lvl 90 Base ATK: Attack +454
• Lvl 90 Bonus Stat: Energy Recharge +61.3%
• CRIT Hits have a 60% chance to generate a small amount of Elemental Particles, which will regenerate 6 Energy for the character. Can only occur once every 12s.

The Favonious Sword is another fairly easy-to-get 4* weapon that you will probably acquire over the course of regular Wishing in Genshin Impact. Players are often not impressed by this weapon, but it has a multitude of uses, especially for a character like Bennet.

The Energy Recharge from the sub-stat combined with the potent weapon skill allows your Bennet to charge his energy exceptionally quickly. While the base attack is low, this weapon will allow you to immediately use your Elemental Burst as the cooldown ends and have Bennet’s powerful Attack buff indefinitely during the entirety of your combat encounters.

Skyward Blade 3/7

• Lvl 90 Base ATK: Attack +608
• Lvl 90 Bonus Stat: Energy Recharge +55.1%
• CRIT Rate increased by 4%. Gains Skypiercing Might upon using an Elemental Burst: Increases Movement SPD by 10%, increases ATK SPD by 10%, and increases the DMG of Normal and Charged Attack hits by 20% for 12s.

The Skyward Blade is a well-known 5* weapon that has been in the game since its initial launch and still holds up in terms of performance to date. It is an excellent option to use for Bennet if you have been lucky enough to get one.

The weapon has a very high base Attack value and an impressive Energy Recharge sub-stat. This means you can tune your artifacts to give Bennet the maximum Attack to amplify his buffs. Additionally, the weapon skill synergizes very well with his Elemental Burst providing your DPS with both Attack Speed and Move Speed on top of raw Attack buffs.

Aquila Favonia 2/7

• Lvl 90 Base ATK: Attack +674
• Lvl 90 Bonus Stat: Physical DMG Bonus + 41.3%
• ATK is increased by 20%. Triggers on taking DMG: the soul of the Falcon of the West awakens, holding the banner of resistance aloft, regenerating HP equal to 100% of ATK and dealing 200% of ATK as DMG to surrounding enemies. This effect can only occur once every 15s.

The Aquila Favonia is another premium 5* weapon only available through the gacha banners. While this means that the weapon is difficult to get a hold of for most players, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s a desirable weapon choice for Bennet players. 

Bennet’s Elemental Burst provides a damage buff that scales off only the Base Attack values on your character. This means that the Aquila Favonia, which has the highest Base Attack out of all the weapons, provides the most significant increase to Bennet’s Elemental Burst, making it a prime choice for support builds.

Mistsplitter Reforged 1/7

• Lvl 90 Base ATK: Attack +542
• Lvl 90 Bonus Stat: Crit Rate +44.1%
• Gain a 12% Elemental DMG Bonus for a character’s Elemental Type. At stacks 1/2/3, Elemental DMG is further increased by 8/16/28%. Each stack has an individual duration and are gotten through:

• Normal Attacks with Elemental DMG (duration 5s)

• Casting an Elemental Burst (duration 10s)

• Having less than 100% Energy (disappears at full Energy)

The Mistsplitter Reforged is a well-known weapon that stands at the pinnacle of the premium 5* swords in Genshin Impact. While obtaining the weapon is difficult, it will make life easier for any Pyro-DPS-oriented Bennet builds.

This weapon has a reasonable base Attack stat and provides a generous amount of Crit Rate at max level. What this means is that you may have to compensate for energy recharge with artifacts. If you can do this, this weapon becomes a powerhouse as it allows Bennet to serve as a Support and Pyro-DPS simultaneously.
