How to Play Benjamin

Lightning-elemental Assassin Who Shines When Tagging In/Out

Benjamin is a Lightning-elemental Assassin who truly shines when played around tagging in/out. His conditional Tag-Out Skill and Support Skill allow him to contribute Lightning Elemental DPS regardless of whether he is active or off-field.

Avoid Hits for 3 Seconds After SP Skill to Empower Skills

If Benjamin takes no damage for 3 seconds after using his SP Skill, he enters "Nightmare Sprint" state. During this time he can use either an enhanced SP Skill or his Tag-Out Skill, so use the enhanced SP Skill if he is your main DPS, or the Tag-Out Skill if you have other Attackers.

Support Skill Also Provides DPS Support

Benjamin has a Support Skill that activates "when a team member uses an SP Skill in battle." It applies a "Lightning RES Reduction" debuff, and when combined with his Tag-Out Skill, you can aim for up to 10 seconds of Resistance Down uptime.

Benjamin Best Artifacts

Rating & Reason

Artifact	Rating/Reason
Hawk's Flight	[Rating] ★★★★★ - Benjamin's Signature Artifact - Unconditionally increases ATK - Support Skill and Tag-out Skill increase Lightning DMG - Special Skill DMG increases further after the Lightning DMG boost triggers 3 times
Suffocating Darkness	[Rating] ★★★★・ - Greatly increases ATK - Increases Crit DMG for Switch Skill and Support Skill

Boost Special Skill and Tag-out Skill

Benjamin is a character who can deal high damage through either Special Skill or Tag-out Skill. The general approach is to equip Artifacts that efficiently boost damage with a focus on the Special Skill — the Signature Artifact in particular has great synergy, as it boosts DMG for both.
