In the “Iansan vs Bennett” section, I didn’t touch on artefact sets as it was getting quite long, but basically:

Oblige is team-wide 20% ATK (+200 ATK using the same 1000 B.ATK example)
Cinder is team-wide 40% DMG

With all of that considered, at max (and in an appropriate team):

Bennett provides 1402 ATK (1202 + Oblige) and 15% Pyro Bonus

Iansan provides 1110 ATK (810 + 300 from C2) and 65% DMG (25% from C6 + 40% from Cinder).

Quite close…ish…

I go into a bit of nuance in the section, as it still depends on several factors, but that’s their buffing capabilities at a glance.

missed the chance to rick roll us with beeps on april fools

@Professor_Wisteria_

regardless of who is better, you HAVE to admit that the fact she's the first character in a long fucking time that is even in CONSIDERATION for beating Bennett speaks to how good she is in and of itself.
Benny has been Buff God since release, so Iansan getting anywhere close to that is a feat for sure

moggy hydrating up my unquenchable thirst for character info

@entegi

For the weapons: The new event weapon from 5.4 is her best free to play weapon as it has a high base attack for a 4 star weapon, gives her all the ER she needs in any team and the passive gives her a 40% attack buff (as well as a nice 10% movement speed buff for overworld). "Overcapping" on attack on her in teams that cant maintain 42+ stacks on her actually allows you to get the maximum attack buff for a lot longer in those teams.

Also for the comparison between their buffs I think its important to mention the fact that iansan can use scroll while bennet can "only" use noblesse. You cant compare damage% to atk% 1:1, but scroll is significantly better than noblesse, giving her an advantage there.

All in all I think the fact that she is not bennet powercreep but a sidegrade is still amazing, as she is good in teams where bennet struggles and in general just is a great second option in two team content where you need a second attack buffer.

@Achance2c

I put her with the recent event spear and that 40% ATK increase does wonders and it scales on ER

@queersona326

i've been using her on an overloaded team with Clorinde and i've been really enjoying it, since Clorinde can't make great use of Bennett due to her moving around

@musicaltarrasque

The mizuki event weapon seems to have been made for iansan, you had an unrefined one, the refine, which anyone playing the event should have gotten, gets you to 40%

@justinthedancer

IANSAN IS THE GOAT FROM NATLAN AND FROM GENSHIN

@paulciuta329

Quick tip: it doesn't matter that much if the night soul is under 42 if you have 3000+ (ex: 4500 atk can still give the max atk even if you're at least 35 points)

@Yuki-eq6nf

i think that is better to have more than 3k attk, so you can have a big attack bonus when her bar is low

@superini9005

Saved EVERYONE'S evening with this one 🙏

@haruhihirano2633

1:15 rip iansan oof

@breadiced

I was literally waiting for this guide 0:17

@ZizzyNuggets

I got Iansan. I don’t use her but I might start building her since I don’t have Benny boy rn.

@therealgeoarchon

I unexpectedly got Varesa with 1 pull hoping to get more Iansan cons and I did not expect cow girl to be smashing mobs even at lvl 40 🤯

@veto8611

Another factor iansan has is the ability to run cinder city

@Kaneki-o6-p6y

I have c1 iansan I'm still trying to get her c2 iam at 30 pity after getting veresa😅

@grommy511

at c6 she is 10% dmg increase for my kinich compared to bennet c6. cinder city and dmg buff at c6 makes her better for mobile characters than bennet

@RashLolz

A good thing to mention is how Iansan is in mavuikas best team now instead of xilonen, since mavuikas charged attack counts as movement
