Sethos kit leaks

Reliable leaks from prominent leaker Mero have hinted at Sethos's potential kit in the game. It suggests that he may be a main DPS character capable of dealing Electro damage to multiple enemies at once. Here are brief descriptions of his reported abilities:

1) Normal and Charged attacks:

Normal attacks perform three consecutive shots whereas Charged attacks shoot arrows dealing elemental damage, the same as other bow users in the game. However, Sethos's kit featured a level 2 Charged attack called "Shadowpiercing Shot." This unique move fires a special arrow that pierces all the enemies in its path, dealing Electro damage to them all.

Players can see his gameplay in the tweet below.

2) Elemental Skill:

Sethos deals AoE Electro damage to enemies in the vicinity and quickly retreats backward to evade incoming attacks. Additionally, it is expected he may recover energy if the Elemental Skill triggers an Electro-related elemental reaction.

3) Elemental Burst:

After casting his Elemental Burst, Sethos will enter a "Twilight Meditation" state. Under its effects, all of his Normal attacks will be converted into Dusk Bolts which pierce enemies and deal AoE Electro damage to everything in its path. Furthermore, the damage would be considered Charged attack damage and will be buffed, based on his EM.

4) Constellations:

Mero has also leaked all six Constellation of Sethos in Genshin Impact. Let's look at what each one offers:

• C1: Crit Rate of Shadowpiercing Shots is increased by 15%.
• C2: Provides an additional 15% Electro DMG Bonus after the Elemental Skill, Elemental Burst, or A1 passive talent consumes energy.
• C3: Increases Normal attack's level by 3.
• C4: All party members gain 80 EM after Shadowpiercing Shot or Dusk Bolts hit two or more enemies.
• C5: Increases Elemental Burst's level by 3.
• C6: Refunds the energy consumed by the A1 passive talent after Shadowpiercing Shot strikes an enemy.
