Artifacts for best Sethos build in Genshin Impact

The best artifacts Sethos can use in Genshin Impact are listed below:

• 4-pc Wanderer's Troupe
• 4-pc Gilded Dreams
• 4-pc Thundering Fury
• 2-pc Wanderer's Troupe + 2-pc Thundering Fury
• 2-pc Thundering Fury + 2-pc Gilded Dreams

Wanderer's Troupe, Thundering Fury, and Gilded Dreams are the three best artifact sets Sethos can utilize. They provide Elemental Mastery, an increase to Electro Damage, and buffs to reaction damage. These greatly benefit Sethos' damage output.

The 4-pc Wanderer's Troupe artifact will be good for this unit, regardless of the team composition. You can get more value from a 4-pc Gilded Dreams if you have the perfect team composition that can boost Aggravate damage.

A 4-pc Thundering Fury is only a good option for team compositions focused on Hyperbloom.

A 2-pc Thundering Fury with a 2-pc Gilded Dreams, or Wanderer's Troupe, is a much better way of utilizing the Thundering Fury artifact set. For the artifact stats, you can focus on getting the following for each one:

• Sands: Elemental Mastery
• Circlet: Crit Rate or Crit Damage
• Goblet: Electro Damage bonus

Weapons for best Sethos build in Genshin Impact

Listed below are the best bow options for Sethos:

• Slingshot - BiS + Best F2P option
• Hunter's Path
• Cloudforged - Best for Hyperbloom team comps
• Aqua Simulacra

Slingshot is, surprisingly, Sethos' best weapon. This should be good news for free-to-play players. The stats it provides, combined with its bonus effect, synergize exceptionally well with Sethos. Hunter's Path is the closest competitor to Slingshot and is a great option if you want a 5-star weapon.

The upcoming event weapon, Cloudforged, has stats tailor-made for Sethos. However, its viability is limited to Hyperbloom team comps, which would mean sacrificing Fischl, his best support in almost every team comp. Aqua Simulacra is another decent choice for Sethos, as it provides good damage bonuses and a sizeable increase to his health.

Talents priority for best Sethos build in Genshin Impact

Listed below is the talent priority for Sethos:

1. Normal Attack
2. Elemental Burst
3. Elemental Skill

Most of Sethos' damage comes from his basic attacks, making it a no-brainer to level it up quickly. His Elemental Burst also helps him dish out a large amount of damage, which makes it the second priority. Finally, his Elemental Skill isn't as important as his Normal Attack or Elemental Burst. This is why it's the final talent you should level up.

Best Sethos team comps in Genshin Impact

Sethos fits best in Aggravate team comps. You can try experimenting with Hyperbloom or Quickbloom team comps as an alternative, but they do not stack up well compared to Aggravate teams. Here are the best team comps for Sethos:

• Sethos + Fischl + Kazuha + Nahida
• Sethos + Fischl + Kazuha + Kirara
• Sethos + Fischl + Zhongli + Nahida
• Sethos + Fischl + Sucrose + Kirara
• Sethos + Nahida + Dendro Traveller + Yelan (Hyperbloom)
• Sethos + Fischl + Xingqiu + Nahida (Quickbloom)

Fischl is a must in any team comp except Hyperbloom. She provides great damage and is an excellent battery for Sethos to recharge energy even quicker. Zhongli is a great option for any bow character due to his shielding. Nahida and Kirara are the best Dendro characters to use with the latter being a good alternative to Zhongli. Kazuha or Sucrose are good options for Anemo characters.
