Sethos is a 4-star Electro character who wields a Bow in Genshin Impact. His gameplay revolves around flexible DPS options, either through rapid Normal Attacks or powerful Charged Shots, while generating elemental energy via his skill. His Elemental Skill, "Ancient Rite: The Thundering Sands," unleashes AoE Electro damage and helps restore energy when elemental reactions like Aggravate or Electro-Charged are triggered. His Elemental Burst, "Secret Rite: Twilight Shadowpiercer," converts his Normal Attacks into piercing Electro "Dusk Bolts" that pass through enemies and scale with his Elemental Mastery. Lore-wise, Sethos is the leader of the Temple of Silence in Sumeru and was once chosen as a vessel for the deity Hermanubis. Calm, confident, and mysterious, he blends ancient tradition with modern strength to protect the secrets of the desert.

Sethos's Tier & Rating

Overall Tier
A
On-FieldOff-FieldDPSSupportSustain
A-A--

In battle, Sethos is the On-Field Damage Dealer that utilizes Electro reactions and deals damage with a Charged Attack or Normal Attack playstyle. Both of his playstyles deal Charged Attack damage, the only difference is how he attacks. Energy is greatly needed for Sethos since it can reduce his Aimed Shot charging and allow him to infuse his Normal Attacks with Electro.

Basics of Using Sethos (Beginner Guide)

Electro DPS that can use Charged Attacks or Normal Attacks for Damage

Charged Attack or Normal Attack DPS

Sethos is an Electro DPS who can use his Charged Attacks or Normal Attacks to deal damage. Just like most DPS characters, he is reliant on his Elemental Burst for his Normal Attack playstyle but for his Charged Attack style, he only needs a full or almost full Energy bar.

Relies on Elemental Mastery for increasing his Damage

Sethos is a DPS that relies mostly on Elemental Mastery though some ATK is utilized by him as well. This makes him great with Dendro reactions since Elemental Mastery can increase damage dealt by the reactions.

Energy is Important for his Playstyles

Energy is Important for Sethos' Playstyle

▲ Left is Sethos' Passive used for his Charged Attack and Right is the effect of his Elemental Burst.

Both of Sethos' playstyle is reliant on the amount of Energy he has. For his Normal Attack style, he needs his Elemental Burst to infuse his Attacks with Electro. For his Charged Attack playstyle, Sethos can use up to 20 Energy to reduce the charging time of his Aimed Shots.

What is Energy used for?
Normal Attack
Playstyle
- Elemental Burst infuses his Normal Attacks with Electro and deals increased damage based on his Elemental Mastery.
- He is unable to use Charged Attacks when his Elemental Burst is active.
Charged Attack
Playstyle
- Aim charging is reduced by 0.285s based on Sethos' current Energy amount.
- Charging can be reduced to a minimum of 0.3s and a maximum of 20 Energy is counted.
- Shooting the reduced Charged Attack on Level 2 consumes the Energy counted while a Level 1 shot consumes only 50% of it.

Use Elemental Skill to Regenerate Energy

Sethos Elemental Skill Effect

Sethos' Elemental Skill allows him to gain 12 Energy and generate Energy Particles for his Elemental Burst or Charged Attacks. It has a prerequisite of triggering an Electro reaction to do its Energy regen.

Roles & Playstyle Of Sethos and Its Strengths and Weakness

Normal Attack DPS Sethos

Sethos' easiest to play role is as a Normal Attack DPS. He's able to gain Energy from his Elemental Skill, allowing him to somewhat maintain the uptime of his Elemental Burst. With the right setup, he can deal powerful and fast attacks.

Pros and Cons of Normal Attack DPS Sethos

Pros
- Only needs his Elemental Burst to be levelled up.
- Easier to play compared to his Charged Attack DPS style since there's no need to aim.
- A 3-star weapon is one of his best weapons to use since he does not entirely scale on attack and utilizes his Elemental Mastery to increase his Normal Attacks' damage.
Cons
- Needs a 2nd Electro character to funnel Energy for him since he has a low Particle generation.
- Similar to Bow DPS characters, he has trouble dealing with multiple enemies and is better at single target.

Charged Attack DPS Sethos

Sethos' 2nd playstyle is as a Charged Attack DPS. While he doesn't use his Elemental Burst at all in this role, he still needs nearly maxed Energy since his Passive allows him to reduce the charging time of his Charged Attack based on his Energy level. He can deal powerful oneshot damage with Aggravate.

Pros and Cons of Charged Attack DPS Sethos

Pros
- Only needs his Normal Attack skill to be levelled up.
- Great with Aggravate reaction to boost his damage massively.
Cons
- Best weapon is a 5 star weapon that is rarely on rate up.
- If you are bad at aiming, it can be difficult to play this role for Sethos.
- Still is bad against multiple enemies even with piercing attacks.

The other three weapons boost his Elemental Mastery and allows you to use different Artifact sets if you want to boost his CRIT stats instead.

All Weapon List

Sethos Best Artifacts

As a character that prefers Elemental Mastery, Sethos' best set is Wanderer's Troupe because it is able to increase Charged Attack damage along with boosting his Elemental Mastery. Other sets you can use are the ones that can boost his Charged Attack damage and Elemental Mastery. See the recommendations below:

WandererWanderer's Troupe★★★★★
- Best set for boosting both Elemental Mastery and Charged Attack damage.
- Easily gained from doing bosses and world bosses.
Desert Pavilion ChronicleDesert Pavilion Chronicle★★★★ ・
- Has similar performance to Wanderer's Troupe but not recommended to farm for. Use only if you have existing pieces and will use Normal Attack playstyle.
- Charged Attack buff is great for both playstyles while only Normal Attack playstyle can benefit from the ATK speed buff.
Gilded DreamsGilded Dreams★★★★ ・
- Great for boosting Elemental Mastery.
- Since it has no damage bonus buffs, using a weapon with damage bonus would work better than an EM weapon.
Gilded DreamsAny EM set

★★★ ・ ・
- Good 2-pc set effects if you are still farming for Sethos' full set.
- Thundering Fury or Marechaussee Hunter are good 2-pc sets for Damage Bonus buff.

For sub-stats, it's best to prioritize CRIT stats and Energy Recharge. Energy Recharge is to ensure the consistency of Sethos being able to use his Elemental Burst or have enough Energy to buff his attack in Charged Attack playstyle. But another Electro character who can funnel Energy to Sethos could be enough, lowering the priority for Energy Recharge.

Sethos' best team is an aggravate team with Xilonen as an Elemental Damage booster. Her ability to greatly increase Elemental Damage dealt helps a lot for Sethos. With Nahida as the Dendro DPS and EM buffer, Fischl provides enough Energy for Sethos for both Charged and Normal Attack playstyle.

Best Teams For Sethos

Team Rotation of Sethos and Combos

Sethos Team Rotation for Normal Attack Playstyle

Normal Attack Playstyle Rotation for Sethos
1. Activate support abilities.
2. (If Sethos is at Constellation 6) Use Charged Attack. Otherwise, use his Elemental Skill then Elemental Burst
3. Use Normal Attacks and Dash or Jump cancels until Elemental Burst expires.
4. Use Elemental Skill to gain Energy and generate Particles.

Sethos' basic rotation for his Normal Attack playstyle is similar to Burst-reliant DPS characters. Animation cancels can be used during his Elemental Burst so that he can deal more damage within its duration.

Optimal Combo for Normal Attack Playstyle Sethos

Recommended Combo
(If C6) Charged Attack → Elemental Skill → Elemental Burst → Normal Attack Combo: [Normal Attack x2 → Dash/Jump Cancel] x 4~5 → Elemental Skill

Doing his Normal Attack Combo 4 times is the baseline for Sethos. You can use more Normal Attacks after that but if you have supports with a shorter buff duration, 4 times is fine.

Basic Sethos Team Rotation for Charged Attack Playstyle

Basic Charged Attack Playstyle for Sethos
1. Activate support abilities.
2. Use a Charged Attack to gain Scorching Sandshade to buff his next Charged Attacks.
3. Use Elemental Skill to gain Energy to shorten the charging time for his Charged Attacks.
4. Use Charged Attacks to deal damage.

Sethos' Charged Attack playstyle is simple in how it should be executed but aiming at fast moving enemies can make it difficult to execute in time especially since Sethos' Scorching Sandshade buff has a short duration of 5s after a Charged Attack was used. This buff is canceled after 4 buffed Charged Attacks are used and can only be gained again after 15 seconds.

Optimal Combo for Charged Attack Playstyle Sethos

Recommended Combo
Charged Attack x1 (if C6, do two Charged Attacks) → Elemental Skill → Charged Attack x2~3 → (Optional) Elemental Skill for Energy.

Sethos' optimal combo for Charged Attack playstyle has no need for animation cancels since his Charging time is fast enough as long as he has enough Energy. C6 will change his combo a bit, with his 3rd Charged Attack after his first Skill usage not being buffed. You can choose to skip the 3rd Charged Attack and use his Skill instead for a faster rotation.

Elemental Skill, Burst and Abilities Guide for Sethos

How To Use Sethos?

An Electro Dps With Two Playstyles

Charged Attack or Normal Attack DPS

Sethos is an On-Field DPS that can use two types of playstyles. The first is a Normal Attack playstyle where he uses his Elemental Burst to infuse his Normal Attacks with Electro while making him unable to use Charged Attacks. The second playstyle uses Charged Attacks with fast charging time that consumes his Energy.

Use Elemental Burst For Normal Attack Playstyle

A similar character with this playstyle of spamming Normal Attacks is Yoimiya. For Sethos, his Elemental Burst is what infuses his Normal Attacks with Electro, allowing him to deal laser-like rapid attacks that can pierce through enemies.

Use Charged Attacks For Charged Attack Playstyle

2 Level Charged Shot Of Sethos

The Charged Attack playstyle for Sethos allows him to use Level 2 Charged Attacks similar to other Charged Attack Bow DPS. His Passive allows him to speed up the charging time, making him consume up to 20 Energy once the sped up Charged Attack is shot.

Effect Of Black Kite's Enigma
- Per 1 Energy of Setos, decrease the charged attack of Sethos by -0.285 seconds.
 └Max of 20 energy is tallied. (shortens it from 6 sec→0.3 sec)
- Once you shoot the second level Charged Attack energy will be drained.
- If it is the 1st level aimed shot, only 50% of the count.

Elemental Skill Gives Energy

When Sethos triggers an Elemental Reaction with his Elemental Skill, he will gain 12 Energy. Along with the Energy orbs generated, he can gain enough Energy for one sped up Charged Attack. This Skill is a melee attack and he needs to be near the enemy to trigger a reaction.

Both Playstyles Deal Charged Attack Damage and has increased Damage based on EM

In both playstyles, while they differ from how the Attack appear, Sethos still deals Charged Attack damage in both. This makes his weapon of choice in both playstyles similar if not the same. For example, Slingshot is not great for his Charged Attack playstyle while for his Normal Attack playstyle, it works great.

Should You Pull for Sethos's Constellation Or Best Weapon?

Sethos' Constellations are Good to Have

Constellation Priority
C2 > C5 > C6

C2 is a Good Stopping Point

Like any on-field DPS, Sethos' constellations serve to enhance his personal damage. C2 is ideal since he easily gets an additional 30% electro damage bonus from it, while C5 and C6 allows him to reach his full potential as a DPS character. He will still perform fairly well at C0, so while a higher constellation level on Sethos is good to have, it's not really necessary.
