Sethos’s kit

Elemental Skill

Ancient Rite: The Thundering Sands

Gathers the might of thunder, dealing AoE Electro DMG and quickly retreating. If this attack triggers Electro-Charged, Lunar-Charged, Superconduct, Stellar-Conduct, Overloaded, Quicken, Aggravate, Hyperbloom, or Electro Swirl reactions, Sethos recovers a certain amount of Elemental Energy. "The God indwelt Priest, the Magi who turned pits to springs, the singers of the sea of sand still spread their stories... But I know those are not legends, for they are our ancestors."

Elemental Burst

Secret Rite: Twilight Shadowpiercer

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.

Passive Talents

  • Black Kite's Enigma

    When Aiming, the charging time is decreased by 0.285s based on each point of Sethos's current Elemental Energy. Charging time can be reduced to a minimum of 0.3s through this method and a maximum of 20 Energy can be tallied. If a Shadowpiercing Shot is fired, consume the tallied amount of Elemental Energy; if it is a Charge Level 1 shot, then consume 50% of the tallied amount of Elemental Energy.

  • The Sand King's Boon

    Sethos gains the "Scorching Sandshade" effect, increasing the DMG dealt by Shadowpiercing Shots by 700% of Sethos's Elemental Mastery. The Scorching Sandshade effect will be canceled when any of the following conditions are met: · 5s after a Shadowpiercing Shot first hits an opponent. · After 4 Shadowpiercing Shots strike opponents. When a Shadowpiercing Shot affected by Scorching Sandshade first hits an opponent, Sethos will regain Scorching Sandshade after 15s.

  • Thoth's Revelation

    Displays the location of nearby resources unique to Sumeru on the mini-map.
