I'll hold out until toggleable cons come out or forever in hopes of a better Phys character that actually wants Bennett.

I believe that C6 Bennett doom curse is only applicable to those in the early game or those who played during 1.0-1.6 patch. After Inazuma, a lot of characters now have the explanation of "cannot be overridden" whether in their skill, burst, or passive. As you said, there are many teams nowadays don't even require Bennett. I've C6 my Bennett a long time ago. As well as all my friends. It doesn't even affect us or our account in any way.

I used to be so scared of C6 Bennett, bc of all the videos that said it was bad. Then I did more research and realized that he affected characters and teams I never planned on using AND helped teams and characters that I ALWAYS use. So the second I got his final constellation, I C6-ed and I'm happy with it ^-^

C6 Bennett can override C6 Kazuha & Lynette, but it's actually a good thing since you can enable Weapon Swirl. Weapon Swirling lets you swirl Pyro in situations that doesn't allow you to do so such as when fighting Elemental enemies (Shielded enemies, Hydro Eidolons/Tulpas, Electro Manifestation etc.).

Besides pyro Keqing and Zhongli, Bennett's C6 also enables the infamous Thundering Furry team with Razor (for those who don't know, it's basically a burgeon team using Razor as an on-fielder using bennett's C6 infusion to trigger burgeons, while also using his ult's Stand to apply electro and prevent the burning aura, and self-overloading to make a very chaotic and fun experience). I just feel like Hoyo has been widening the scope of characters and the once big Bennett C6 discussion has been more and more pointless as less teams need him and his big big synergies with pyro carries stand out way more than him possibly messing up teams that can function without him regardless.

I enabled it and I saw no difference. The teams that I use him for were not affected by the pyro infusion, but the annoying marker is gone. So a win-win

I dont know how long youve had a tiny raccoon running along the bottom of the screen to show how much of the video is left but i love it

Imagine if Mihoyo added toggleable constellations right after this video, now that would be hilarious (Mihoyo this is a plead to add toggleable constellations, please)

The funniest thing about this debate for me is that I would've been anti c6 but about a year ago my account was hacked and when I recovered it my bennet had is c6 active which made me realize that only like 2 teams are actually affected by his c6 in a negative way.

i also think certain content creators perpetuated the "C6 bennet is bad and if you activate it you ruin your account dummy" aggression a little too much making people afraid to do so. I did it and dont regret it at all. my favorite element in gensshin is pyro and the dmg boost really helps

I’m glad to know the pyro buff does apply to bow and catalysts as well. When I got Lyney, I was very close to unlocking that last constellation for Bennett before I reread it and thought it only applied to melee units. That being said, I do like using him mainly in my Physical Xinyan team, so it is still a big consideration for me

I always watch this as someone with c1 bennet

I can't ever enable C6 bc I main Benny with Chongyun for that sweet quick melt dmg. Both of them have kits that shortens CD and seeing as Benny's skill already has a low CD, it's a really neat niche team comp.

I love C6 Bennett as it literally allows anyone to be a Pyro DPS. I ran a team, Furina Crimson Witch Vape and it was one of the funniest teams I ever built.

I C6'ed Bennett when I got Yoimiya. Do I regret it? Nope. In fact - it was one of the best decisions. I don't play with Physical characters and most characters have their own infusion (Alhaithem, Raiden, Tartaglia). My XL and Yoimiya love that C6 constalation (who doesn't love a bit more dmg). So... I personally recommend you C6 it, UNLESS - you are NEW player with LIMITED character roaster OR you are EULA player. C6 him. It doesnt hurt.

Bennett's pyro infusion is vital for Razor's best team "Thundering Furry". It's also helpful in Sunfire teams, as although the effect is great at maintaining a pyro aura, it can struggle creating the aura in the first place and that little bit extra pyro application gives it the edge it needs

I have c6 Bennett, and as an Eula main I often use him to show her burst DMG, because the pyro infusion helps Eula not defeat everything before her 30 stacks is built up. Still then I sometimes have problems geting the hp of my opponent below 50%.

I like having options so my Bennett remains at C5 for the foreseeable future. I know being C6 gives him new options but honestly, I don't use those options at the moment. Like the option to allow Kaeya to melt his own ult, but I don't use Kaeya at all. I have no use for his pyro infusion on any of the teams I want to use him on and on teams I want to use him, being C6 gets in the way. What makes it better for me is that leaving him at C5 gives me the option to C6 him at any time but going C6 don't give me any option to op out of it. Unless they add a constellation toggle, which might happen but unlikely, I won't be unlocking that constellation at all.

I think with the introduction of chev in 4.3, those keqing / bennet teams are going to be popping up again so it might be fun to revisit those. I have c6 Lynette and c5 bennet and although it’s fun and all, I actually really prefer Lynette as a sub dps (probably because I don’t have faruzan c6). Open world she’s very serviceable at c6 tho and her self healing on her E.

All of your characters being level 89 is driving me actually insane lmao. This was a really great and informative guide on C6 Bennett and you're absolutely right that having fun with the game should always be the main focus of stuff like this

As a Lyney main I'm at C5 and looking forward to getting my final Bennett copy from the shop or the standard banner or hopefully from a future banner I'm saving for (currently saving for Itto and Arlecchino)

I wish infusions in general were more considered. We hadn’t even got geo infusions until just now with navia and still don’t have a character that can give an external electro/anemo infusion

C6 Kazuha and C6 Bennett actually have a really fun interaction -- whenever Kazuha tries to infuse himself but he's in C6 Benny's burst, it'll swirl on top of Kazuha, because Pyro+Anemo on his weapon = swirl. Then, since Kazuha's C6 makes it so that EM scales his damage up across the board, you can actually just take the ol' EM goblet instead of trying to make a % dmg goblet work on him, and it'll scale his damage up VERY similarly to how it'd be if he took an anemo% or pyro% goblet instead -- only the damage will go up regardless of which type of damage you're doing. You can, in essence, play C6 Kazuha as if he were Pyro or Anemo, without even switching loadouts. It's pretty cool.

I can't think of a single downside for toggle-able constellations, even back in the 2.2 Labyrinth Warriors event there was a temporary buff that would increase your party's constellations by 1 (it visually worked on Aloy, but no actual effect), so the only reason I think it'll never be an option is probably some obtuse lore to gameplay explanation I'd love to be proven wrong and Hoyoverse adds it, then it's a win for everyone

it really is the lack of toggle that makes me never wanna turn it on.

I finally c6'd him about a month ago just for the heck of it. At this point, I rarely even use Benny, and even when I do, it's on teams where he has zero chance of ruining anything, and having the boost for characters like Xiangling, Diluc and Dehya is nice. Zero shade for anyone who hasn't c6'd him; it's silly that Hoyo hasn't made cons toggle-able.

8:37, Kazuha watches a poor girl drown for 5 seconds like a psychopath. Anywho, I don't necessarily regret activating C6, but I know it's kinda limited my Eula. Granted, she still hits like a truck, so it's not too bad. IT just makes her artifacts a bigger chokepoint than they were before. Also, any chance you'd do a video on thoughts about MHY revamping/redesigning characters? With Star Rail having pure HP scalers, it made me wonder if any of the characters who's entire kit scales off something other than attack (Baizhu, Yun Jin) would get their normal attacks to be scaled off the alternative stat. We've seen them give Fontaine characters new cons that effect their normal attack talent, but thta is different from changing a past character.

Last character that don’t like c6 Bennett was Ayaka back in 2.0, after that characters can’t be affected by it

When I first played Genshin in the days/weeks after it first came out. I loved using Razor as my main DPS with Bennett backing him up. That's probably why I still refuse to give Bennett his C6. My Razor is ready for the day Physical DPS gets a buff. :3 Likely. Many, Many, Years from now.

What would be awesome would be to be able to toggle (in settings) elemental infusion overrides.

My problem with Bennet is that unlike some other characters, he works one way when you get him, and then suddenly he functions an entirely different way when you get C6 and you can never go back, forcibly forever changing how you would use him, even if it's not THAT big of a change.

I ended up C6ing my Bennet but that was mainly just cus I got fed up of the red dot being there, but I've also noticed no problems with having him C6 either personally and I don't see that changing in the future

7:00 mona with r5 prototype amber and instructors (for vape / melt) or noblesse (for your ayaka). plus it becomes a freeze team, which means it'll need less healing and that mona's buff lasts longer

Mine is forever c5, as a benny main, melt with chongyun is my favorite team

I C6 my Bennett. I was once in a coop and I went with ayaka, while someone else went with Bennett. During battle, Ayaka kept dealing Pyro damage when she supposed to be cryo. So I asked if that Bennett was C6. The player, annoyed, said yes and called me a meta slave then left. My Bennett is C6, but please people, when in Coop, always say if your Bennett is C6 to allow your teammates to choose appropriate characters.

with more pyro characters that could benefit from the 15% buff, C6 bennet is the meta now

The probability that any future good physical character wants Bennet is low, because if we get one, they will probably want to be using the Superconduct reaction for the 40% physical res shred, and irrespective of C6 Bennet causes a LOT of Pyro application to all enemies inside his Burst, which kinda gets in the way of the Superconduct since Pyro reacts with and clears both Electro and Cryo. Also, for some reason the developers keep trying to make physical damage work specifcally on Cryo characters, and as such they just need Electro support to get the Superconduct, and Kuki just so happens to provide off-field Electro damage while also being a healer.

Never gonna C6 him for 1 reason; it ruins his ability to be the on-field DPS character w/ supporting Chongyun enabling him to Melt all his skills by infusing his normals with Cryo. I've got a lot of nostalgia for this team I ran wayyyyyy back in the day and even though I rarely run it now, I still want to have the option.

i’m never enabling it unless i get a pyro dps that really wants him and benefits heavily

A for fun team i use cant have c6 benny, its bennet and chongyun together, the autos will apply cryo for the E to melt, chongyun will reduce bennets cd with c2, so its 100k+ E's with 1,5s cd

I enabled it back in 1.1 and never regreted it lol.

Razor actually wants c6 Bennett so he can really play Thundering Furry

Stumbled upon this video. Dint watch the video, just read the comments below. A worth pyro DPS has come out and it's time to c6 my Bennett. Arlecchino let's go!!

Day 1 player here and Ayaka main. I have barely used Bennett together with her, and if i did, it was in coop, which i dont use them anymore due to having Kokomi now. I was quite afraid of enabling C6, after so much, but i don't mind as much as I thought i would, and the extra damage I've got in National is very pleasing so yeah, that's my experience. I really hope they do add constellations toggles in the future regardless, it being in a huge qol update like 4.3 is or, in a main x.0 update

Since initially getting Bennett C1 all the way back in 1.2 (only wanted 1 but I ended up with 2 copies) multiple years later, I have a c4 Bennett, he doesn’t seem to like me, so C6 has luckily not been a concern

Man im glad i didnt give in to the red dot 😂 i honestly dint have any strong feelings towards Bennett's c6, but until we can turn cons on and off, i wont activate it

90% of the decisions on my account have been to better my favorite character, Yoimiya. I pulled Yelan for yoimiya, I pulled c6 yunjin for Yoimiya, I pretty much only use Zhongli for Yoimiya, and then decided after over 6 months of having it unchecked, C6'ed my Bennett. I never regretted it. Realistically, the only character it fucks up is Eula, and I benched her a month after getting her. Even Keqing's best team doesn't have Bennett anymore.

It helps if I’m trying to forward vape or melt something because it’s one more means of application

I remember that in some fight events the game decided to leave the same Bennett on C5 (their Bennett)So much about that

Did back when i didn't know any better and yet still to find any reason for me to hate it or has stopped me from any content

Back in my day, I was someone who was really trying to be a Keqing main. Before I could get Keqing (it took well over a year of playing), I heard about the negative effects of C6 Bennett on her physical playstyle, which is what I ended up building towards. Years later, I'm really liking Lynette's style as well, and I play a lot more with characters I like than anything else, but I still never C6'd my Bennett because I knew of his Infusion Overwriting. A bunch of people criticize me for having a "Genshin Boomer" mindset, but I still stand by my decisions until Toggling Cons becomes a thing.

People forget sara exists. She gives the bennet buff and fills a burst dps roll... She even surpasses bennet at c6 in electro teams. Sure she doesn't heal but her damage makes up for any healer you put in the team. Raiden/Sara/yaoyao/flex works ridiculously well. If you got nahida you can go Raiden/Sara/nahida/jean. Sara just doesn't work well with eula unfortunately, but she is still as good as bennet.

I was actually shocked when I noticed that my Kazuha didn't have an Anemo infusion anymore when I was in Benny's burst of a friend. Over the years I collected Kazuha's constellations since he is my boy and for that I won't give up my Anemo infusion. Personally I cannot understand why they make constellations for a character which includes an elemental infusion but don't add the "cannot get overwritten" feature. miHoYo only includes that phrase for newer characters while older characters have a severe deficit. For example if I would decide to activate my C6 Benny I won't be able to use my Kazuha with him anymore since Kazuha cannot utilise the Pyro Infusion without running a meme build. I think that miHoYo should add the "cannot get overwritten" feature in every older character which has an elemental infusion in their kit. Especially the infusions given by constellations should include this phrase all the time because you have to pull this specific character multiple times just to get disappointed. For me it's C6 Kazuha and it feels like they don't appreciate the people using a from the game's perspective support as the Main DPS :/

The biggest downside of not enabling c6 it's dealing with that annoying notification 😵‍💫. I could not stand a single day... So I enabled it

I'm keeping my Bennett c5 , I want to keep him versatile. Yes I know Mika & all these other supports exists. But Bennett is just so universal that it's not worth it for me.

even with eula now you play furina with her so the infusion on bennett's c6 lets you vape her normals which negates the damage loss from her autos being pyro.

The only reason I keep Bennett at C5 is because I use Eula. If there are other good buffer for Physical and heal, I C6 my Bennett. I would have done that if Mika is equally as good or better, but he's not.

Enabling thundering furry is enough to make it worth it. All new characters that have infusions can't be overwritten

C6 bennet is how i make My Vaporize Xiao possible 😍

Oh boy did I misread that title. Kinda disappointed I don't get to see some well thought-out arguments from a 3 year old lmao

Why are we still doing this three years later

My only reason to C6 Bennett was to get rid of the red notification 😅

I think mihoyo is dumb but even i dont think theyre dumb enough not to know how their most widely used healers constellation works. They obviously make new characters with him in mind by making their infusions not overridden. Theyve also moved towards non-atk scaling characters lately to give us variety outside of bennett teams and balance characters with his existence in mind. Some enemies even seem designed to counter him by hitting you much harder when youre pyro infused. Im a eula main myself but i HIGHLY doubt some new physical character will come out that NEEDS bennett but specifically not c6... if you really think about it, theres leaks on characters months away and no signs of any such character. If such a character comes out it could be years from now and whos to say we're even still playing by then? Its completely illogical but people are so afraid of the CHANCE that it happens, despite being able to get a huge damage boost and new team comps enabled in the CURRENT version. I find it wild.

I C6ed him a few month ago because I wanted the dmg buff for yanfei and I didn't want the red mark, and frankly I don't really regret it. I don't ever play physical and my Ayaka has been benched for a while now, so it doesn't bother me that much. And I'm also kinda happy not to have to put bennett in every team now, it makes me want to build more characters.

imagine making an entire video about c6 Bennett without talking about his DPS team with Chongyun. like bro, Bennett is absolutely INSANE in melt teams, he's the only characters with a fast pyro application that's also slow enough to consistently melt if you do your rotations right, and c6 ruins it because now you apply too much pyro.

y’all can thank one specific content creator for perpetuating the C6 Bennett misconception…

As a Lyney main, I c6ed him the instant I could. That extra pyro DMG bonus is juicy and the extra pyro application is nice for swirling. He also enables Xiangling DPS

I will forever have my exclamation point :(

You forgot the biggest pro. The fact activating it removes the ping.

7:53 as a c6 lynette main with c6 bennett, i just run her in teams like jean/faru/furina but this also enables me to do double swirl vv vape stuff (ive run yoi/yelan/lynette/benny for this)

c6ong my benett helped me clear abyss for the first time. i run him on a raiden hyperrcarry and was wasting time trying to kill two electro immune specters. infusing kazuha with pyro, swirl, benett e helped me shave off the couple seconds I needed. he can really help w any elemental weaknessess like that. nicely rounds out the team.

That part of the video where Ayaka has a level 1 weapon, and has to reset the boss attempt. Of course, this is why I scoff at every mention of artifact load-outs. One character, one weapon. I don't move them around. But I don't enjoy micromanaging, like, at all.

My Bennett will remain C5 until there's an option to toggle I don't like pyro, 15% pyro bonus does nothing to me

I'd rather not C6 my Bennett because I enjoy the idea of normal attacking with characters that shouldn't be played optimally with their normal attacks. Granted, Mika alleviates this but I like the idea of having both of my sons in a team. Like you said, I like having him as an option, always.

I enabled it and my only regret is that I can't play Melt Main DPS Bennett or Thundering Fury Main DPS Bennett as an option. Eula prefers Furina/Mika/Raiden to Bennett, Razor can use C6 Bennett in Thundering Furry (EM Razor) which I'm glad I can do since I enabled it, physical Zhongli with Crescent Pike can use YunJin/Cryo/Electro as his team. I'm sure if a polearm character with 5 normal attacks that hit 4 times each to really proc Crescent Pike's passive a broken amount comes out, they'll also have plenty of options besides Bennett. Be it Furina, Mika, Raiden, Fischl, Yun Jin, Zhongli, or some other character they release alongside that character that buffs attack speed.

the real problem is other characters letting their infusion get overwritten by him. i have a c6 kazuha for the anemo infusion cuz he's fun and i love him, but it's annoying that his expensive ass constellation can still get overwritten by bennet's infusion

I just got 6 constellations for Bennet, I haven't upgraded him to c6 yet, and I decided to watch this video. I came out still being confused. I started this game like 5 months ago lmao.

Still can't activate his c6. Love my Keqing with Bennett.

my problem is that little dot driving me crazy, tbh lol

I c6 my Bennet ages ago and have no issues. This back in Enkanomiya. I realized the team I run for Eula doent need Bennet, and other my other carries at the time didnt scale off atk. But my Diluc, Yoimiya liked the pyro boost. As time went on, its never been an issue.

With Furina, C6 Bennett works really good to keep infusing pyro, so Furina can reverse vape more. I started using Kazuha, Bennett, Xiangling and Furina, and this team came out really good as my Furina is C2.

its not a bad choice but i am only waiting because mabey in future there might be a very good phy dps i might like

One argument in favor of C6 Bennett is, ironically, Razor who has a crazy "Self Dendron't Over-Hyper-Load BurgeonBloom Vapetional" team by going EM with C6 Bennett, Xingqiu and Dendro for some crazy simultaneous reactions that are only possible with Razor's weirdness of not infusing himself while at the same time adding Electro damage to himself and having fast application Edit because I found the ridiculous name

I C6'd Bennett ages ago for the most important reason - the little exclamation point on the character icon went away.

Cool vid. But can we agree that keqing getting overridden by pyro is so annoying

eula mains when c6 bennett

I c6'ed and didn't even notice the 15% pyro bonus....but using NA for shield breaking is nice I guess

Did it ages ago and don't regret it

i did C6 my Bennet immediately and my OCD thanks me for it. That red exclamation mark would ruin me more than any ruined team comb would xD

my bennett is c6, i did it for my diluc, and now he also buffs my lyney. xiao and scara, who i always used him with too, aren't affected by c6 bennett. i do not regret it. my ayaka plays permafreeze.

Fuck the love of god I just want a way of removing the red reminder icon. I don't know why it bothers me so much it just does

I have a c6 bennett on my lyney team which has bennett, lyney, xiangling and kazuha, and honestly c6 bennett has been amazing, he buffs lyney AND xiangling's damage, this team is how i got my first ever crit over 50K (now i can hit up to 90K but i'm still planning on improving them)

I can completely see c6 Bennet being great for certain teams, but I would personally rather not risk making him better for some teams, but unusable for others I may want in the future.

I c6’d my bennett usually my teams go for a specific reaction and he doesn’t fit on those teams cause he’d mess it up. But like keqing thrives with dendro and em now so she really doesn’t need him even tho her personal dmg doesn’t benefit that much. There’s still tons of options when it comes to support most of the characters that get screwed by c6 bennett love yunjin anyways and the ones that are meta with yunjin love both (aka yoimiya) then for physical there are clear physical buffers like rosaria and mika and since eula is the number one physical dps you also get cryo resonance. But I kinda only recommend c6ing him if you have a lot of supports for your elements.

I recently c6 my Bennett and it’s perfectly fine. I can’t believe I left it for 2 years

I still have c5 Bennett but for different reason. I just don't like infusion my character normal attack with elements. Idc about spiral abyss that much sometimes if I feel it or rely need extra primogem I will try it otherwise I just don't care also in open world I don't use but char burst regularly,i only use their burst when there is a group of enemies so I could get my burst back or there is strong enemy except that I just use my char skills and normal attack (and this is the reason why I crowned my raiden and kazuha normal attack). I'm agree with ratheil you do whatever you like or want it's your game and your accent, you should enjoy it.

you're like the paulsaoresjr of genshin

Even though imI only use Bennett with Xiangling and nuke showcase, I don't like his c6, sometimes i like messing with na/ca "nuke" and his c6 wont allow me to do that

Funny, I C6'd Bennett by accident while I was doing a test with Eula. Immediately after realizing, I did a Pyro Eula test. And a Pyro Keqing test.

Did it a month earlier. No regrets
