Best weapon for Sethos, calculated
Hunter's Path tops the weapon calc for Sethos at 11,710 average damage on Charged Attack. Every row below is the same hit with only the weapon swapped, at Level 90, talent 10 and refinement 1 — the right-hand column is the damage you give up by running it instead.
Each bow equipped on a Lv90 Sethos at talent 10 — base ATK, substat and any modelled passive. Weapons whose passive is not modelled show only their raw stats; better a missing buff than a wrong one. Swap any of them in the Sethos calculator to re-run the whole chain on your own panel.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hunter's Path 5★ best base ATK 542 · CRIT Rate | 542 | CRIT Rate | 11,710 | 100% |

Sethos build questions, answered
What does Sethos scale off?
Sethos's Charged Attack scales off total ATK — character base ATK plus weapon base ATK, then (1 + ATK%) and flat ATK on top. A weapon’s base ATK line therefore feeds this character directly.
What stat does Sethos get from ascension?
Sethos's ascension substat is Elemental Mastery. It arrives at the Level-80/90 ascension and is part of the character's own stats, so the calculator counts it before any artifact roll is added.
What is the best weapon for Sethos?
Ranked by computed Charged Attack damage at Level 90, talent 10 and refinement 1, Hunter's Path is the strongest bow for Sethos at 11,710 average damage per hit. The The Stringless used by this page's preset panel averages 7,155, 38.9% behind it.
What artifacts should Sethos use?
Gilded Dreams (4) is the set this calculator presets Sethos with, and the damage tables include its bonuses. Set effects that depend on the element of the hit are applied per row rather than as a flat average.
How much damage should Sethos do?
On the default Level-90, talent-10 build shown above, Sethos's largest single hit averages 7,155 — the table lists its CRIT and non-CRIT numbers separately. That is a reference panel, not a target: load your own artifact rolls into the calculator to get your own number.
Do these numbers include Sethos's constellations?
No — every table is computed at C0. Constellations that are unconditional and clearly numeric are modelled in the calculator and marked as such on this page; the rest are listed as text only and change nothing.
How those numbers are produced: the damage formula, term by term, and the weapon & artifact build guide. If Sethos still hits soft, the six levers ranked by damage added shows which multiplier is holding a build back.
