Genshin Impact: Bennett Quick Character Guide

This guide only covers Bennett's role as the Burst Support. A Burst Support Bennett completely ignores the need for excess healing potential and is aimed for people who prefer to squeeze out more damage instead.
On this build, Bennett is built with offensive stats like ATK%, Pyro Damage, and Crit stats while having a good amount of Energy Recharge to burst off cooldown.
Prioritize Energy Recharge before offensive stats if you cannot cast your Elemental Burst off cooldown.

This guide is based on the Community Character Builds by the Genshin Helper Team.

TLDR / Rotation

As mentioned before, this guide only covers Bennett's role as the Burst Support. Keyword: Burst. His whole benefit in the team is by supplying 100% Burst uptime. In other words, Bennett will contribute with healing and ATK bonus through his Elemental Burst.
As long as you have enough Energy Recharge, Bennett can get enough Energy with few Skills to charge his Burst back up before the next rotation.
Prioritize Energy Recharge before offensive stats if you cannot cast your Elemental Burst off cooldown.
