Genshin Impact Sethos kit

Sethos is a 4-Star Electro character who uses a bow and scales off Elemental Mastery, and is best used in a main DPS role or as an Electro 'Battery' to generate particles for other Electro party members.

Here's a summary of Sethos' kit in Genshin Impact:

• Element: Electro.
• Rarity: 4-Star.
• Weapon: Bow.
• Normal Attack: Royal Reed Archery.
• Elemental Skill: Ancient Rite - The Thundering Sands.
• Elemental Burst: Secret Rite - Twilight Shadowpiercer.
• Passive one: Black Kite's Enigma - When aiming, the bow's charging time is decreased by 0.285 seconds, based on each point of Sethos' current Elemental Energy. Charging time can be reduced to a minimum of 0.3 seconds through this method, and a maximum of 20 Energy can be tallied. If a Shadowpiercing Shot is fired, the corresponding amount of tallied Elemental Energy is consumed, and if it is a Charge Level 1 shot, then 50% of the corresponding amount of tallied Elemental Energy is consumed.
• Passive two: The Sand King's Boon - Sethos gains the Scorching Sandshade effect, increasing the damage dealt by Shadowpiercing Shots by 700% of Sethos' Elemental Mastery. The Scorching Sandshade effect is cancelled after four Shadowpiercing Shots strike opponents, or five seconds after a Shadowpiercing Shot first hits an opponent. When a Shadowpiercing Shot affected by Scorching Sandshade first hits an opponent, Sethos regains Scorching Sandshade after 15 seconds.
• Exploration bonus: Thoth's Revelation - Displays the location of nearby resources unique to Sumeru on the minimap.

Sethos Normal Attack - Royal Reed Archery

Sethos performs up to three consecutive shots with his bow if tapping the normal attack button. Holding it down instead makes Sethos perform a more precise aimed shot with increased damage.

While aiming, the power of Electro accumulates on the arrowhead before the arrow is fired. The arrow then has different effects based on how long the energy has been charged.

At Charge Level 1, Sethos fires an arrow carrying the power of lightning that deals Electro damage, and at Charge Level 2, he fires a Shadowpiercing Shot which can pierce enemies, and deals Electro damage to enemies along its path. Keep in mind that after the Shadowpiercing Shot is fully charged, Sethos can't move around.

Finally, as with most archer plunging attacks, Sethos fires a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AOE (Area of Effect) damage upon impact.

Sethos Elemental Skill - Ancient Rite: The Thundering Sands

Sethos gathers the might of thunder, dealing AOE Electro damage to enemies in front and quickly retreating. If this attack triggers Electro-Charged, Superconduct, Overloaded, Quicken, Aggravate, Hyperbloom, or Electro Swirl reactions, Sethos recovers a certain amount of Elemental Energy.

Sethos Elemental Burst - Secret Rite: Twilight Shadowpiercer

Sethos performs a secret rite, entering the Twilight Meditation state, during which his normal attacks are converted into enemy-piercing Dusk Bolts. These deal Electro damage to opponents in their path, with damage increasing based on Sethos' Elemental Mastery. Sethos can't perform aimed shots while in this state, and damage dealt by Dusk Bolts is considered charged attack damage. This effect is cancelled when Sethos leaves the field.

Genshin Impact Sethos Talent materials

To get the most out of using Sethos, you will have to level his skills up by using Talent materials, which vary from character-to-character.

You'll need to farm a lot of Faded Red Satin and Praxis materials (if you don't already have them) to fully upgrade his capabilities.

As Sethos has three Talents, you will have to spend three times the Talent materials listed below to fully upgrade all of his abilities, which we've also detailed below the table.

Here's what Sethos Talent materials you need to improve one of his abilities:

Genshin Impact Sethos Ascension materials

Just like Talents, you need to use Sethos Ascension materials to upgrade his health, attack, defence, and critical hit effectiveness.

You'll need to farm a lot of Trishiraite and Faded Red Satin materials for Sethos (if you don't already have them) to fully upgrade his capabilities.

Unlike Talent materials, you only need to spend the below Ascension materials once to fully raise Sethos to his highest character level. There is also Acquaint Fate rewarded for reaching certain Ascension levels. You can spend this Fate on the standard and beginner Banners to Wish for characters and weapons.

Here's what Sethos Ascension materials and Mora you need to upgrade her for each Ascension level:

Sethos Ascension level	Sethos Ascension materials	Mora cost	Ascension reward
Level 20	x1 Vajrada Amethyst Sliver, x3 Trishiraite, x3 Faded Red Satin	20,000	x1 Acquaint Fate
Level 40	x3 Vajrada Amethyst Fragment, x2 Cloudseam Scale, x10 Trishiraite, x15 Faded Red Satin	40,000	None
Level 50	x6 Vajrada Amethyst Fragment, x4 Cloudseam Scale, x20 Trishiraite, x12 Trimmed Red Silk	60,000	x1 Acquaint Fate
Level 60	x3 Vajrada Amethyst Chunk, x8 Cloudseam Scale, x30 Trishiraite, x18 Trimmed Red Silk	80,000	None
Level 70	x6 Vajrada Amethyst Chunk, x12 Cloudseam Scale, x45 Trishiraite, x12 Rich Red Brocade	100,000	x1 Acquaint Fate
Level 80	x6 Vajrada Amethyst Gemstone, x20 Cloudseam Scale, x60 Trishiraite, x24 Rich Red Brocade	120,000	None

• x6 Vajrada Amethyst Gemstone
• x9 Vajrada Amethyst Fragment
• x9 Vajrada Amethyst Chunk
• x18 Faded Red Satin
• x30 Trimmed Red Silk
• x36 Rich Red Brocade
• x46 Cloudseam Scale
• x168 Trishiraite
• 420,000 Mora

Genshin Impact Sethos Constellations

By getting duplicates of Sethos from wishing on Banners that include him, you will receive his Stella Fortuna. This material allows you to unlock Constellation levels, with each upgrade either improving an existing Talent or Passive ability.

Here are all of Sethos' Constellations in Genshin Impact:

• Sealed Shrine's Spiritsong (C1): The Crit Rate of Shadowpiercing Shot is increased by 15%.
• Papyrus Scripture of Silent Secrets (C2): Sethos gains a 15% Electro damage bonus for 10 seconds when consuming Elemental Energy through aimed shots after the Black Kite's Enigma Passive Talent is unlocked, and when regaining Elemental Energy by triggering Elemental Reaction via his Elemental Skill and when using his Elemental Burst. This damage bonus can stack up to two times, counted independently.
• Ode to the Moonrise Sage (C3): Increases the Level of Sethos' normal attack by three, with a maximum upgrade level of 15.
• Beneficent Plumage (C4): When Shadowpiercing Shot or Dusk Bolt strike two or more opponents, all nearby party members gain 80 Elemental Mastery for 10 seconds.
• Record of the Desolate God's Burning Sands (C5): Increases the Level of Sethos' Elemental Burst by three, with a maximum upgrade level of 15.
• Pylon of the Sojourning Sun Temple (C6): After Shadowpiercing Shot strikes an opponent, the Elemental Energy consumed by the Black Kite's Enigma Passive Talent is returned. This effect can be triggered once every 15 seconds.

Good luck levelling up Sethos in Genshin Impact!
