Bennett is an interesting character amongGenshin Impact’scast. This Pyro user can fill multiple roles in combat, unlike characters that are geared towards only one task. Players can use Bennett as asupport focused on stat boosting, and as a healer, all at the same time.

That said, choosing weapons for a support character inGenshin Impactcan be a fairly difficult task, vastly different from how weapons are chosen for DPS. Players will need to choose Bennett’s weapons carefully in order to optimize his support abilities. Here are some of the best options.
How Does Bennett’s Healing/Support Work?
Generally, there are two types ofhealers inGenshin Impact: burst healers and skill healers, which require different stats to increase the strength of their healing.Bennett is a burst healer,with his healing built into his elemental burst. In this way, players can either boost healing quality by focusing on Bennett’s max HP, or focus on healing quantity with Energy Recharge. Bennett’s support and healer builds should focus on these stats, and to that, end, equip one of the following weapons.
Skyward Blade
Skyward Blade has two major benefits for Bennett. First, the blade’s skill increases movement and attack speed, as well as the damage of normal and charged attacks. This skillonly activates after using a burst attack,making Skyward Blade one of the few weapons that increases the boosts found in Bennett’s elemental burst.

Secondly, the Skyward Blade alsoincreases the user’s energy recharge.This means that Bennett can use his elemental burst more often, increasing heal quantity.
Festering Desire
While not a common strategy, Festering Desire is the best weapon for a damage-dealing Bennett. The weaponincreases the strength ofhis elemental skill and burst.Seeing that Bennett uses these often in the support role, this can be a very synergetic arrangement. Most importantly, Festering Desire also boosts the energy recharge stat.
Sacrificial Sword
While it may not be the most direct route, the Sacrificial Sword is also a good weapon for Bennett. It works bycanceling the cooldown of Bennett’s elemental skill.By doing so, players can use his skill twice in a row, which builds up more energy for hisinteresting elemental burst. The Sacrificial Sword is perfect for characters that have a skill that can be used in quick succession for energy management and quick damage.
Favonius Sword
The Favonius Sword works like the Sacrificial Sword,indirectly building Bennett’s elemental burst.When using the Favonius Sword, the weapon has a chance to generate energy with each critical hit. As such, when using the Favonius Sword, players may want to considerincreasing Bennett’s critical hit rateas opposedto other stats(after energy recharge and HP).
