Sethos, is an Electro bow user from Sumeru, who becomes playable in version 4.7 update ofGenshin Impact, excels at unleashing devastating charged attacks and amplifying his damage with potent Electro Elemental Reactions. However,maximizing his DPS potentialrequires careful weapon selection that caters to his specific stat needs.
Generally speaking, Sethos will benefit from stats such as Crit DMG, Crit Rate as well as Elemental Mastery, while also benefitting further from effects that can increase his Charged ATK DMG or Elemental Reactions further. Luckily, there are many options that can suit for him, eventhough many of his best options can be considered resource heavy, considering that they are 5-star limited weapons. Here are the best bows for Sethos inGenshin Impact:
7Scion of the Blazing Sun
Players who purchase Battle Pass will find utility inScion of the Blazing Sunas one of thebetter 4-star options. This weapon increases Sethos’s Crit Rate and enhances the damage of his Charged Attacks. While not as powerful as the top contenders, it presents a solid alternative for players seeking to boost his own DPS without needing to rely on Elemental Reactions much, while also being less heavy on resources.
6Cloudforged
For players seeking an entirely F2P friendly option,Cloudforged, the upcoming free event weapon, emerges as a fantastic choice. This 4-star bow significantly increasesSethos’sElemental Mastery, a crucial stat for maximizing the damage of hisElectro reactions like Aggravate. It’s the perfect selection for players who want to build him with the lowest investment as far as Primogems go, however, players will need to pay more attention to minmaxing his Crit Values through his artifacts.
5Polar Star
Polar Starisn’t a directly excellent option as far as 5-star variants go, as it focuses on increasing his Elemental Burst / Elemental Skill rather than Charged ATK DMG, but can still work decent for a stat stick, combining some Crit Rate boost as well as ATK, which can come in handy since part of Sethos’s kit still scales with ATK beside Elemental Mastery. Overall however, it lacks behind other 5-star options, despite being relatively better than 4-star weapons.
4Aqua Simulacra
Aqua Simulacrais a decent option overall considering its high Crit DMG value, as well as thanks to it increasing the DMG of the character, being a good generic weapon option for him. However, the HP bonus is not particularly beneficial for Sethos except for the added survivability, nor the off-field aspect of this bow, which still makes it much more suited for characters like Yelan, who can use it to its fullest extent.
3Skyward Harp
Skyward Harpoffers a reliable alternative for players seeking a well-balanced weapon. This 5-star bow serves as a dependable stat stick, providing consistent increases in both Crit Rate and Crit DMG, while also dealing some AOE Physical ATK. While it may not specifically target Sethos’s unique strengths like Charged Attacks or Elemental Mastery, it delivers a solid overall boost to his offensive capabilities, making it a strong contender, especially considering that it’s not a limited 5-star option. As such, it is also more accessible than most of the weapons on this list, even for F2P players.
2The First Great Magic
The First Great Magicis one of the best options for Sethos, thanks to not only having a solid Crit DMG stat boost, but also increasing the DMG of his Charged ATK’s. Furthermore, while not as relevant as the above two benefits, it can also icnrease his ATK, as well as his Movement Speed, which can come in handy in certian situations.
1Hunter’s Path
Hunter’s Pathis the best option for Sethos, offering an unparalleled stat synergy with his kit. This bow boasts both a significant Elemental DMG Bonus and a substantial Charged Attack DMG Bonus, allowing Sethos to benefit from his most useful DMG resources being Charged Attack and Elemental DMG of any kind. On top of it, the high Crit Rate stat also helps him with optimizing his build.
