Despite possessing paws that could easily break bones, he spends his time tapping away at a calculator. He effortlessly balances his role as a combatant, using his pillar to fight off thugs during conflicts, with his work in accounting during times of peace. The only thing that could improve his situation is the addition of a jar of caviar.

Currently, the S Rank W-engine for Ben is not available.
A-Rank W-Engines:
Big Cylinder: This is currently the most suitable W-engine for Ben. It offers a substantial amount of DEF and its active effect causes the next attack to deal additional damage equal to 600% of the user’s DEF when Ben is hit by an enemy. This attack is guaranteed to critically hit and can be triggered after Ben blocks an attack.
Bunny Band: While it also provides a substantial amount of DEF, its active effect is not very useful for Ben.
Spring Embrace: This can be used for support as it increases Energy Regen for teammates, but its second stat is ATK, which is a drawback for Ben.
Early Game Options:
[Identity] Inflection and [Identity] Base can be used as transitional options in the early stages of the game.
4 pcs Swing Jazz: This set can maximize the team’s burst damage during the Daze period. It’s recommended to farm the 4 pcs Swing Jazz first to enhance Ben’s support ability.
Remaining Slots: For the remaining slots, you can use 2 pcs Soul Rock to increase the shield amount.
Main Stats:
Slot 4 and Slot 5: DEF% is suggested for these slots to increase the amount of shield.
Slot 6: Energy Regen is recommended to ensure sufficient energy for the Ex Special follow-up attack, thereby increasing the team’s shield coverage.
Sub-Stats:
Prioritize DEF% and DEF to maximize Ben’s support function.
Then consider damage-oriented sub-stats such as Crit Rate, CRIT DMG, and ATK%.
Koleda and Ben: This duo forms the core of the team. The overall boost from coordinated attacks is incredibly significant for Koleda.
Burst Slot:
Soldier 11: To supplement the team’s damage output, Soldier 11 is chosen, creating a well-rounded system with Daze, Burst, and Survival.
Bangboo Choice:
Rocketboo: This enhances the team’s Fire attribute accumulation efficiency, helping Soldier 11 consistently trigger her team passive and the 4 pcs Inferno Metal set bonus during the Daze period.
Rotation Strategy:
Energy Management: When Koleda is on-field and lacks the energy to release the next EX Special, switch to Ben at the end of the Basic Attack. After switching, Ben should:
Use a Basic Attack for animation-cancel.
Perform the first two stages of his Ex Special if he has enough energy.
If not, execute one or two Dash Attacks.
Switching Back: While Ben is attacking, use Defensive Assist to switch back to Koleda and start a new rotation.
Daze Period: After the enemy is Dazed, ensure Soldier 11’s Chain is the last to be used. During the Daze period, Soldier 11 can use her Ult and EX Special for Burst, followed by one or two sets of Fire Basic Attacks until the enemy recovers from Daze.
Team Synergy:
Soldier 11: She isn’t closely tied to the other two characters except as a Fire attribute character, enabling her team passive. Her solo damage is sufficient, making her the best fit among the current Attack-type characters for Koleda and Ben. This makes the Pure Fire team our top recommendation.
Alternatives:
If Soldier 11 isn’t available:
Nekomata: A good substitute, leaning more towards AoE improvement.
Corin: Another good substitute, leaning towards single target damage.
Both Nekomata and Corin are good alternatives, and the overall damage of the team won’t significantly drop with either substitution.
