How Does Bennett’s ATK Buff Work?
Bennett’s Elemental Burst, Fantastic Voyage, provides an enormous ATK bonus to characters standing inside his field. Crucially, Bennett’s buff only scales from his “Base ATK”—this means the ATK displayed in white on his stats screen, which comes from his character level and weapon base ATK (not from artifact ATK% or flat ATK bonuses). To maximize his buff, you want a high-level Bennett equipped with a sword that offers the highest base ATK you can obtain.
Bennett ATK Buff Build Essentials
| What To Prioritize | Why |
|---|---|
| High Base ATK Weapon | The higher the weapon’s base ATK, the better the buff. |
| Character Level | Always level Bennett up—your base ATK increases directly with his level. |
| Elemental Burst Level | Level this talent as high as possible—buff scales with burst talent. |
| Energy Recharge | Needed to keep Fantastic Voyage up all the time. |
Best Weapons for Bennett ATK Buff Build
5-Star Swords (Highest Base ATK)
- Aquila Favonia (Base ATK 674): Top choice for pure buffing, passive is irrelevant—take it for high base ATK.
- Skyward Blade (Base ATK 608): Good alternative, plus Energy Recharge substat for easier Burst uptime.
- Mistsplitter Reforged/Freedom-Sworn (Base ATK 674): Great if available, though their passives are wasted on Bennett as a buffer.
4-Star & F2P Options
- Sapwood Blade (Base ATK 565): Best F2P, forgeable in Sumeru, also provides Energy Recharge and utility for teams using Elemental Mastery buffs.
- Prototype Rancour (Base ATK 565): Another craftable option, but doesn’t provide Energy Recharge. Still, its high base ATK is useful for buffing output.
- Favonius Sword (Base ATK 454): Lower base ATK, but Energy Recharge substat makes Burst uptime easy, so it’s still solid for most players.
Best Artifacts for Bennett ATK Buff Build
| Set Name | Why Use It | Rating |
|---|---|---|
| 4pc Noblesse Oblige | Increases team ATK by 20% after Burst, stacks with his buff | ★★★★★ |
| 4pc Instructor | If another team member already uses Noblesse, this boosts team Elemental Mastery | ★★★★☆ |
| 4pc Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City | New Natlan set, can offer bonuses for elemental teams, niche usage | ★★★★☆ |
Main Stats:
- Sands: Energy Recharge (for quick, reliable Burst uptime)
- Goblet: HP% (for more healing), or Energy Recharge for even faster Burst
- Circlet: Healing Bonus or HP% (if additional healing is desired)
Substats Priority:
- Energy Recharge (aim for 180–220% as support)
- HP% (for survivability/healing scaling)
- Flat HP (minor boost)
- CRIT stats not needed unless you’re building Bennett as a sub-DPS, which isn’t optimal for ATK buffing.
Bennett’s Talent Priority for Buff Builds
1. Elemental Burst (Fantastic Voyage)
Upgrade this to the max for the highest buff—and reliable healing.
2. Elemental Skill
(Optional) If you want extra personal DPS or energy generation, level this, but it doesn’t affect the ATK buff.
3. Normal Attacks
Lowest priority for a pure ATK buffer, as they don’t influence his supporting potential.
Sample Teams to Showcase Bennett’s Buff
Meta “National Team”

Any DPS Carry
Any high-scaling main DPS (like Diluc, Keqing, Ayaka, Lyney, Neuvillette, etc.)—Bennett’s buff is universally useful regardless of element and playstyle.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Stacking ATK% or Flat ATK on artifacts: These don’t contribute to Bennett’s buff!
- Ignoring Energy Recharge: Without enough ER (aim for 180–220%), you won’t consistently use your Burst.
- Using low base ATK swords: Even a 4-star craftable (Sapwood, Rancour) at high level beats an ER sword with low base ATK for pure buffing.
