Is Qiqi or Bennett Better for Healing?
Healing is a crucial aspect of any gaming or role-playing experience, and in Genshin Impact, it’s no exception. Among the multiple playable characters, Qiqi and Bennett are two of the most prominent characters known for their healing abilities. While Qiqi is often regarded as a pure healer, Bennett is also viable for healing, albeit with different synergy and playstyle. In this article, we’ll delve into the strengths and weaknesses of these two characters to determine which one is ultimately better for healing.
Qiqi vs Bennett: A Comparison of their Roles
Before we dive deeper into the comparison, let’s highlight what each character brings to the table regarding healing.
Qiqi – The Pure Healer
The Best Pure Healer, Qiqi is often chosen for her exceptional healing potential and sustainable healing capabilities. Her passive – Fortune-Preserving Talisman – allows her Elemental Skill to heal allies who haven’t been healed recently.
Key Strengths:
• High Healing Potential from her Elemental Skill and Buru’s Elemental Elemental Skill
• Passive synergy with other healers in the team
• Exceptionally high Elemental Attack and Elemental DEFstats**
Key Weaknesses:
- Weak against enemies with elemental AoE (Area of Effect)
Bennett – The Off-Main-Healer Synergy
An Adaptive Healer, Bennett’s healing abilities are more nuanced but still effective. His passive skill, Elemental Resonance, increases elemental DEF and elemental ATK for team members, making him a great secondary source of healing.
Key Strengths:
• Elemental RES, ATK, and DEF increases (synergy with the element)
• Exceptional elemental damage, increasing ATK and DEF
• Dual elemental elemental skill that enhances elemental reactions
Key Weaknesses:
- Less efficient purely as a healer compared to Qiqi
- Elemental RES can struggle against enemies with powerful area-of-effect attacks
Picking the Right Healer
When deciding between Qiqi and Bennett, consider your squad’s composition and playstyle. Qiqi excels as an off-main-healer synergy because of her high healing potential; however, Bennett’s elemental synergies make him a great option against enemies with elemental weakens.
Comparison of Their Active and Passive Skills
Note: The following table lists Active and Passive Skills of both characters, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses:
| Character | Element | Active Skill |
|---|---|---|
| Qiqi | Cryo/Pyro | Elemental Skill: -5% damage taken while there are allies within area**-5% damage taken increased to -10%** upon using Elemental Skill** (Heals allies for nearby enemies) |
| Bennett | Pyro | Elemental Burst: **Elemental elemental skill that enhances elemental reactions-5% damage increase* (Increases team heal and elemental damage for friends) |
| Passive Talent: | ||
| Passive Talent: Fortune-Preserving Talisman (Qiqi only* |
Ultimate Verdict: Qiqi wins as the Best Healer
While Bennett offers exciting synergy and elemental damage increases as a secondary healer, Qiqi’s pure healing potential and passive abilities for sustainable healing make her the undeniable choice for a dedicated healer.
However, having both Qiqi and Bennett within your team can create a potent cocktail of healing and elemental damage increases (Bennett). Bennet’s Elemental Resonance ensures that his elemental damage synergized with the team’s elemental damage boosts team healing and elemental damage (Ei). In this synergy set, Qiqi remains unparalleled as the best pure healer!
Conclusion
In conclusion, for situations where you need dedicated primary healing, Qiqi is still superior. However, if you prioritize balance and synergy, Bennett’s unique Elemental resonance and elemental damage increases can still render him a valuable asset to your squad
