History (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.

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 ive 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: 15 sec.

The effect disappears if the character leaves the battlefield.
The order of leveling talents
Elemental Burst (Q) ≥ Normal Attacks > Elemental Skill (E).

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.

Detachments
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 s who provide shields, healing or buffs.

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 s.
Additionally, Sethos' elemental skill only restores energy if it triggers a reaction. Use skills before using E-Shki to inflict elemental status.
Rotation
Procedure for playing through Shadow Piercing Shots:
s/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:
- Use 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.
- Switch to Sethos and use a one-time charged attack.
- 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.
- Use 3 Shadow Piercing Shots.
- 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.
- Repeat from the first point.
Procedure for a more versatile game through the explosion of the elements Secret Ritual Twilight Shadow Piercer:
s/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 s for reactions. Detailed description of rotation through Sethos's ultimate:
- Activate the skills of s and secondary damage dealers.
- Go to Sethos and put him into a state of Twilight Meditation using his ultimate.
- Attack enemies with normal attacks, the damage of which is considered the damage of charged attacks, until the stance ends.
- Reset an elemental skill to restore energy. If necessary, you can update the status from .
- Use one Shadow Piercing Shot. If Sethos has C6, you can take another shot.
- 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.
We hope this guide helped you create the best Sethos build in Genshin Impact. If you have any questions, ask them in the comments. stay tuned ENT.
Trailer
You can watch the video of Setos' story on VKontakte:
Why is Tartaglia's signature weapon "Polar Star" not among the bows?
because it buffs atk and setos only needs atk after msa and crits
Is it possible to put Kandakia in squads with him? in the role of sub dd or , if I plan to play through vegetation?
maybe you can put nahida there, and kukki as a hill. although then there will be a lot of sub dd. I don't know anymore
Is [Rusty Bow] suitable for R5 Setos if you play from the ult, or is [Slingshot] still better?
so damage during the ult is considered damage of the charged attack, that is, a rusty bow is an absolute useless, and also on the attack power, and also rusty reduces the damage of the charged one, that is, it is a debuff at all, lol
finally knocked out this guy, but it remains to pump, so far I gave the ideal ensemble-set and the Lini signature, in of squads I have 2 options: Setos, Raiden, Kazuha and Bai Zhu, or through overload with Raiden, Chevreuse and Bennett.
His charged attack consumes energy, this is unusual, and the character requires high recovery, I managed to collect 154%, it seems normal, in of elemental mastery I have 400+
When I finish ing, I'll write about the damage
Preliminary assessment of damage depending on gameplay:
Setos is played both from a charged and an ult - and the player needs to make a choice how he will play, if from an ult, then he will have to give up the charged ones, unless there is a c6, but if on the contrary - to play only from charged ones, then all the energy will go to them;
and what is better to choose then? well, for now it seems that the ult is useless and there is no damage, unlike charged attacks, perhaps I should pump up the character to make a final assessment, but in of damage, the ult is like 1.0-1.5 charged attack, although this is immediately visible in the talents, the charged attack scales from attack power + ms, and the ult only from the latter, although I expected much more damage, after all, during the ult, the damage is considered the damage of the charged attack
pumped up to lvl 80, attack talent level 7, what about damage: 44k damage with a charged attack (under energy) in a pack of overload, something like that
if I level up to lvl 90 and make a talent of level 9 - it will definitely be 50k, and that's without chevrolet c6, if anything
as for 4* I'm quite happy with the damage, although it's worth understanding that, say, 50k from a charged weapon and you can do this attack 3 times, and it's not a fact that it will crit,
and then you need to recharge with energy, however, updating buffs, etc.
and repeat the rotation, regarding the ult I still don't understand why it's needed at all, Yoimiya cosplay - and not only
What do you think is better for damage - Slingshot or Cloudforged?
I found the answer on YouTube, watched several different videos, and everywhere the Slingshot shows itself better due to the increase in charged attacks, despite the lower mastery of the elements.
I wonder where to put the Forged One now... XD
Experiment log, entry 324:
Slingshot level 62 outperformed Forged level 90 in damage in both playstyles))
Who knows, it might come in handy)😌
everything is much funnier. The slingshot already at level 20 is ahead of the event gun, because we only need crit chance from elevation, and the base has very little effect on the damage from the ult. I recently calculated in the calculator which is better - forged or skywing. How it burned when I calculated the slingshot and it turned out to be 30 percent stronger
well obviously, an event bow with such ms is only for sap-roll, although a stringless one would be better, and the Slingshot is a base
Dude, are you serious? How can a stringless bow be better than the bow that was created for the setos?
It's better to have a normal character for damage, not this piece of crap
Are you offended by the character?
Setos is a pretty cool character with his own mechanics, and if you want, you can assemble him into a DD, however, this is his main and only role, even though he is 4*
Wifegaming is a base, and you go to a character's page and hate him for no reason, if you need another character to deal damage - that's your business, why bother with others?
And you specifically found a page with a guide to this character to write how bad he is? How sweet of you that you took the time to write about this "wretch". Literally: I walked 100 km here to tell you how indifferent I am to you.
Is Sethos worth the risk? I've now wasted 49 attempts (and not one Sethos in about 30 of those). I don’t really need Haytham or Clorinda right now. The chances at the leg are 50/50. Yes, I’ve already been lucky 3 times 50/50.
Do you like its design and gameplay? If yes, then take the risk. The character is very pleasant and varied: if you want to play with a call, or if you want to play with charged ones. In addition, it is very cheap in of arts and weapons (ensemble + slingshot)!
In 150 spins, I got it 7 times and got two crowns (I’m thinking of throwing a crown into my food too, I know it’s stupid, but why not?). As a result, I have great pleasure and for me Sethos is the best character in the game!
If you are playing recently, then if I were you, I wouldn’t spin banners for 4rock. Especially for the sake of main-dds, like setos, which are always weaker than 5star main-dds.
If you’ve been playing for a long time and the whole question is, “I want a setos, but suddenly an unwanted leg appears.”
If I were you, I wouldn’t twist it again. I knocked it out and overall I’m not happy with it.
!For me! it is uncomfortable and weak (at C0). And it’s definitely not worth the risk of spinning it on a banner with unwanted legs. There are never enough twists, even for donors. And 5star legis come out every 8-12 months. 4 can always fall out. Don't waste it.
It's a little late, but I'll answer anyway. I've been playing since the second half of 3.3 (that is, a year and a half). I would like to point out that after my message I scrolled 11 times (to make it exactly 60). Sethos did not fall out. Lega too. I won’t spend any more money until 4.8 (I don’t see the point). In 4.8 they will try to get Navia, because... Shen He won’t be there + I don’t really need Emilia + I have an excess of 5-star Hydro (Nile, Kokomi, Furina, Mona). Plus I’ll diversify my collection with another attacker/extra. attacker (and the first Geo-attacker, so to speak).
That's good)
Navia is very comfortable. You definitely won't regret it.
I’m wondering why the sky is better than the slingshot, if Sethos’ charge scales are completely from MS, that is, he doesn’t give a damn about the base, and the slingshot and critical mass have the same amount, but the ive is not only not useless, but one of the most useful to him in principle (and ult damage (which is the damage of charged attacks, although game-mechanically the arrows work like regular ones and even trigger Xingqiu’s swords and Ye Lan’s arrows), and regular charged attacks form the basis of his damage, which means the affix in them is very useful, whereas Nebeska gives periodic physical damage, which is almost useless!) Nebeska has always been considered as a stat stick for those who need a high base in addition to crits, but that’s the point! Sethos doesn't need her! Collecting it through an attack is simply nonsense, so why sacrifice a ive for a bunch of affixes for the sake of a base?! I understand why the focus is better - there is not only a base, but also an affix. (And that’s debatable). I understand why aqua is better - it stupidly suffocates with a little more critical mass (although, by the way, ksh is valued more than ku and it is ksh that needs to be collected first, and by a certain threshold ksh should be collected by ku, and with a slingshot the whole thing is much easier to balance, I say as a person who has both weapons and Sethos) and the mythical ability to implement a ive for all enemies with shots that hit right through. (AND THIS IS DISPUTE!) But I refuse to agree that the slingshot is worse than even the near-useless sky, which all that gives Sethos is crits, and in of critical mass it is the same as a slingshot, only the slingshot GIVES SOMETHING BUT CRITS. The fact that a weapon is 3* does not give you the right, out of habit, to lower it below any leg that has at least some crits. Heaven is WORST.
I don't understand why everyone misses the thunder pulse. Sethos can be safely played only against normal attacks; it fully implements ive
Because Slingshot, according to the calculations of almost all content makers, was the best lay except for the Hunting Path? The same Angelo does not even consider other options.
Which bow is better to put on it when playing from charged ones: the first great trick, amos p3, ibis beak p5 or forged from clouds p5?
f***ing slingshot.
amos r3
focus is imba, although if Amos r5 - I would think about it, but clearly not 4* with the presence of legendaries
What about the team: setos/furina/nahida/fischl? Normal pack?
There may not be enough furina hilla in such a pack. It is better to replace Nahid with Yao Yao
Like furina is not a healer?
I'm not saying she's not a healer. I'm saying Hill might not be enough for her. It is better to use her as a sub-deader, and this is exactly when she needs a healer.
In general, you can go the other way and replace Furina with Yao Yao. Thus, get additional MS for Sethos due to dendro synergy
What position is thunder pulse in for setos?
As for me, it doesn’t lose much to Aqua. It has been noted that the Pulse buff works on ult attacks. Perhaps this is a bug
I played with them. very inconvenient. It turns out that you need to determine by eye when you have enough energy for 3 shots. It may not be enough. I'll it to 81 and put it on the shelf.
what is there to define? an ult costs 60 energy, a shot costs 20, we elementary school math and understand that if the ult is charged, then it’s enough, and if it’s not charged, then it’s not enough
You need to play for several hours to get a feel for the character. Then choose a setup for it)
There are some problems with energy. Until I figured out what the reason is, for some reason the ult is not gaining. I’ve been playing for a long time, so I have an understanding of how to build a pack. I press 3 subs, switch, but there is no ult. And it’s not clear to the eye whether right now I have enough for 2 and need to switch, or now balls of energy will fly in and it’ll be enough for the 3rd. When you shoot, the current energy is not visible. Either you have to shoot not through the sight, or wear the codex favonium nahida :_)
Setos simply needs a second electro, preferably Fischl and preferably c6, then there will be no problems with energy. What pack are you using?
in 70% of cases I switch to it without an ult, having already lived through all the subs.
But I shoot with 3 strikes, because... Apparently the energy is being pumped up.
The remaining 30% I shoot 2, but on the 3rd it’s not enough, and I wait 4-5 seconds for it to charge. That's why I say it's uncomfortable)
In my opinion, you made a mistake in Amos...
In general, what will be better: a slingshot, amos or a new event bow?
If you plan to keep your distance, then forged. If you can stay close to enemies, then Slingshot
would a sapp dd battery be better suited for Yae or Fischl's C6?
I think fischl
Definitely Fischl
How to delete a comment... it was duplicated...
What's wrong with being stringless? When playing from the growing season and if you missed the event, it should be a good stick for MS, shouldn't it? Seriously, even the beak of an ibis is mentioned, which gives 160 ms and a not very useful attack, but the stringless one is not mentioned, which gives instead of an attack needed only in an eshka, an affix to this eshka, and not 160 ms, but 165. The bows are approximately equal, while the beak You can no longer get an ibis, but you can get a stringless one.
And the Stringless Bow:
Lol, Sethos c6 is at least stronger than KeKing. What did he forget in category B??? Haahhahahahaha
Where does the info come from? All I see everywhere is that it’s f***ing cheap:
But at the same time, the guides cannot say anything special about its damage. As well as about const. Unless c2 gives noticeable increases.
yes, I think c2 is enough to be stronger
what about Setos Mona Nahida Kirara?
I also want to collect this after the summer event, I’ll listen to it
What about the “King’s Close” bow? I think it’s good if you play Sethos through charged attacks, it gives a bit of MS and ATK power needed for charges
How about a Sethos/Nahida/Bai Zhu/Blue pack?
Sethos is going with an emphasis on MS (forget about attack power altogether), and plays only through Q-shka + you need to give E-shka in time to restore energy to the ult; Nahida enhances electro damage + distributes ms + in resonance with Bai Zhu also increases ms; Bai Zhu heals, gives a shield and enhances reactions with his ive; Blue imposes hydro status for budding and subsequent growing season. It seems to me that the damage will be very decent
*Blue can be replaced with Ye Lan
Almost all of his attacks are charged. Even under ult.
So neither Blue nor Ye Lan will work with him.
A. I checked everything works. Sorry for the wrong information
For Raiden, all attacks in the ult are considered ulti, however, both blue and Ye Lan work. Developers' logic is sometimes difficult to understand
I also thought it didn’t work, because in their ults they literally only write about normal attacks. And judging by how long ago they came out, the developers are not going to correct the descriptions for them
Hitting with regular attacks and being considered damage from regular attacks are two different things. To implement Elan, Blue or Fishli, it is enough to hit with normal attacks, and it doesn’t matter if it’s Normal Attacks, a stance in the Eshka or Ultimate. So everything is ok with the developers’ logic)
I'm sorry, but there's a mistake in Amos' bow
Oh, finally 4, helping to look for curiosities in Sumeru, I approve
he hasn't come out yet...
The beta test has already ended, after the release of the character we will check the information and, if necessary, update the build
