Lisa vs Sethos

Stationary Electro nuking vs. mobile bow charging

TL;DR — Quick Pick

Pick Lisa if…

  • When you need DEF shred for the whole team
  • When you want off-field Electro application from a fixed Burst
  • When using a team that doesn't trigger Aggravate as efficiently

Pick Sethos if…

  • When you want a dedicated Aggravate Main DPS
  • When you prefer using Charged Attacks and high-mobility bow play
  • When you have high EM gear and Slingshot (F2P weapon)
Verdict

Sethos is a more modern, cohesive Main DPS for Dendro teams, while Lisa remains a niche support/burst option. Sethos generally offers higher personal damage in Aggravate, but Lisa's DEF shred is a unique utility.

NahidaNahida

With Lisa

Nahida provides the massive Elemental Mastery buff and consistent Dendro application Lisa needs to maximize her Aggravated Skill nukes. Her Skill also marks enemies, allowing Lisa's Burst to hit multiple targets more effectively in spread-out scenarios.

With Sethos

Nahida is essential for Sethos to maintain the Quicken aura needed for his Aggravate-focused charged shots. Her EM sharing also directly increases the flat damage bonus Sethos receives from his passives, significantly boosting his overall DPS.
