Overall Impression
Sethos' kit appears to be reminiscent of Tighnari's but with a focus on combat against multiple enemies. While some aspects of his kit, such as his first talent, may seem confusing, further clarification is expected with the release of the version 4.7 beta. Players can look forward to exploring Sethos' full potential and integrating him into their teams upon his official release.
Release Date and Availability
Sethos is expected to be available as a playable character in the Genshin Impact 4.7 update, alongside Clorinde and Sigewinne. Depending on the phase, he will be available on either June 5, 2024 (Phase I) or June 25, 2024 (Phase II).
Community Reactions
The Genshin Impact community has expressed mixed reactions to Sethos' kit, with some comparing him to existing characters like Tighnari. Some players have expressed disappointment at another male DPS character, while others are intrigued by his unique abilities.
Sethos' kit offers a blend of offensive capabilities and utility, making him a potentially versatile addition to players' teams. However, players will have to wait for the official release to experience Sethos' full potential in the game.
