Leader of the Temple of Silence

Sethos is the adoptive grandson of Bamoun, who served as the previous leader of the Temple of Silence. Following the Rite of Duels, he currently leads the Temple of Silence as its newly appointed leader.

He had been with the Temple from a very young age, having been raised within its walls and traditions, and ultimately ended up sharing the same goals as the organization.

Temple of Silence

Empowered by Hermanubis

Sethos is one of the two beings empowered by the Ba Fragments of Hermanubis, with the other being Cyno. This power was given to them during a Temple of Silence experiment that was conducted on them when they were children.

This power is responsible for Cyno's ability to summon Claws, with Sethos having a similar ability as well. These fragments are shards of Hermanubis' power, who used them to defend his people during the early days of the desert.

Participated in the Rite of Duels

In order to settle a long-time conflict between the two Ba Fragment owners, Cyno and Sethos both agreed to the Rite of Duels, an ancient tradition during the conception of the Temple of Silence.

This Duel's goal was to resolve the conflict by allowing the winner to reclaim both of the Ba Fragments, gaining the full remaining power of the shard.

Lost his Hermanubis Fragment to Cyno

During Cyno's Story Quest Act 2, before the Rite of Duels, the consensus was to appoint whoever had the most Ba Fragments as the new leader of the Temple of Silence.

The fight was eventually won by Cyno, and although Sethos lost his Ba Fragment, he was given leadership over the organization by Cyno, who believed that he was better off leading the group due to his familiarity with it.

4.7 Release Date and Characters

Sethos Kit and How to Use

Empowered Charged Shots

Sethos has the ability to charge his Aimed Shots to Level 2, which immobilizes him but allows him to fire piercing Electro bolts to hit multiple foes at once, with the time to charge lowering if it consumes a portion of his Elemental Energy.

This part of his kit is expected to mainly be used when his Elemental Burst is down, allowing him to take precise, deadly shots at enemies from range.

Space-Creating Elemental Skill

Sethos' Elemental Skill makes him dash backwards from the opponent, leaving a small surge of Electro DMG at the dash origin, and regenerating a modest amount of Elemental Energy for him.

Similar to other Aimed Shot users, this is mainly used to create space between him and his opponents, punishing them for getting close and setting him up for his next shot.

Elemental Burst Changes his Playstyle

Sethos' Elemental Burst empowers his Normal Attacks with the same power as his Level 2 Charged Shots, allowing him to fire faster piercing shots by using his Normal Attacks instead.

This also makes Elemental Reactions extremely potent if Sethos is in this mode, significantly raising the effectiveness of reactions like Aggravate.

Sethos Best Builds

Electro Aggravate DPS

Best Weapon	Hunter's Path
Replacement Weapons	1. The First Great Magic 2. Skyward Harp 3. Scion of the Blazing Sun 4. Slingshot
Best Artifacts	Wanderer's Troupe x4 Gilded Dreams x4
Artifact Main Stats	Sands: Elemental Mastery
	Goblet: Electro DMG Bonus
	Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
Artifact Sub Stats	CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, Energy Recharge, Elemental Mastery

As mentioned from the Version 4.7 livestream, Sethos seems to be a unit that benefits off of raw damage and Elemental Mastery at the same time, so building him as an Aggravate DPS can utilize both of these strengths.

For this, we recommend grabbing an Elemental Mastery Sands, then prioritizing his Electro DMG and CRIT stats afterwards.

Sethos Best Artifacts

Sethos Artifact Ranking

Sethos seems to be a unit that capitalizes on Elemental Mastery and reactions to improve his damage, but also gives himself infusion for his own raw damage.

This places artifact sets like Wanderer's Troupe and Gilded Dreams as his top choices to give him his much needed Elemental Reaction potency.

Best Artifacts Ranked

	Artifact	Artifact Bonuses
1st	Wanderer's Troupe	2-PC: Increases Elemental Mastery by 80. 4-PC: Increases Charged Attack DMG by 35% if the character uses a Catalyst or a Bow.
2nd	Gilded Dreams	2-PC: Elemental Mastery +80 4-PC: Within 8s of triggering an Elemental Reaction, the character equipping this will obtain buffs based on the Elemental Type of the other party members. ATK is increased by 14% for each member whose Elemental Type is the same as the equipping character, and EM is increased by 50 for every member with a different Elemental Type. Each of the buffs will count up to 3 characters. This effect can be triggered once every 8s and even when not on the field.
3rd	Thundering Fury	2-PC: Electro DMG Bonus +15% 4-PC: Increases damage caused by Overloaded, Electro-Charged, Superconduct, and Hyperbloom by 40%, and the DMG Bonus conferred by Aggravate is increased by 20%. When Quicked or the aforementioned Elemental Reactions are triggered, Elemental Skill CD is decreased by 1s. Can only occur once every 0.8s

Sethos Best Weapons

Sethos Weapon Ranking

As he scales off of EM but also appears to have raw damage, having a weapon that scales with both CRIT and EM seems to be the way to go.

With that in mind, Hunter's Path is a perfect fit for him due to how well it plays to all of his strengths, with other general CRIT bows not falling too far behind.

Best Weapons for Aggravate DPS

	Weapon	Weapon Information
1st	Hunter's Path	Base ATK: 542 Bonus Stat: CRIT Rate 44.1% Skill Effect: Gain 12% All Elemental DMG Bonus. Obtain the Tireless Hunt effect after hitting an opponent with a Charged Attack. This effect increases Charged Attack DMG by 160% of Elemental Mastery. This effect will be removed after 12 Charged Attacks or 10s. Only 1 instance of Tireless Hunt can be gained every 12s.
2nd	The First Great Magic	Base ATK: 608 Bonus Stat: CRIT DMG 66.2% Skill Effect: DMG dealt by Charged Attacks increased by 16%. For every party member with the same Elemental Type as the wielder (including the wielder themselves), gain 1 Gimmick stack. For every party member with a different Elemental Type from the wielder, gain 1 Theatrics stack. When the wielder has 1/2/3 or more Gimmick stacks, ATK will be increased by 16%/32%/48%. When the wielder has 1/2/3 or more Theatrics stacks, Movement SPD will be increased by 4%/7%/10%.
