Today, we're bringing you a preview analysis guide on Sethos. Sethos is a brand new 4-star Electro Bow user, positioned as a field main DPS, with the primary method of damage output being the special normal attack after activating Q. Below, we'll provide a detailed introduction to Sethos.
Sethos skill analysis
1. Normal attack
Performs multiple shots with a bow, like most bow characters, the normal attack isn't particularly special. The main difference is that Sethos's charged attack can be a two-stage charge. After completing the two-stage charge, he can fire a Piercing Shadow Arrow that pierces through enemies, dealing Electro damage to all enemies in its path. Once the Piercing Shadow Arrow has been charged, Sethos will be unable to move. Additionally, Sethos can reduce the time needed for the two-stage charge based on his current elemental energy.
2. Elemental skills
Sethos inflicts Electro elemental AoE (Area of Effect) damage on enemies in front of him and quickly retreats. If this attack triggers an Electro-related elemental reaction with the enemies, Sethos will regain a certain amount of elemental energy.
This skill doesn't have high damage, it's a skill for retreating and energy recovery, primarily aimed at accumulating energy to quickly activate his Elemental Burst.
3. Elemental burst
Upon activating his Elemental Burst, Sethos enters a special state: his normal attacks will fire Mingshen Arrows, which come with automatic elemental infusion and have some piercing capability. Additionally, the damage dealt is increased based on his own Elemental Mastery. During the Elemental Burst, he cannot aim and shoot; the damage caused by the Mingshen Arrows is considered as charged attack damage, and the effect of the Elemental Burst will be lifted when Sethos is switched out.
His Elemental Burst is Sethos's main source of damage output, and it's clear that Sethos is a main DPS character who stays in the field after activating his Q skill. The buff will be lost if he is switched out, so one should not switch characters casually after activating Q.
Sethos's talents’ introduction
1. Talent - The Secret of the Black Kite
When aiming for a charged shot, the current elemental energy of Sethos will reduce the charging time. When fired, if it's a Piercing Shadow Arrow, the elemental energy considered will be consumed; if it's an arrow charged for one stage, then 50% of the elemental energy considered will be consumed.
2. Talent - The Gift of the Sand King
Sethos gains the "Scorching Mirage" effect, which increases the damage dealt by Piercing Shadow Arrows, with the increase based on Sethos's Elemental Mastery.
3. Talent - The Sign of the Monkey Moon
Displays the locations of the regional specialties in the Sumeru area on the mini-map.
Sethos Strength Analysis
Let's summarize Sethos's overall strength level with his advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages
● As a 4-star character, the cost to obtain him is low, and his constellations are also easier to acquire.
● He doesn't require a high demand for critical hit rate and damage, but instead needs a certain amount of Elemental Mastery, making it easier to graduate in artifacts.
● The E skill has an additional energy recovery, greatly reducing the pressure of charging the Elemental Burst.
Disadvantages
● Being a main DPS character activated by Q, he has no support capabilities from the background. Switching characters after activating the Elemental Burst will lose the BUFF, and he is very similar to a certain Electro long-duration main DPS character, showing no innovation in mechanics.
● Although the arrows have inherent piercing ability, how much effect they can actually achieve is still questionable. After all, monsters won't stand in a row for you to shoot in real combat. If the piercing effect is not ideal, then it's not much different from being able to target only one enemy.
Conclusion: If Sethos does not have a significant highlight in damage multiplier values, he is likely to be a 4-star "little Cyno," as his mechanics are too similar to Cyno. Therefore, the recommendation for obtaining: just try your luck when drawing.
Ascension materials
Sethos will need a variety of specific materials to complete his ascension process up to the 6th level. From the second ascension onward, each level-up grants him Elemental Mastery, culminating in a total of 96 Bonus Elemental Mastery at the 6th ascension. The cumulative expenditure for all levels of ascension is as follows:
