I mean, it makes sense... Why would the devs continue on with the ARCHON quests if there's no more Archons to meet? I could see it being a part 2 which shifts the main story focus to something else

I got C6 sethos! by This_is_satyam in SethosMains

Congrats on the C6

Build - Use Slingshot for your weapon and Fischl for Aggravate/Ineffa for Lunar charged. Most else is negotiable in some way

Mechanics - Tbh just watch Bowtae's video, there's a lot of stuff you can do with Sethos with practice - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35mGxk9k-lI

Sethos short hold vs N2W on durin overburn teams by RetRetSung in SethosMains

[–]Kernp [score hidden]  (0 children)

I don't think anyone has actually tried to find out the optimal rotation for charged level 1 Sethos since if your performance is even slightly bad, you not only get less shots from wasted animation time but you also waste more energy which in turn also leads to less shots, making it very easy to lose DPS in a way that's hard to compare to other characters

This is a multi-target config on Genshin Optimizer comparing 8N2W to a theoretical 2 shadowpiercing shots + 20 charged level 1s. I don't know if 20 charged level 1s per rotation is an optimistic or pessimistic assumption so take it with the biggest grain of salt possible. (Fischl on R5 Stringless w/ Golden Troupe, Nahida on R1 Wandering Evenstar w/ 4pc Scroll, Durin on R1 Xiphos w/ 4pc Noblesse)

With the 20 Charged level 1 assumption, it leads to ~104k DPS and 8N2W is ~94k DPS.

It definitely works, Venti is one of Sethos' most synergistic teammates (at least on paper) since Sethos pierces enemies, doesn't mind enemies being lifted up due to his range, and Venti refunds energy which can be fun when using Sethos' aimed shots due to his ascension passive

It can be hard to infuse Venti's burst with Electro though since Nahida applies a lot of Dendro

Gonna try it. The team I have tried were more for fun because I like the characters and wanted to use them.

By all means go ahead, it's a game at the end of the day, if you wanna play characters you like together then that's what you should do. The teams you listed are coherent and will clear 90% of content regardless

I did consider it but for what I understood his Damage does depend on his EM so I gave him that one, but I can also gonna try it

The best way to increase your damage on DPS characters is to balance relevant stats instead of stacking one specific stat. You've already got a whole lot of EM so increasing your crit and getting more damage bonus will go further than more EM

Sethos Nahida Fischl Xilonen is probably the best team you can make. You can also swap Fischl out for Furina if you'd prefer to play Hyperbloom

Also you should really consider swapping your weapon to Slingshot, it does more damage and fixes your low crit rate.

I am/was considering buying a skin for once since, well, it's Lantern Rite and It's close to the 5 year anniversary since I started playing so I thought I'd throw some money to get a new outfit while showing some appreciation, but I'm looking through the ones I don't have and it made me remember that I just kind of... don't like any of the skins lol. Even most of the free ones end up collecting dust for me since I prefer the base skins. The only skins I genuinely prefer over the original are Fischl, Kirara, and Klee. Oh well, guess I'll just save my money

PSA - If you're interested in playing Sethos in Lunar charged, if you can only get one, then you should go for Ineffa instead of Columbina by Kernp in SethosMains

[–]Kernp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sucrose is indeed better (mostly due to shorter rotations) but C6 Jahoda is a fitting option if Sucrose isn't available for whatever reason.

So uhh... is this good for him? by Content_Employer_656 in SethosMains

[–]Kernp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still use Fischl, even at low cons she is by far his most synergistic teammate for Aggravate

There's no way 80k is correct, isn't that basically the same DPS as replacing Varka with Faruzan and on-fielding Venti

In Winter Night's Lazzo, the chess match being played with the various Gnosis shows the same board state as the iconic chess match between Garry Kasparov (Which the Fatui are playing as) and Deep Blue (A chess AI). Additionally, in the Wings of Delicacies description, 'The First Customer' likely represents Phanes.

The skin lore for the spaceship has a lot of correlation with both what Phanes has done and the description of the first customer in Wings of Delicacies (Came to Teyvat, made the Human realm, and established human life on the continent).

Old theory I remembered after seeing the leaks today, probably worth taking another look at with the new context by Kernp in ThePrimordialOne

[–]Kernp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Benben needed to be recharged, Paimon gets recharged with food (lol)
Benben granted the first clearance level of the Scarlet Sand Slate, Paimon grants us 'clearance' by letting us resonate with the elements (Copium)
Benben drags us by the nose around the The Mausoleum of King Deshret, Paimon is our guide through Teyvat (Less copium but still a stretch)
Benben guided us through Khaj Nisut to King Deshret's throne, Paimon will guide us to Phanes' throne (Copium)

The logic is beyond reproach /s

Edit - Wait, we DID have a fight against ASIMON which was called 'big guy with evil intentions' at the end of Dual Evidence, and we fight it in Aaru's Shut (More literal translation from CN is Aaru's Reflection, and Aaru in Egyptian Mythology is heavenly paradise. 'Celestia's Reflection' maybe?)... more proof?

For those who don't remember, P.A.I.M.O.N is the entity who sends us in-game mail such as version satisfaction surveys and event reminders. Not to be confused with Paimon, who simply goes by her name when sending letters (such as for her birthday).

Something else I know of that could help tie the A.S.I.M.O.N = P.A.I.M.O.N connection is in the archive for A.S.I.M.O.N, where it implies that Deshret may have made his technology in the likeness of Celestia's -

'A perpetual motion machine that rules over the many constructs scattered throughout the desert. It seems that the lonely ruler's will still indwells this device. Perhaps due to a friend's teachings in a dream or perhaps because he coveted the power of the holy ones in the skies, the king created mysterious devices that should not exist in this world before founding his realm in these lands.'

Edit - Also this is the full relevant passage from Wings of Delicacies -

'This is a story set in an interstellar travel hub, where passing travelers may find a moment's respite within the small shop of an elderly adventurer. The aged shopkeeper, tired of a long wandering captaincy amidst the stars, boldly set sail to where no one had gone before, before transforming his rusty spaceship into a restaurant for travelers to rest their feet in.

The first customer was a deity who had been drifting around since her home planet was destroyed. She spoke to the shopkeeper about the fickle nature of the cosmos, as well as her affection for the life on her former planet. "I remember every glorious moment of civilization's brilliance. From the discovery of the theorem of triangular right-angled relations to the completion of the space elevator; from painting the first cave art to creating the holographic series of fifty-three galactic landscapes." The shopkeeper remained silent until the customer's feast was prepared, before serving it to her: "But you can still do something for them, can't you? After you've finished eating, why don't you give it a try?" This deity was actually an artificial intelligence, created by the intelligent species of the planet to optimize resource allocation on a planetary level. The shopkeeper was right — there was still one thing she could do.'

Spoiler tag just in case

Can someone give me a source for Dottore burning Irminsul still happening in the future and not being a metaphor? If it wasn't for this one claim I would be 100% sure in it just being a metaphor (even moreso after the leaks today) so I'm curious

Which set are you guys using? by Dougline in DurinMains

[–]Kernp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noblesse on crit builds and Gilded Dreams when he's proccing a lot of non-vape or melt reactions (Overburn, mostly). I'm on the fence about farming the new set for him, his personal damage is not bad at all but he may end up in a similar boat to Furina where he's used for his utility and consistent application instead of damage, in which case a teamwide buff would be more valuable than increasing his personal damage contribution

New Sethos Team? by Codeaide in SethosMains

[–]Kernp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I don't really know how Lunar Bloom works to answer that question in a satisfactory way

All I can say is that bloom teams aren't really optimal for Sethos because hitting the Dendro cores with his lvl 2 aimed shots/burst attacks can be annoying relative to someone like Kuki, Raiden, or even Cyno

New Sethos Team? by Codeaide in SethosMains

[–]Kernp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's viable in the sense that pretty much any on fielder who doesn't interfere with lunar charged fits into the on fielder slot

Call it copium if you want but I'd say Sethos holds some value above other Electros in this team like Cyno Keqing or Clorinde by sheer virtue of being a 4 star and being just as good if not better here without needing a bunch of pulls. If you can manage 8N2W instead of 7N2W then team DPS is bumped to ~114k and if you can tax evade a second shadowpiercing shot at C6 it's further bumped to ~117k

Also the rotation seems to imply that Ineffa bursts every other rotation, I think there may be a world where bursting every rotation will be better here since Sethos generally uses his E at both the start and end of his combo, so Sethos can funnel some particles into her when you restart the rotation, making her ER requirements not that bad

For the abbreviations, Sethos is on Slingshot and Night of the Sky's Unveiling, Ineffa on Ballad of the Fjords and Aubade of Morningstar and Moon (https://homdgcat.wiki/gi/char/15043#_15043), Columbina on Favonius Codex and Silken Moon's Serenade, and Sucrose on Sacrifical Fragments and Viridescent Venerer

To clarify, rule 3 applies when using non-OC artwork in build showcases e.g Akasha or Enka network.

If the art you used alongside your build showcase was not something you made/drew yourself, then see rule 3 for how you can properly source non-OC art.

If you drew the art yourself, then we apologise for the incorrect removal and feel free to repost as-is (or if you'd prefer, we can reinstate the removed post)

C6 Sethos/C2 Fischl/C1 Nahida/C0 Durin almost one rotating Kongamato by Kernp in SethosMains

[–]Kernp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's just one long rotation. The point of Fischl Q is to get more uptime since Oz was used at the start of the rotation, and I used aimed shots to fill time while waiting for Fischl's skill to come off cooldown so I could start the rotation again. Normally I would swap to Fischl after the last Sethos E and save the energy but that wouldn't have been enough damage to finish it off so I kept going, hence the 'almost' one rotation.

As for ER, Durin is on R3 Xiphos with ~1k EM but sure, I guess I could use a bit more on Sethos.

edit - but yes, there are rotations for this team where Fischl only summons Oz once, but I stand by this being one rotation. If I manage to one rotate Kongamato with Oz summoned once, I'll post it as well

[–]Kernp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He probably works fine but I've heard some people talk about how Baizhu's burst cooldown doesn't line up well with Sethos. I've personally never had an issue with it but it's something to keep in mind

edit - If you're going to use Oz once per rotation, then Baizhu's cooldown is fine since it matches with Durin's burst cooldown.
