Which character(s) did you bench and why?

[floral sandal]

I know most of us stop using some characters we used to have, since many talked about mains I became curious whom you benched, either support or main, could be both.

Example:

"I benched 🐈❄️🏹 bcs ☄️🚫💰 came home."

or you can go with words however you like.

[grand hemlock]

I benched Kaeya and Thoma idk why I just stopped using them 😭

I think cuz I wasn’t using the team they were in and I got new 5*

[unborn veldt]

benched venti bc vv is hard and amber bc ganyu came

[regal acorn]

I benched Keqing, Mona, Qiqi, and Tighnari. I’m trying more so to build Jean and Diluc plus I’m not the biggest fan of them tbh

[slate hinge]

benched eula and ayaka which is funny bc i literally cried when i was pulling for them😭

[amber mural]

benched layla bc

well idrk

i kinda didn’t rlly need a shield as much

going afk with yaoyao does the job with more damage

(yuegui + em raiden) vs layla .. and … no one else rlly

[young sundial]

semi benched xiao, i only use him for exploration now

[mellow drum]

benched ganyu (kind of benched hu tao but i still use her) bc ganyu does big dmg sure but one shotting everything i come across isnt really exciting anymore i only use her in abyss if its an enemy that i have trouble with

[cunning hill]

Yoimiya

Because she's just not fun to use for me

[fossil oriole]

benched ayaka klee yoimiya albedo ig? i mostly use them for abyss now except for klee i just dont use her

[solid hamlet]

im probably gonna bench xiao after i level cyno to free raiden up for her normal team with venti

he’ll always have a special place in my heart and on the bench

[swift fjord]

on my main, the few limited 5*s i have are all too precious to me, and only diluc was benched since venti came home 💀
my alt, itto and wanderer. im planning to build itto once my nilou, jean and yelan are decently built since i love his character but wanderer….he better get comfy on that bench i hate him :/

[pallid monolith]

I benched razor, ayaka, xiao, heizou, and scara because I got Kazuha and Cyno. I semi benched Xingqiu because Yelan came home. I benched chongyun and qiqi because I got bored of them and I benched Mona and Jean because I lost 2 50/50s to them.

[waxen haven]

Raiden because I thought she was meta so I pulled her but I benched her after knowing she’s mid

So I use good characters now, like nahida/yelan/xingqiu/kuki/nilou/yae/childe/alhaitham/kazuha/sucrose

[solid hamlet]

slay

keep the bitch benched

ding dong the wicked bitch is benched

[main lark]

🦋🖤 +🏹❄️🐐+👖 cus 🌿🛐 came home

[mellow drum]

hu tao (IM SO CONFUSED ), ganyu and jean bc nahida came home...?

[main lark]

it’s wonderer ganyu and jean bc nahida came home

[mellow drum]

oh the butterfly and black heart make no sense to me at least i got most of it right

[floral sandal]

You benched a lot of characters too, i see

[floral sandal]

Is the butterfly scara's skill of flying? The second one's Ganyu, that pant is jean right?, well can't blame you for benching them, dendro reaction's strong and it has no cryo/anemo/geo reaction

[lofty hedge]

klee, because her playstyle is gen not fun for me, also ganyu because i want to deal more damage with her but wanderer's troupe hates me (also aiming in mobile sucks as$)

[swift fjord]

the fact my jean did more dmg overall while also missing a circlet is 💀

[solid hamlet]

PLEASE

[muted linden]

raiden because she wasnt doing good enoough 💀 also uhh idk how much er is good for chars now cuz of how much er she needed so now i hate her kinda idk shes kinda ugly too

[west berry]

I benched xiao, ganyu and ayato. Even though I have built them, I just generally like using my other characters who are better built than them

[floral sandal]

same bh, same

[untold lichen]

I benched diluc bc he’s crusty and i hate him

[gentle moon]

I benched xiao, not because I hate him or anything, but I'm just not getting good vermillion pieces for him and rn he's has a random build on him which is not suitable for him. I don't think I will use him anymore because I have so many new characters but I love our emo boi

[half reef]

Thoma, his damage and shield suck

[finite spoke]

Fun fact, I benched my hutao cuz I have too many characters to build in the first place

[spice rain]

I benched razor because I realized that chongyun and razor don't go togther... I also got rosaria and wanted to do a freeze comp with chongyun and mona

[meager goblet]

Earliest Bench was Sayu because I found yaoyao much easier to play tbh
And I was kinda too lazy to farm for vc

• vv set

I might unbench her for fun when I’m at a higher AR

[fading atlas]

i benched wanderer, he's prolly getting out of that bench once ayaka does some good damage for once with her burst

[halcyon lichen]

Benched Bennett dps, but sometimes he comes back
Semi benched Xiao and Cyno, only using them for abyss/boss
Benched Heizou but he will come back one day 😔

[finite spoke]

Tighnari

He's gotten boring

[worthy fiber]

Benched Diluc bc of Heizou and Barbara might be benched bc of Yelan

[spring shuttle]

benched noelle after pulling redhorn for her ^^"; i got yelan not too long after that and my yelan was just a much better dps than my noelle.

[finite spoke]

Noelle still solos

I benched Yanfei

Literally right after I got her on Wanderer's banner

Just immediately benched her for Xingqiu

[iron niche]

Benched ganyu bc shes so incredibly boring to play and i got 2 ayakas in a single 10 pull on her release and i like her way more

[lapis heron]

i benched Jean a little while when I got other healers/anemo dmg dealers but I've brought her back now since she's so tanky

[molten drift]

benched xinyan when xiao came home in 2.7 yes i was a xinyan main

[lapis heron]

we appreciate Xinyan

[molten drift]

we do
