Sethos is the head of the Temple of Silence, taking charge after the death of his grandfather, Bamun. He came to this place as a child with Cyno, becoming one of the owners of the Shards of Ba, the remnants of the power of Hermanubis. Sethos has spent his entire life in the Sumeru Desert, so he knows it like the back of his hand. This knowledge allows him to easily navigate the terrain, as well as save unlucky wanderers in trouble. In the game Sethos is 4⭐ electro character who owns small arms.

History of Sethos (biography)

Sethos in Genshin Impact is one of the followers of the Temple of Silence, an ancient organization hidden in the Sumeru Desert that holds the knowledge left over from the civilization of King Deshret. In his distant childhood, he, along with another child, who was Saino, was chosen as vessels for the power of the great Hermanubis, the pillar of Deshret and the priest, which was inside the Shards of Ba. The fragments successfully resonated with both children, so each of them received their own fragment of the priest's power.

However, Cyrus, a professor at the Academy who was acting together with Bamun, the head of the Temple of Silence, decided to stop the experiment and took Saino with him. Sethos remained in the Temple and was raised according to all their traditions. Subsequently, during a ritual battle, Sethos lost his Ba Shard, but was still able to replace Bamun and become the new head.

Characteristics of Sethos: what increases with elevation

The main characteristic of Sethos, which grows as its level increases, is elemental mastery. Also, when elevated, the values ​​of the hero’s HP, attack power and defense increase. The exact indicators of each stat are shown in the table below.

Sethos Abilities

Sethos is the main damage dealer who plays off charged attacks. He uses the Electro element and elemental mastery as his main stat, which scales most of his damage. His charged attacks have two charge levels, the second of which deals more damage and also pierces through enemies. Elemental Burst puts Sethos into a special stance where all of his normal hits are infused and count as charged attacks. An elemental skill deals Electro damage and additionally restores some energy if a reaction was caused with its help.

Let's take a closer look at all the active and passive skills of Sethos and tell you in what order you need to upgrade them. Let's also pay attention to the hero's constellations in order to highlight the most important of them.

Basic skills (active skills)

• Royal Shooting Mastery (Normal, Charged, Drop Attack)

Normal attack: three quick strikes from a bow.

Charged Attack: makes a targeted shot, charging the arrow with an Electro element. There are two charge levels in total, which depend on the duration of the attack.

• Charge Level 1: Concentrates Electro into an arrow and fires it at enemies.
• Charge Level 2: Fires a Shadow Piercing Shot that inflicts Electro on all enemies in its path. While fully charged, Sethos cannot move and stands still.

Plunging Attack: falls to the ground and hits the area, creating a hail of arrows.

• Ancient Rite: Thunderous Roar of Sand (Elemental Skill)

Energy recovery: 12 units.

Cooldown time: 8 sec.

• Arcane Ritual: Twilight Shadow Piercer (Elemental Burst)

Dark Meditation duration: 8 sec.

Cooldown time: 15 sec.

Energy consumption: 60.

Enters a state of Twilight Meditation, during which Sethos' normal attacks become Twilight Bolts.

Dusk Bolts:

• Deals damage based on elemental mastery to all enemies in its path.
• Counts as damage from charged attacks.

The effect disappears if the character leaves the battlefield.

The order of leveling talents

Elemental Burst (Q) ≥ Normal Attacks > Elemental Skill (E).

1. The basis of Sethos' damage is his charged attacks from his ult and hand. Elemental Explosion should be upgraded first to the maximum level. Along with it, you should raise the level of attacks from your hand.
2. The elemental skill, unlike other abilities, scales with attack power and is only needed to pump up energy. You don’t have to upgrade it, or you can do it depending on the availability of resources and desire.

Passive skills

Sethos Passive Abilities:

Constellations

Below are all the constellations of Sethos:

The best constellations of Sethos - С1, С2 и С6.

• Second constellation gives a 30% elemental damage bonus for normal actions that the hero constantly performs during the rotation. In almost any situation, the buff is constantly active.
• sixth constellation returns 20 energy spent on a hold attack. Konsta makes it possible to use elemental explosions more often and use energy more economically.

It is worth paying attention to energy recovery, since the character tends to constantly spend it.

The cup for Sethos should be taken for Electro damage, and look for crit in the crown. damage or crit. chance. The clock in most builds is for elemental mastery.

Units for Sethos

Sethos is the main DD who does most of the damage in the party, so allies should be selected based on his needs. Since his main stat is elemental mastery, Sethos' team should help implement this stat. For this reason, Dendro and Hydro allies are best, and a mono-elemental team should be abandoned.

For Sethos, you need to select one or two sub-deaders who will increase the elemental status, as well as supports who provide shields, healing or buffs. Please note that Sethos's normal attacks in his ult are considered damage from charged attacks, so supports that enhance normal shots will not be suitable for him.

How to play Sethos

Sethos' gameplay is built around his charged attacks, which can be of two different types:

• Charged strikes of the second level (Shadow Piercing Shots) from the hand.
• Dusk bolts instead of normal attacks during stance after activating an elemental burst.

Please note that Shadow Piercing Shots cost 20 HP. energy of Sethos. This means that three full shots will waste all the energy that could have been spent on the explosion of the element. Based on this, if the character does not have enough energy recovery, you can play for him in two ways - through charged blows from the hand or through an explosion of the elements. Keep in mind that for a comfortable game, Sethos must have full energy at the beginning of each rotation. Otherwise, first restore it with the help of supports.

Additionally, Sethos' elemental skill only restores energy if it triggers a reaction. Use support skills before using E-Shki to inflict elemental status.

Rotation

Procedure for playing through Shadow Piercing Shots:

Supports/Sub-DD > Charged Attack (Shadow Piercing Shot) > Elemental Skill (E) > Charged Attack (Shadow Piercing Shot) > Charged Attack (Shadow Piercing Shot) > Charged Attack (Shadow Piercing Shot) > Elemental Skill (E) > Charged Attack (Shadow Piercing Shot)

In the first rotation, all of Sethos' energy is spent on Shadow Piercing Shots. Keep in mind that if Sethos has a sixth constellation, he can make an additional charged attack after E-shka after returning energy. If desired, you can alternate the character's play styles, periodically switching to an explosion of elements. More detailed description of the rotation:

1. Use support abilities to apply elemental status to enemies to trigger reactions later. In this case, the best sub-deaders are those whose abilities synergize well with charged shots.
2. Switch to Sethos and use a one-time charged attack.
3. Activate his elemental skill and restore some of his energy. Don't forget that the E-shka restores more energy if the enemy has a reaction status.
4. Use 3 Shadow Piercing Shots.
5. If the energy recovery value is high or the skill is cooled down immediately after the rotation is completed, you can have time to activate the E-shka again and then perform a Shadow Piercing Shot.
6. Repeat from the first point.

Procedure for a more versatile game through the explosion of the elements Secret Ritual Twilight Shadow Piercer:

Supports/Sub-DD > Elemental Burst (Q) > Normal Attacks (Dusk Bolts) > Elemental Skill (E) > Charged Attack (Shadow Piercing Shot)

When playing through an elemental explosion, Sethos uses normal attacks, the damage of which is replaced by damage from charged ones. In this case, characters who work with regular attacks (for example, Xingqiu or Ye Lan) are well suited as supports for reactions. Detailed description of rotation through Sethos's ultimate:

1. Activate the skills of supports and secondary damage dealers.
2. Go to Sethos and put him into a state of Twilight Meditation using his ultimate.
3. Attack enemies with normal attacks, the damage of which is considered the damage of charged attacks, until the stance ends.
4. Reset an elemental skill to restore energy. If necessary, you can update the status from support.
5. Use one Shadow Piercing Shot. If Sethos has C6, you can take another shot.
6. Repeat from the first point as you roll back.

Сonclusion

Sethos is a fairly strong epic damage dealer whose gameplay is based on using charged attacks. At the same time, his playstyle can be convenient even for those players who do not like aimed shots, since during the ult stance the hero spams normal attacks. Sethos is focused on elemental mastery and crits, so he has a simplified stat balance that allows him to successfully build a character even at low ranks. The hero is very loyal to beginners both because of his simple gameplay and the ability to choose available equipment.

However, he is still a 4⭐ character who, without constellations, loses to many legendary heroes. In addition, Sethos's Electro element limits his choice of units and does not allow him to cause powerful first-order reactions. Also, without the presence of C6, Sethos has a problem with energy, which is not enough to simultaneously spam charged attacks and activate an elemental explosion. This problem is solved by choosing one type of action to follow during one rotation.
