Fischl
Support
Zhongli
Sustain
In quicken teams, Sethos can be played either with Normal Attacks or Charged Attack playstyles. Fischl is your best Electro character to use because of her damage, elemental application and also energy generation. Shielding is also very important to Sethos to prevent him being knocked around during Charged Attacks.
Sethos functions as a specialized Quicken DPS, utilizing his rapid Electro shots to trigger frequent Aggravate hits. He benefits immensely from the EM buffs and consistent Dendro application provided by his teammates.
Nahida provides the strongest and most consistent Dendro application in the game, ensuring permanent Quicken uptime for Sethos. Her Burst shares a massive EM buff that directly scales Sethos's Aggravate damage.
Fischl acts as a battery for Sethos while contributing massive off-field damage via Aggravate-procced A4 strikes. Her Electro resonance with Sethos further assists with his energy management.
Zhongli's shield provides the necessary interruption resistance for Sethos to fire his charged shots safely. His universal RES shred further amplifies the team's total Aggravate and raw Electro damage.
Talents & Constellations
Talents
Sethos performs a sequence of Bow-based Normal Attacks.
Gathers the might of thunder, dealing AoE Electro DMG 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.
Perform a secret rite, entering the "Twilight Meditation" state, during which Sethos's Normal Attacks will be converted into enemy-piercing Dusk Bolts: Deal Electro DMG to opponents in its path, with DMG increased based on Sethos's Elemental Mastery. Sethos cannot perform Aimed Shots while in this state. DMG dealt by Dusk Bolts is considered Charged Attack DMG. This effect will be canceled when Sethos leaves the field. The archives of the Temple of Silence preserve many tomes left behind by Akhtamun, from the era of King Deshret. Many secret rituals of great power are recorded within, but even among the Temple of Silence, very few could master them.
