How to play Ben on Zenless Zone Zero: build, talents and skills

Ben is equipped with a specially designed W-Engine for his kit, called the Big Cylinder. If you get your hands on this item, install it on Ben. Otherwise, Steam Oven or Crescent are excellent choices, as they greatly boost his defense, a key trait for many of his skills.

It is recommended to prioritize increasing Ben's defense stat, so we highly recommend at least a two-piece set of Mammoth Electro and Ecstatic Punk. During his special attack, Ben generates a shield proportional to his hit points, making the Twisted Grindcore two-piece set a very interesting option to consider.
