DPS Aside from Energy Recharge requirements, Sethos' builds for Normal and Charged Attack DPS are nearly identical. Regarding Weapon Choices: Sethos' alternative weapon options are underwhelming and should not be prioritized solely for upgrading Sethos. Regarding Artifact Choices: Desert Pavilion Chronicle: This artifact set's ATK SPD allows Sethos to utilize his Normal Attack more frequently during his Elemental Burst.

The archives of the Temple of Silence preserve many tomes left behind by Akhtamun, from the era of King Deshret. Many secret rituals of great power are recorded within, but even among the Temple of Silence, very few could master them.
