Best builds for Sethos
Download Build CardNORMAL ATTACK DPS Build
Weapons
CRIT Rate
High CRIT Rate carries the build, and while its passive favors charged shots, a quick charged attack before entering the auto-attack loop grants a 24% normal attack damage boost. Solid if you can mix in charged procs.
CRIT DMG
Provides a substantial ATK% boost with a stacking normal attack damage effect that ramps while staying on-field. Matches the sustained auto-attack rotation of this build.
CRIT Rate
Budget king for normal attack archers – offers up to 60% increased normal and charged damage if you hit within 0.3s. Perfect for close-range aggressive play, but requires maintaining distance.
Artifacts
Boosts elemental mastery and charged attack damage. Great if you also like to weave charged shots between normals, amplifying both raw damage and reaction output.
After a swirl, increases normal attack speed and damage. Best when Flins is an Anemo driver, letting more auto attacks land within the same window.
Grants up to 230 elemental mastery or 14% ATK depending on team comp. Excellent for reaction-heavy on-field DPS, raising both elemental reaction damage and auto attack scaling.
Boosts electro reaction damage and lowers skill cooldown after triggering Overload, Electro-Charged, or Superconduct. Ideal if Flins is an electro normal attacker who spams skill for reactions.

Recommended Primary Stats
For Sethos, Normal Attack and Charged Attack DPS builds are nearly identical, differing only in Energy Recharge needs.
Weapon options outside the top three are underwhelming; avoid pulling solely for him.
Desert Pavilion Chronicle: its Attack Speed lets him weave more Normal Attacks during Burst.
