  1. I honestly don't det why people still cling to this Version 1 doompost of C6 Bennett ruining a comp. Because say there is one day where we do get a mythical Physical unit who gets the majority of their damage from Normal Attacks. If you are serious about wanting to hit their damage ceiling, you'd play them Furina and Mika.

  2. The only reason i sometimes regret my C6 Bennett is because of TF Bennett. No one applies enough electro/hydro to keep up with a pyro infused Bennett that spams a 2u skill every second.

    Outside of that, i basically never had a moment where i regreted my C6

  3. How does freminet have energy problems? He has a constellation that gives him energy, constantly generates energy during his burst, and his optimal electro applier is fischl. I definitely don’t think he is played optimally with bennett, but there is no way he is an “energy black hole”
    I agree with almost everything else though

  4. Eh I’m still not activating it till they allow you to toggle them. If I lived without it for this long, I’ll be fine.

    Surprisingly I still play keqing with bennet and I don’t even have chevreuse yet. I think something that doesn’t get mentioned enough is that thundersoother used to be keqing’s bis artifact prior to dendro. I slaved in that domain for over a year and got the perfect substats for that set only for dendro to come out. The problem? You need the electro particle to be on the enemy which dendro consumes / overrides or else you lose the 40% damage buff from the set. With proper set up, my keqing / sara / bennet / kazuha team performs better than dendro varients unless I am running without a healer keqing fischl kazuha nahida. And no, after all my time in TF/TS domain I still don’t have a full TF set that’s any good lol…. But I have 4 cracked sets of TS that got replaced by golden troupe lol…

    Also don’t have xianyun yet so no pyro plunge for me 🙁

  5. Okay, this debate is old as Genshin itself, and ppl still talking in absolutes.

    "Don't C6 Bennett it will ruin everything"
    "C6 your Bennett it will ruin nothing"

    Both are wrong. Obviosly Bennett's C6 has it's upsides and downsides, so if you don't really care about infusion or physical characters – you will likely lose nothing from C6 Bennett. With that said, having a like 3 out of 4 infusion 4* released having overridable infusions and Chiori seems to be the first 5* with an overridable infusion in a long time, NOTHING stops Hoyoverse from creating a character who has an overridable infusion and wants ATK buff + pyro res. Oh, your Bennett is C6? Well too bad, now you have to pull for a new niche support till C6 to substitute! They also have shorter buff duration, dogshit pre C6 and probably ER issues so chew and don't choke!

    If you really want a 15% pyro buff to your Xiangling or mess with a plunge vape Xiao – sure, C6 Bennett is gonna be great. But what if you don't really care about that? Then there's literally 0 reason to activate it. Keeping your Bennett at c5 won't ruin your account, it may be a good thing in the future, because unless you have your geared Shenhe (Chongyun/Ayaka), C6Mika(Eula, Freminette), C6Faruzan (Lynnette) and some other future niche ass bullshit 4* character ready – C5 Bennett would be your only viable option. And it's not even close.

  7. Great video as always.

    Re Bennett + Keqing at 5:30 – There is really one actual team I use Keqing with Bennett – just used it this week – it's Keqing Aggravate but against the Dendro Hypostasis. You use Bennett to break the ball attack and to buff attacks when it does that shrinking circle of vines attack after it does it's 3 attacks. That's it. That's the only time I use them together. 😛

  8. Bullshit.. do not c6..
    Hoyo pushing sponsored videos so that people finally comes out of Bennett and start pulling other 5 star supports..
    Well if it is not hoyo backed why are multiple channels started circulating c6 Bennett bro at the exact timeline?

    For those who did not c6 yet, you better watch your step from now..
    you will be seeing more channels publishing c6 Bennett bro.. come on.. you’re doing mistake:.
    Well bullshit bro.. imma keep at c5.. bubye..

  9. I activated his C6 as soon as I got it like over 2 years ago because, you know, I have an actual functioning brain. How can Genshin players still debate about this? It never was a problem. It was a powerful and useful constellation from the start and nothing has changed. It's still a top tier constellation. I guess there are a lot of Genshin players that know anything about the game.

  10. Well for the people thinking of c6ing your ayaka at some point don't listen to this video! It will ruin the ability to get Bennett's attack buff and melt your c6 cryo infused charge attack.

  11. Even if c6 Bennett did “ruin” accounts as much as they say, the characters been out for 3 years why not spice up his gameplay a lil bit and have a fun time with some goofy teams

  12. Agree that like 95% of players should C6 him and I've done so myself. However, there are slight things that I feel like you either overlook or underlook.

    Despite the obvious missing synergy and potential energy problems outside of basically double pyro or on-field Raiden teams, 1100-1200 flat ATK just doesn't play games. It remains the biggest single buff in the game by a wide margin and always makes him an important unit to consider when building around a purely ATK-scaling "hypercarry". Along that train of thought, I mostly just wanted to point out the fact that Wanderer is the prime example of a character with whom Bennett doesn't have that perfect synergy yet remains a definitive member of his best teams, arguably more so than Furina. Worst case scenario you'll need ~270% ER from what I've calced (that's with Yunjin as slot 4 and with Bennett's E particles caught by her instead of himself).

    Even Eula's best teams, once you reach a certain level of investment, tend to reach their ceiling with Bennett. Look, I'm not particularly familiar with how her teams compare on paper but there's not a chance you are either. If you actually have the source for that Mika/Furina/Raiden claim, I'd like to see it. All I can say is that C0 dual carry Raiden teams are truly the definition of "have never, aren't, and will never be a thing". Let's just erase Xiaoden from the history books.

    I'm not saying Eula players SHOULD be using sub-C6 Bennett and it's perfectly possible for other combinations to outperform him, but I just feel like I should point out the fact that he's not the only shitty support Eula has to cope with. In other words, if we just had a physical Faruzan, a synergistic electro unit, and a phys carry with less personal ER issues, then it'd be entirely possible for Bennett to take on a clear BiS slot in such a team the same way he does for Wanderer.

    It's more than a stretch in terms of future probability or present relevance, but I hope you can understand what I'm saying.

  13. Agree with your takes, he isn't really needed anymore 3 years into the game. The only 2 teams I use in abyss are Neuv and Alhaitham teams, both where Bennett doesn't matter lol

  14. Meh, I’ll do it when they make constellations togglable. I have no trouble clearing everything in the game and events anyway. Kazuha easily gets the Pyro swirl even without c6.

  15. Nope. Ayaka is really good with Bennett in non freeze team. And she losing a LOT with wrong infusion.
    I play Keqing with Bennett because i never accepted this disgusting green goo you call dendro.
    I play Eula with Bennett because calling Mika a viable support is a joke. With Skyward and ER artifacts, Bennett have no problems with energy.
    And finally, in losing nothing really. Xiangling is my only pyro character for the last 3 years. 🙂

  16. To me is just a simple thing. IF Bennett is never used in a physical team hes still usable as all around support for all teams I want to try without C6, IF Bennett is never used in a physical team and I C6 him then he will be a little better on various teams.

    Now, IF Bennett is somehow used in physical team in the future then I can use him in that team withouth C6, but if I C6 him then I cant. In short, No C6 = Very good on every team I could want to use him, Yes C6 = Better than very good on teams that doesnt include physical. And considering theres no going back after C6 him, on my case I prefer the first option.

    Not gonna risk his 100% all around for lets say 95% all around and 15% pyro bonus and infusion. 15% is almost nothing considering is additive to all % bonus and I dont care about infusion couse most of characters gets a bonus aside their own infusion so in short it almost doesnt matter too, mostly couse u use them when they are already affected by their own infusion.

    But thats just me, the only reason is theres no going back, and he works fine as C5. If they implement a way to turn off constellations then I will C6 him immediately.

  17. This was a completely fair and totally unbiased video.

    Basically your only argument against teams that don't want C6 Bennett is: "I wouldn't play Bennett in this team / Why would you play Bennett in this team".
    So let's just ignore the issue altogether and move on as if it doesn't exist.

    C6 Bennett doesn't only ruin some infusions. It also ruins reactions, which is arguably the most significant characteristic of Genshin Impact. The entire game revolves around reactions.

    You've mentioned Lynette (C6). For her, as well as Kazuha's C6, the Anemo infused attacks have a special property: The ability to swirl. This is essential when played in a Driver position for teams like Electro-Charged, or Thundering Fury, or just any team that enjoys an Anemo Driver on Viridescent.
    C6 Bennett ruining those normal attack swirls constitutes a big damage loss in these scenarios.

    You've also mentioned Ayaka, which is not limited to Freeze / Mono-Cryo teams. She can also be played in Melt Teams. Paired with Shenhe, her entire Kit becomes quite destructive. She has access to incredibly strong Charged-Attacks (with quills) that she can use when the Burst is on Cooldown. Bennett becomes quite a good teammate for Ayaka when battling un-freezable enemies and Bosses, or when played in a Melt comp.
    Having Bennett at C6 makes her unplayable during downtime and erases a good portion of her kit.

    I mentioned these two because they are the ones you talked about in the video.

    Side note: Bennett "not generating a lot of energy" isn't an issue. When played as a support with minimal field time, you can stack Energy Recharge on him. My Benny only hops on field for an E+Q and he's good to go with his Burst off cooldown. You can even give him Fav sword if you really want to help the team with bonus energy.
    And if you play him as a DPS, well, he's naturally going to get more field time and more Skill proccs anyways, so there should be no problem with energy.

    C6 Bennett is not all bad. There's a lot of good to it, but it doesn't work for every team. Ideally, it would be amazing if they implemented the ability to Toggle On / Off constellations.
    This would settle the entire debate and make everyone happy.

  18. I think this whole fear of C6 Bennett comes from the early years of the game.
    Back then, most DPS could get their infusions overriden and when Eula came out she was one of them. And Mika/Furina didn't exist yet, Benny was the only option to buff her damage up! Because of that (and Dendro not being a thing yet) most people associated a C6 Bennett as a curse or well.. bad luck xD

    It's no longer the case tho! As you highlighted😁

  19. I c6ed my bennet back in 1.x era and I didn't even knew how useful it will be today….Toh I had to pull Shenhe for my Ayaka but ngl those few patches were really painful and nightmare inducing whenever I paired my Ayaka with bennet….I don't have an Eula so nothing else matters really and my Ayaka is safe…!!!!
