Episode 107: Bennett

You know you have bad luck when your all-important constellation means “wheel of misfortune.” To top it all off, your C6 spot is widely considered a significant downgrade to your skills. Poor Bennett, can’t even catch a break on his game screen.

Bennett’s outfit is said to be pieced together with old Adventurers’ uniforms. Sewn and tattered, you can tell they’ve been through a lot! One thing we’re not in agreement on is whether the tramp stamp window was standard or a Benny-specific addition.

There’s nothing you can say about Bennett’s luck that he hasn’t already said himself. For good or bad, he’s very aware of the cards he was dealt since being born on Leap Day. But even with all that misfortune, he’s got a great attitude. His burst is a literal thumbs-up. Nobody is bringing Benny down.

Is Bennett a Saurian ancestor? Feens tells us about a theory that the fang he sports could mean he has Natlan ties. What do you think? Saurian? Vampire? Or just an anime style?

During Bennett’s hangout, he makes an ominous dish. When he takes a bite, he passes out. But when Royce tastes it, he dies! Or at least that’s what Tif thinks. Bee & Feens say it’s just an animation choice based on the anime and manga they’ve seen. The jury is still out; tell us what you think!

If you’ve ever done a Mondstadt daily, you know Ellin. But do you know her dad, Herman? Other than being the one that brought her the Hilichurl wooden stands to practice fighting with, he was once a renowned Adventurer. You can chat with him in the Mondstadt area shown in the image.

The avalanche during “Shadows Amidst Snowstorms” almost killed Bennett when he was thrown off a cliff. But did you notice? No. Cause, as Bee tells us, the best Eulamber moment also happened at the same time. Is it love if your lady doesn’t snatch you out of harm’s way?

But that event wasn’t all bad for Bennett. Outside of getting locked in a cage and almost dying, he had an epic moment during the Albedo fight scene when his elemental burst got some enhancements.

Here are some helpful links if you’re unfamiliar with the pop culture references we mentioned during the episode. Tif mentioned Boys in the Band when Bee described Bennett’s dads, and Feens thinks she’s being Punk’d. During our mail segment, Tif mentioned the disappearing photo from Back to the Future.

We talked about alt outfits we’d love to see during our mail segment. The image shows Bee’s pick of Slutty Venti, Feens’ main pick of Delusion Childe, and Tif’s pick of Miss Hina. Feens also talked about the Resplendent Feast looks and mentioned a whole lot of other looks that are highlighted in the TikTok below.
