Bennett vs Dehya

The unlucky adventurer vs. the Flame-Mane's protective aura

TL;DR — Quick Pick

Pick Bennett if…

  • When you need to maximize your team's damage via ATK buffs
  • In teams that can stay inside his inspiration field
  • To fill the healer slot efficiently

Pick Dehya if…

  • When you need total interruption immunity for a short window
  • In Ganyu Melt teams to provide Pyro and protection
  • If you want a character that can survive extreme damage via mitigation
Verdict

Bennett is the superior support in 95% of cases due to his game-breaking ATK buff. Dehya serves a very specific niche in Melt teams or as a tank, but her overall power level is significantly lower.

Shared Team Members

With Bennett

Bennett and Xiangling provide the Pyro core that many teams rely on for Resonance and high off-field damage. Bennett's ATK buff is essential for Xiangling's Pyronado, which snapshots his buff for its entire duration, leading to massive damage output.

With Dehya

Dehya can be used in Triple Pyro setups with Bennett and Xiangling, providing interruption resistance and damage mitigation. This allows the team to play more aggressively while Bennett and Xiangling provide the bulk of the team's offensive power.
