Summary
WhenGenshin Impactwas first launched, the number of weapons in the game was quite low, which made it difficult to find a suitable weapon for every character. However, this problem has largely been solved with time as you can now find a decent option on every character since there is a healthy variety.
Sethosis a four-star Electro character in the game, and he can be quite decent if you have the right weapon for him. Thankfully, most of his options can be acquired for free, and there’s a high chance that you might already have them.
7King’s Squire
King’s Squireis a four-star craftable that you can acquire by progressing in the Aranara world quest in the Sumeru region. You have to get past quite a lot of quests to unlock the Aranara Shop, and you’ll then have to purchase it there. However, once you have the blueprint, you can easily get it to Refinement Five.
Apart from giving you a ton of ATK, this weapon also provides up to 140 extra Elemental Mastery whenever your Skill or Burst is used. This is quite massive for Sethos since his Charged Attacks have a direct scaling with Elemental Mastery.
6Hamayumi
From one craftable weapon with ATK Percent as the secondary stat to another,Hamayumican be crafted in the Inazuma region, and you don’t have to go through all the hoops to get this one. As soon as you place this weapon on Sethos, he instantly gets an increased Charged Attack DMG by 12 percent.
This is the best stat you can have on him since his attacks in the Burst are also considered a Charged Attack, so most of his damage comes from these. Moreover, you get a double damage bonus if your Energy is at 100 percent, which might be possible with a ton of Energy Recharge.
5Ibis Piercer
Ibis Pierceris another free-to-play weapon in Genshin Impact, but it was exclusively available only during a certain event. If you don’t already have this bow, there’s unfortunately no way to get it now. However, if you do have it, it can give you up to 80 Elemental Mastery after hitting the enemy with a Charged Attack.
The best part is that this effect can stack up to two times, taking it up to 160. Overall, it perfectly fits Sethos' play style, but you might have some trouble building a good Crit Ratio on him.
4The First Great Magic
From all the F2P-friendly weapons directly to a limited five-star weapon,The First Great Magiccan only be acquired whenLyney is featured on the banners. This weapon easily solves the problem of your Crit Ratio as it single-handedly provides a whopping 66.2 percent Crit DMG at the maximum level.
Sethos' Charged Attack DMG is also increased by 16 percent, and he can get some ATK or Movement SPD bonus based on the elements of your party members. Unfortunately, both of these stats are relatively low priority for him.
3Slingshot
Heading back to the lower rarity weapon, what could be better for a four-star character than having one of his best weapon choices be a three-star? Even if you’ve pulled just a bit in thegacha system of Genshin Impact, you’ll easily be able to get this weapon to Refinement Five.
It provides you with a whopping 31.2 percent Crit Rate while also increasing your Charged Attack DMG by 60 percent as long as these attacks take less than 0.3 seconds to hit enemies. This is quite easy for Sethos since his normal attacks in the Burst are considered Charged Attacks.
2Cloudforged
Sethos was firstreleased alongside Clorindein the Version 4.7 update, and this bow was also given to everyone for free during an event in the same one. If you’re lucky enough to have it, this currently serves as a great choice for Sethos, especially if you want to have his Charged Attacks that consume Energy as the main source of damage.
If you’re planning to use him as asub-DPS while using his Burst,Slingshotwill provide more value.
Whenever Sethos' Energy is reduced, this weapon gives him 80 Elemental Mastery, stacking up to two times. This goes with the 165 EM that he already gets from the secondary stat, making it much easier to build this character.
1Hunter’s Path
Before mentioning anything else about the weapon, the 44.1 percent Crit Rate provided by it already makes it a great choice. With this massive Crit Rate, you can easily have an 80 to 200 Crit Ratio on Sethos. Apart from that, it also gives you a 12 percent Elemental DMG bonus at Refinement One.
It also provides you a special effect after hitting an enemy with a Charged Attack, which increases this type of attack’s damage based on your Elemental Mastery. Since you already build a lot of this stat on Sethos, it works out perfectly, making it the best weapon for him.
