Sethos is going to be a new 4-star Electro unit that will appear during Version 4.7 and is expected to take the field as a Main DPS, offering a similar playstyle to Cyno.

In this article, we’ll cover all the leaks regarding his full kit, from skills breakdown, to passive, and finally constellations.

Sethos Full Kit


Sethos is definitely an interesting addition to the Electro line-up, however, as you’ll see below he appears to be somewhat underwhelming and currently his potential is hard to gauge just from his skills alone.

He seems like he will be a good addition to Aggrevate teams, and will work in a similar way to Cyno. However, those who have been playing for some time know that Cyno did end up being one of the flops of Sumeru, and even now is still considered as not a great character. 

Whether Sethos will manage to find a place on some teams as a Main DPS, or simply be forgotten as a character that is simply fun to play depends on the person, and how things will unfold after Sethos’ release.

For now, you can check out his full skill breakdown below and judge for yourselves:
