Ben's Strength

Uses Shield, Damage Buff and Stun Effect

Ben can enhance damage, stun, apply a shield for allies and apply Crit Buff by blocking and countering attacks with (EX) Special Attacks. Has the rare ability to deploy a shield but also can act as an Attack, Stun and Support character.

Tips!	To activate the CRIT Rate buff, try teaming up with characters like Soldier 11 and Anton.

Block Counter is Super Powerful

Ben's Special Attacks are really powerful. It's especially powerful when you successfully block an attack, which completely prevents taking damage and also triggers a Block Counter, dealing massing damage to the enemy. You need to time it precisely but if you pull it off you can get a huge advantage against the larger bosses.

Team up with Koleda for Higher Stats

When Ben is teamed up with Koleda, who is from the same Faction with the same Attribute, Koleda's stats get a boost. Both consume little Energy using the Defensive Assist so we recommend combining Ben with Koleda.

Ben's Weakness

Mobility is Extremely Low

Out of all the characters, Ben has extremely low mobility so it takes a lot of time for him to close in the distance with enemies. Although his counter attacks are powerful, he has a hard time closing in on enemies and enemies that use long range attacks.

Can Only Really Act as a Tank Character

Ben has a shield in addition to playing an Attack, Stun, and Support role but each of those skills are below average. He can be switch between different types of roles, but he isn't really great at each one.

Ben - Strategy and Combo

Follow-Up Attack to Create Shield After EX Special Attack

Ben is a normal Support Character and his strategy is to deploy shields, apply CRIT buffs and pass them to Attackers. Collect enough Energy for 2 skills and use it for follow-up attacks before switching characters.

Watch for the Red Light upon Counter Attack

When using Counters, attack right when you see a red light to increase the damage significantly. If you block it successfully then connect it with a counterattack or follow-up attack, and if it fails, quickly release it and aim for a counter again.

Ben - Best Team Comp

Belobog Heavy Industries Team

Attack	Stun	Defense
Anton	Koleda	Ben

Use Set Effect with Koleda & Ben

By having Koleda and Ben you can utilize the Set effect buffs. Anton can activate the Additional Ability since they are from the same Faction and all characters have strong Defensive Assist skills so you can use Perfect Assist many times without worrying about Assist Points.

Don't need to use Ben often

Ben is in the team to enhance Koleda's stats and apply shields so you can switch to another character as soon as you use EX Special Attack and follow up attacks. Also, to avoid the shield from breaking switch to Anton when the enemy is stunned whenever possible.

Low Cost Gacha Electric Shock Team

Attack	Stun	Defense
Anton	Anby	Ben

Electric Shock Team with Ben

Electric Shock Team with Anton as the main attacker in addition to having Ben. It should be easy to arrange this team and Anton should have enough survivability during Burst Mode and enough Shock buildup.

Try to Maintain the Shield

The shield not just increases survivability but also gives you a Crit Buff. You want that buff when you use Burst Mode so try to maintain the shield.

Recommended Characters

Koleda	Recommend: - Additional Ability activates when another character in your squad shares the same Faction/Attribute - Use set effect to increase Koleda's damage output

Grace	Recommend: - Additional Ability activates when another character in your squad shares the same Faction - Gives you many choices for the ATK character with the most common Electric or other Attribute - Combination of defense and Anomaly may be difficult to use
