Let me tell you something, as a seasoned adventurer who has conquered the Abyss more times than I can count, pulling Sethos from the Sumeru sands was a game-changer! But was I content to just let him fire basic arrows? Absolutely not! I dove headfirst into testing every possible team combination, and let me ask you this: are you truly maximizing the potential of this former vessel of Hermanubis? If not, buckle up, because I'm about to drop the most explosive, electrifying guide you'll need for 2025!

Sethos isn't just another four-star Electro bow user; he's a main DPS powerhouse who thrives on chaos—specifically, the beautiful chaos of Aggravate and Hyperbloom reactions. Forget about boring single-element teams! His damage scales with Elemental Mastery, meaning the more reactions you trigger, the bigger the numbers pop up on your screen. And get this—he can hit multiple targets at once, something most bow users can only dream of! The catch? His powerful charged shots root him in place. So, do you risk it for the biscuit, or do you bring some protective friends along? I always choose the latter!

⚡ Aggravate Teams: Electrifying the Competition ⚡

The Premium Powerhouse (A.K.A. The Wallet Warrior Special)

This team is for when you want to see the world burn... with Electro and Dendro. We're talking top-tier, five-star supremacy!

Role	Character	Key Function
Main DPS	Sethos	The star of the show, dealing massive Aggravate damage.
Sub DPS	Raiden Shogun	Provides insane off-field Electro application with her skill.
Sub DPS	Nahida	Applies Dendro to everything in sight and boosts EM.
Support	Kaedehara Kazuha	Groups enemies, shreds resistance, and adds Swirl damage.

Why does this team feel so unfair? It's all about elemental application. Aggravate triggers when you hit a Quickened enemy (Electro + Dendro) with another Electro attack. Raiden and Nahida ensure that status is always active. Nahida's whole kit scales off EM, amplifying our reaction damage even further. Kazuha? He's the maestro, swirling Electro to reduce enemy resistance and boost our damage through the roof. And with two Electro characters, we generate energy particles like crazy, solving Sethos's hefty energy appetite. Pro tip: Raiden's C6 can reduce Sethos's burst cooldown—utterly broken!

My Battle Rhythm (The Dance of Destruction):

1. Raiden Shogun: Start with her Elemental Skill ("Eye of Stormy Judgment"). Now every hit carries Electro.

2. Nahida: Hold her Elemental Skill ("All Schemes to Know") and tag every enemy in the vicinity. Watch them get linked!

3. Kazuha: Use his Skill and Plunge, then unleash his Burst ("Kazuha Slash") to suck everyone in and infuse with Electro.

4. SETHOS TIME! Switch in, immediately fire his Burst, use his Skill to elegantly backflip away, and then unleash a torrent of empowered Normal Attacks. Watch the Aggravate numbers fill your screen!

The F2P Champion (Genius on a Budget)

Don't have a vault of Primogems? No problem! This team proves you don't need five-stars to dominate.

Role	Character	Why They're Awesome
Main DPS	Sethos	Our king, unchanged.
Sub DPS	Fischl	The queen of off-field Electro. At C6, she's a machine gun!
Sub DPS	Collei	Provides solid, wide-area Dendro application.
Support	Yaoyao	Heals us AND applies more Dendro. The ultimate sustain!

Is Fischl the best four-star in the game? For Sethos, she might be! Her skill summons Oz, who relentlessly attacks. At C6, Oz joins in on your Normal Attacks. Her C5 makes every Electro reaction trigger an extra hit. Collei's Burst covers a huge area, so we don't miss crowd control too much. Her C4 boosts the whole team's EM, and her C2 adds extra Dendro damage sprouts. Yaoyao is the safety net—throwing her Yuegui heals us and keeps the Dendro coming. With her C2 and C4, she becomes an energy and application beast, especially with a Favonius Lance.

The Budget Buster Combo:

1. Collei: Open with her Elemental Skill, then her Burst ("Trump-Card Kitty") to set up the Dendro field.

2. Fischl: Summon Oz with her Elemental Skill.

3. Yaoyao: Switch in and toss out Yuegui using her Skill for healing and more Dendro.

4. SETHOS'S TURN! Burst, skill, then unleash those empowered attacks. Enjoy the constant stream of Aggravate reactions!

🌊 Hyperbloom Teams: The Blooming Electro Surprise 🌱

The Luxury Garden (Hydro Meets Electro)

When you want to mix Hydro into the equation for explosive seeds, this is the premium path.

Role	Character	Their Brilliant Role
Main DPS	Sethos	Now triggering Hyperblooms with his Electro!
Sub DPS	Raiden Shogun	Built full EM to trigger the Hyperbloom cores.
Sub DPS	Furina	Unmatched off-field Hydro application and damage buffs.
Support	Baizhu	Provides healing, shields, and Dendro resonance.

Can Furina do it all? Almost! She applies so much Hydro off-field with her Salon Members that creating Dendro Cores is trivial. Raiden Shogun, built with maximum Elemental Mastery, will be the one to trigger the Hyperblooms from off-field with her skill, dealing monstrous damage. Baizhu is the perfect comfort pick, shielding Sethos during his vulnerable charged shots and providing healing. His C4 even gives the team an EM boost. If you have Furina's C4, her healing can be so strong you might swap Baizhu for Nahida for even more damage!

The Orchestrated Explosion:

1. Raiden Shogun: Start with her Elemental Skill.

2. Furina: Use her Elemental Skill to summon the Salon Solitaire.

3. Baizhu: Pop his Elemental Burst for a shield, then use his Skill for healing and Dendro.

4. THE SETHOS FINALE: Burst, skill, and go to town! The moment Hydro, Dendro, and Electro meet, the Hyperbloom firework show begins.

The F2P Bloom Brigade (Resourceful Ruin)

No fancy five-stars? Let's get creative with the free characters and classic four-stars!

Role	Character	Their Niche
Main DPS	Sethos	Our consistent Electro applier.
Sub DPS	Dendro Traveler	The reliable, free Dendro core generator.
Sub DPS	Xingqiu	The legendary Hydro applier and damage reducer.
Support	Dori	The team's battery and emergency healer.

Is the Traveler underrated? In a Hyperbloom team, absolutely! Their Burst creates a large Dendro field that works perfectly with Xingqiu's raining swords to spawn Dendro Cores. Xingqiu's C6 is a dream for energy. Dori is the secret sauce—her Burst connects a beam to your active character, restoring energy and health. With her C4, she boosts healing and Energy Recharge even more. This team is all about enabling Sethos to stay on field and keep the reactions flowing.

The Free-to-Play Flow:

1. Dori: Use her Elemental Burst to summon the Jinni and create the energy link.

2. Dendro Traveler: Quickly use their Elemental Skill, then their Burst ("Lotus Lamp").

3. Xingqiu: Activate his Elemental Burst ("Guhua Sword: Raincutter") and Skill.

4. SETHOS, ACTIVATE! Switch in, use Burst and Skill, and watch as your Normal Attacks trigger a storm of Electro-charged seeds that instantly explode into Hyperblooms!

Final Verdict & Pro Tips from a Sethos Main

So, which team should you choose? Let me break it down:

• Want Big, Simple Numbers? Go for the Premium Aggravate team (Sethos, Raiden, Nahida, Kazuha). It's straightforward and devastating.

• Love Explosions and Have Raiden? The Premium Hyperbloom team is your pick. The screen-wide green missiles are incredibly satisfying.

• Playing F2P and Love Aggravate? The Fischl/Collei/Yaoyao team is incredibly strong and reliable.

• F2P and Want to Try Hyperbloom? The Traveler/Xingqiu/Dori team is a fantastic and accessible starting point.

Remember, Sethos's own constellations are huge quality-of-life improvements. His C6 improves his energy economy massively, and his C4 gives the whole party an EM boost—essential for reaction teams! Always pair him with characters who can apply elements off-field. And never forget a shielder or healer if you plan on using those powerful but immobilizing charged shots!

The world of Teyvat in 2025 is more competitive than ever. But with Sethos and the right team, you're not just playing the game—you're conducting a symphony of elemental destruction. Now go out there and show them what the leader of the Temple of Silence can really do!
