Until February, players will get to pull S-Rank characters like Zhao and Ye Shunguang who are making their debuts. However, the featured A-Rank choices are just as strong and likely to be pulled too. With Ben\u2019s rerun on Zhao\u2019s banner, here\u2019s some of his best builds if you manage to get him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Table of Contents<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>&#x1f4aa; <a href=\"#BenStrength\">Ben\u2019s Strengths &amp; Weaknesses<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#x2699;&#xfe0f; <a href=\"#BenWEngine\">The Best W-Engines for Ben<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#x1f3b6; <a href=\"#BenDiscs\">The Best Drive Discs for Ben<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#x1f48e; <a href=\"#BenUpgrade\">All of Ben\u2019s Upgrade &amp; Promotion Materials<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#x1f4a3; <a href=\"#BenTeam\">The Best Team Comps for Ben<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"BenStrength\"><strong>&#x1f4aa; Ben\u2019s Strengths &amp; Weaknesses<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"376\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/image-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49271 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 672px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 672\/376;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ben is a Fire-based Defense character with his prime focus being Energy Regeneration. In his Support role, he can provide shields to the party using his Special Attack move. He can even increase their Critical Rates when given the chance which can synergize well with aggressive DPS. He even comps well with Koleda to unlock more of her kit, so keep that in mind if you have her too. You can find a zzz top up to get the best and trending characters. Get one with us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main and only downsides to using Ben are that he\u2019s only really great in the early to mid-game. Unless always paired with Koleda, his stats and buffs tend to struggle more later on. He also works a lot like a tank since he\u2019s a Defense character. However, he moves a lot slower when it comes to his Attack and movement Speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Character<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Rank<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Element<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Specialty<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>&#x1f43b; <\/strong><strong><em>Ben <\/em><\/strong><strong>&#x1f43b;<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>&#x1f31f; <\/strong><strong><em>A <\/em><\/strong><strong>&#x1f31f;<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>&#x1f525; <\/strong><strong><em>Fire <\/em><\/strong><strong>&#x1f525;<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>&#x1f6e1;&#xfe0f; <\/strong><strong><em>Defense <\/em><\/strong><strong>&#x1f6e1;&#xfe0f;<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"BenWEngine\"><strong>&#x2699;&#xfe0f; The Best W-Engines for Ben<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"379\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/image-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49269 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 682px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 682\/379;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Since Ben\u2019s best Defense move for enacting shields is locked behind his Special Attack, you want to increase his Energy Regeneration as much as possible.
