Genshin Impact Sethos materials, kit, and Constellations
Ascension and Talent materials for Sethos.
Sethos is a 4-Star Electro character who is likely being added to Genshin Impact during version 4.7.
While Sethos should be featured as a boosted 4-Star character on on either Clorinde or Sigewinne's Banner in version 4.7, he will eventually be added to the standard Banner in Genshin Impact after 4.7, and also occasionally feature on future Banners as one of the boosted 4-Stars again.
If you want to prepare for if you get him, we've listed reliable leaks of Sethos' Ascension materials and Talent materials so you can level him up to his full potential right away. To understand how you might play him, we've also detailed what we know about Sethos' kit and Constellations.
Keep in mind that this is leaked beta information, so Sethos' materials and kit might change upon his official release.

Genshin Impact Sethos kit
Sethos is a 4-Star Electro character who uses a bow and scales off Elemental Mastery, and seems to be best used in a main DPS role or as an Electro 'Battery' to generate particles for other Electro party members.
Keeping in mind that this is leaked beta information from honeyhunterworld that could change upon Sethos' official release, here's a summary of Sethos' kit in Genshin Impact:
- Element: Electro.
- Rarity: 4-Star.
- Weapon: Bow.
- Normal Attack: Royal Reed Archery.
- Elemental Skill: Ancient Rite - The Thundering Sands.
- Elemental Burst: Secret Rite - Twilight Shadowpiercer.
- Passive one: Black Kite's Enigma - When aiming, the bow's charging time is decreased by 0.285 seconds, based on each point of Sethos' current Elemental Energy. Charging time can be reduced to a minimum of 0.3 seconds through this method, and a maximum of 20 Energy can be tallied. If a Shadowpiercing Shot is fired, the corresponding amount of tallied Elemental Energy is consumed, and if it is a Charge Level 1 shot, then 50% of the corresponding amount of tallied Elemental Energy is consumed.
- Passive two: The Sand King's Boon - Sethos gains the Scorching Sandshade effect, increasing the damage dealt by Shadowpiercing Shots by 600% of Sethos' Elemental Mastery. The Scorching Sandshade effect is cancelled after four Shadowpiercing Shots strike opponents, or five seconds after a Shadowpiercing Shot first hits an opponent. When a Shadowpiercing Shot affected by Scorching Sandshade first hits an opponent, Sethos regains Scorching Sandshade after 15 seconds.
- Exploration bonus: Thoth's Revelation - Displays the location of nearby resources unique to Sumeru on the minimap.
Sethos Normal Attack - Royal Reed Archery
Sethos performs up to three consecutive shots with his bow if tapping the normal attack button. Holding it down instead makes Sethos perform a more precise aimed shot with increased damage.
While aiming, the power of Electro accumulates on the arrowhead before the arrow is fired. The arrow then has different effects based on how long the energy has been charged.
At Charge Level 1, Sethos fires an arrow carrying the power of lightning that deals Electro damage, and at Charge Level 2, he fires a Shadowpiercing Shot which can pierce enemies, and deals Electro damage to enemies along its path. Keep in mind that after the Shadowpiercing Shot is fully charged, Sethos can't move around.
Finally, as with most archer plunging attacks, Sethos fires a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AOE (Area of Effect) damage upon impact.
Sethos Elemental Skill - Ancient Rite: The Thundering Sands
Sethos gathers the might of thunder, dealing AOE Electro damage to enemies in front and quickly retreating. If this attack triggers Electro-Charged, Superconduct, Overloaded, Quicken, Aggravate, Hyperbloom, or Electro Swirl reactions, Sethos recovers a certain amount of Elemental Energy.
Sethos Elemental Burst - Secret Rite: Twilight Shadowpiercer
Sethos performs a secret rite, entering the Twilight Meditation state, during which his normal attacks are converted into enemy-piercing Dusk Bolts. These deal Electro damage to opponents in their path, with damage increasing based on Sethos' Elemental Mastery, and damage dealt by Dusk Bolts is considered charged attack damage. This effect is cancelled when Sethos leaves the field.
Genshin Impact Sethos Talent materials
To get the most out of using Sethos, you will have to level his skills up by using Talent materials, which vary from character-to-character.
With the latest beta information sourced from honeyhunterworld, for Sethos, it looks like you'll need to farm a lot of Faded Red Satin and Praxis materials (if you don't already have them) to fully upgrade his capabilities.
As Sethos has three Talents, you will have to spend three times the Talent materials listed below to fully upgrade all of his abilities, which we've also detailed below the table.
Here's what Sethos Talent materials you need to improve one of his abilities:

Remember, this is leaked beta information that could change upon Sethos' official release.
Version 4.6 with Arlecchino is here! You can also redeem new codes for Primogems, and check out our regularly updated tier list. You need luck from the Pity and 50/50 systems to Wish with Fate for characters on Banners, and you always need the right Adventure Rank for events. Elsewhere, we have tips and tricks for beginners.
Genshin Impact Sethos Ascension materials
Just like Talents, you need to use Sethos Ascension materials to upgrade his health, attack, defence, and critical hit effectiveness.
Based off the same honeyhunterworld beta leaks, it looks like you'll need to farm a lot of Trishiraite and Faded Red Satin materials for Sethos (if you don't already have them) to fully upgrade his capabilities.
Unlike Talent materials, you only need to spend the below Ascension materials once to fully raise Sethos to his highest character level. There is also Acquaint Fate rewarded for reaching certain Ascension levels. You can spend this Fate on the standard and beginner Banners to Wish for characters and weapons.
Here's what Sethos Ascension materials and Mora you need to upgrade her for each Ascension level:
| Sethos Ascension level | Sethos Ascension materials | Mora cost | Ascension reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 20 | x1 Vajrada Amethyst Sliver, x3 Trishiraite, x3 Faded Red Satin | 20,000 | x1 Acquaint Fate |
| Level 40 | x3 Vajrada Amethyst Fragment, x2 Cloudseam Scale, x10 Trishiraite, x15 Faded Red Satin | 40,000 | None |
| Level 50 | x6 Vajrada Amethyst Fragment, x4 Cloudseam Scale, x20 Trishiraite, x12 Trimmed Red Silk | 60,000 | x1 Acquaint Fate |
| Level 60 | x3 Vajrada Amethyst Chunk, x8 Cloudseam Scale, x30 Trishiraite, x18 Trimmed Red Silk | 80,000 | None |
| Level 70 | x6 Vajrada Amethyst Chunk, x12 Cloudseam Scale, x45 Trishiraite, x12 Rich Red Brocade | 100,000 | x1 Acquaint Fate |
| Level 80 | x6 Vajrada Amethyst Gemstone, x20 Cloudseam Scale, x60 Trishiraite, x24 Rich Red Brocade | 120,000 | None |
In total, here's all the Ascension Materials you need for Sethos in Genshin Impact:
- x1 Vajrada Amethyst Sliver
- x6 Vajrada Amethyst Gemstone
- x9 Vajrada Amethyst Fragment
- x9 Vajrada Amethyst Chunk
- x18 Faded Red Satin
- x30 Trimmed Red Silk
- x36 Rich Red Brocade
- x46 Cloudseam Scale
- x168 Trishiraite
- 420,000 Mora
Once again, this is leaked beta information, so Sethos' materials could change upon his official release.
Genshin Impact Sethos Constellations
By getting duplicates of Sethos from wishing on Banners that include him, you will receive his Stella Fortuna. This material allows you to unlock Constellation levels, with each upgrade either improving an existing Talent or Passive ability.
With thanks to honeyhunterworld again for sourcing this leaked beta information, here are all of Sethos' Constellations in Genshin Impact:
- Sealed Shrine's Spiritsong (C1): The Crit Rate of Shadowpiercing Shot is increased by 15%.
- Papyrus Scripture of Silent Secrets (C2): Sethos gains a 15% Electro damage bonus for 10 seconds when consuming Elemental Energy through the Black Kite's Enigma Passive Talent, and when regaining Elemental Energy via Ancient Rite: The Thundering Sands. This damage bonus can stack up to two times, counted independently.
- Ode to the Moonrise Sage (C3): Increases the Level of Sethos' normal attack by three, with a maximum upgrade level of 15.
- Beneficent Plumage (C4): When Shadowpiercing Shot or Dusk Bolt strike two or more opponents, all nearby party members gain 80 Elemental Mastery for 10 seconds.
- Record of the Desolate God's Burning Sands (C5): Increases the Level of Sethos' Elemental Burst by three, with a maximum upgrade level of 15.
- Pylon of the Sojourning Sun Temple (C6): After Shadowpiercing Shot strikes an opponent, the Elemental Energy consumed by the Black Kite's Enigma Passive Talent is returned. This effect can be triggered once every 15 seconds.
Good luck levelling up Sethos in Genshin Impact!
