I've been grinding Genshin Impact since day one, and let me tell you, I think I've just stumbled upon the gaming discovery of the century! While most players are busy farming artifacts or simping for the latest 5-stars, I've been connecting dots that nobody else seems to notice. Brace yourselves, because I'm about to blow your minds with my theory about who Mavuika's mysterious Pyro hero might be – and it's been hiding in plain sight all along!

The Heroes of Natlan: Who's Missing?

As we dive into Natlan's story in Version 5.0, Mavuika is assembling a team of elemental heroes to combat the Abyss threat. So far, we've got:

  • Xilonen: Geo hero (Children of the Echoes)

  • Kinich: Dendro hero (Scions of the Canopy)

  • Iansan: Electro hero (Collective of Plenty)

  • Mualani: Hydro hero (People of the Springs)

That leaves two heroes unaccounted for – presumably Anemo and Pyro. While Chasca seems poised to claim the Anemo role once she awakens her powers, the Pyro hero remains a mystery. Or does it?

I've spent countless sleepless nights analyzing lore, and I'm telling you – all signs point to our unlucky adventurer from Mondstadt: BENNETT!

Bennett's Secret Origins: The Mare Jivari Connection

Here's where things get INSANE. Bennett wasn't born in Mondstadt at all! The poor guy was found abandoned in what was described as "hell on earth" – which perfectly matches descriptions of Mare Jivari, Natlan's infamous sea of fire!

Venti (that sneaky bard) even wrote a poem linking Bennett to Mare Jivari, saying they're "so close and distant." He's been dropping hints right under our noses!

Think about it – who in their right mind would trek into the deadly Mare Jivari just to abandon a baby? No one! Because Bennett wasn't abandoned BY someone – he was abandoned BY THE WORLD ITSELF! That's not just poetic language; it's a massive clue!

People Also Ask: Why is Bennett so unlucky in Genshin Impact?

What if Bennett's infamous bad luck isn't random at all? Natlan lore suggests that those born in the Nation of Pyro who leave without the Wayobs' blessing suffer misfortune and illness. Sound familiar? Our boy Bennett is literally CURSED because he left his homeland!

The Lavawalker Reincarnation Theory

Hold onto your primogems, because this is where my theory goes supernova! I believe Bennett isn't just from Natlan – he's the reincarnation of the legendary Lavawalker!

The Lavawalker was one of the few people known to have ventured into Mare Jivari, and then... disappeared. Bennett mysteriously appeared in the same location. Coincidence? I think NOT!

Natlan is literally the Nation of rebirth and resurrection. The Lavawalker encountered a phoenix in Mare Jivari, which could have facilitated his reincarnation after death. Bennett emerging from nowhere in the same deadly location can't be random chance!

The Ancient Name Awaits

Another bombshell – "Bennett" isn't even his real name! It's what the Adventurer's Guild called him after finding him. With Natlan's concept of Ancient Names being a central theme in Version 5.0, what if Bennett returns to Natlan and discovers his true identity?

Just imagine the scene: Bennett, standing before the Wayobs, finally acknowledged and awakened to his true potential as Mavuika's Pyro hero. The guy we've been using as a support buffer could actually be destined for GREATNESS!

Version 5.2: The Bridge to Bennett's Revelation

The final piece of this cosmic puzzle? Look at HoYoverse's release schedule! Natlan Archon Quests are confirmed for Versions 5.1 and 5.3, but 5.2 seems to be taking a detour to... Dragonspine in Mondstadt!

Why would they interrupt the Natlan storyline to return to Dragonspine? Because it's the perfect way to bring Bennett into the picture! He's already been linked to Dragonspine in previous events, and this time, it could serve as the narrative bridge to transport him to Natlan.

It's so obvious I can't believe I'm the only one seeing it! The devs are literally setting up the perfect storyline transition!

The Ultimate Revelation

Look, I know what you're thinking – "This is just speculation." And sure, maybe I've been farming artifact domains for too long and my brain is fried. But the connections are TOO PERFECT to ignore!

Bennett's motto "teamwork is dreamwork" aligns perfectly with Mavuika assembling heroes from different tribes. His mysterious background, his connection to Mare Jivari, his bad luck that mirrors the curse of leaving Natlan without blessing – it all fits together like a perfectly crafted puzzle.

I'm calling it now: Version 5.3 will reveal Bennett as the lost child of Natlan and Mavuika's Pyro hero. Our C6 Bennett mains are about to have the last laugh!

... or maybe I'm completely wrong and need to touch some grass. But seriously, what if our unlucky adventurer has been the key to Natlan's salvation all along?

What other seemingly minor Genshin characters might actually be central to the game's overarching story? The more I think about it, the more I wonder if Mihoyo has been playing 4D chess with us from the beginning.

Brb, gotta farm more Hero's Wit – Bennett's gonna need them!
