Building a Vaporize Powerhouse with Bennett and Xiangling: A Guide
Combining Bennett and Xiangling is a fantastic strategy for maximizing Vaporize reactions in your team. Here’s a breakdown of how to build a strong team around these two:
The Core: Bennett and Xiangling
-
Bennett: He’s your team’s support powerhouse, offering a powerful ATK boost and healing. His burst, "Fantastic Voyage," is crucial for maximizing damage.
- Artifact Set: 4-piece Noblesse Oblige is ideal for the team ATK boost.
- Weapons: The Prototype Rancour is fantastic for ATK and HP, giving a boost to both Bennet’s healing and damage.
- Build Focus: Maximize HP and Energy Recharge. You want him to heal constantly and have his burst up as often as possible.
-
Xiangling: The Pyro DPS queen! Her elemental skill "Guoba" provides consistent Pyro application, and her burst, "Pyronado," is a powerhouse for Vaporize damage.
- Artifact Set: 2-piece Crimson Witch of Flames and 2-piece Gladiator’s Finale provide a good balance of ATK and Pyro DMG%.
- Weapons: The Catch is a phenomenal option, especially with the recent buff.
- Build Focus: Maximize ATK, Pyro DMG%, and Crit Rate/Crit DMG. She needs to hit hard and consistently.
Rounding Out the Team
Here’s where things get fun! You have a few good options to complete your Vaporize team, each with their own strengths:
Option 1: The Cryo Duo
- Ganyu: A ranged Cryo DPS, Ganyu’s charged attacks are powerful and provide consistent Cryo application. She pairs well with Xiangling for consistent Vaporize reactions and her charged shots can be quite effective against enemies in a larger radius.
- Diona: Provides consistent Cryo application with her elemental skill and burst, and also offers valuable shields for the team.
Option 2: The Hydro Hero
- Xingqiu: He’s your Hydro application king! His Elemental Skill creates a Hydro Sword that constantly applies Hydro, and his burst deals significant damage while adding even more Hydro. He’s a perfect fit for the Vaporize team.
Option 3: The Sub DPS
- Sucrose: Her elemental skill can gather enemies together, making it easier for Xiangling to hit them with Pyronado. Her burst can also provide additional elemental damage for the team.
- Kazuha: Another great option for crowd control and elemental damage, offering significant benefits to your team.
Gameplay Tips
- Elemental Reactions: Always aim to trigger Vaporize reactions by applying Hydro immediately before Xiangling’s attacks hit. This maximizes the damage boost.
- Bennett’s Burst: Use Bennett’s burst before Xiangling’s burst to maximize the ATK buff for the entire team.
- Team Synergy: Focus on building your team’s synergy. Use supports that provide benefits relevant to the team composition (shields, healing, crowd control).
- Character Leveling: Prioritize leveling Xiangling and Bennett first. Then focus on the remaining team members.
Conclusion
Building a Vaporize team with Bennett and Xiangling is incredibly powerful. Experiment with different team compositions and find the combination that suits your playstyle best!
