Fischl vs. Sethos: Who to Build in Genshin Impact?

Hey Travelers! If you’re diving deep into Genshin Impact, you’ve probably wondered about the best characters to invest in. Today, we’re pitting two Electro powerhouses against each other: the Prinzessin der Verurteilung, Fischl, and the desert-dwelling archer, Sethos. While both wield the power of Electro, their roles and team synergies are quite distinct. Let’s break it down!

Fischl: The Off-Field Electro Queen

Fischl is a fantastic Electro support character, famous for her loyal raven, Oz. He’s the star of her kit, dealing consistent Electro damage even when Fischl isn’t on the field. This makes her incredibly valuable for enabling elemental reactions and providing continuous Electro application without hogging your on-field time. She’s also an excellent energy generator, helping your other characters get their powerful Bursts ready faster.

Why you’ll love Fischl:

  • Off-field damage: Oz is a true MVP, constantly zapping enemies.
  • Energy battery: Keeps your team’s Elemental Bursts charged.
  • Versatile support: Fits into many team compositions, especially those with main DPS characters who need a lot of field time.

Sethos: The On-Field Electro DPS

Sethos, on the other hand, is built to be your main damage dealer. He thrives when he’s actively on the field, unleashing his powerful attacks. Unlike Fischl, Sethos needs a bit more support when it comes to Energy Recharge and buffs, as his damage potential truly shines when his teammates are boosting him.

Why you’ll love Sethos:

  • Main DPS potential: Can dish out serious damage when supported.
  • On-field focus: Great for players who enjoy active combat with their main character.
  • Benefits from buffs: Scales well with Elemental Mastery and other damage-boosting effects.

Can They Work Together? Absolutely!

The good news is, you don’t always have to choose! Many players find that Fischl and Sethos actually complement each other beautifully. Fischl’s excellent energy generation can help fuel Sethos’s needs, ensuring he can keep his powerful attacks coming. Fischl’s off-field Electro application also sets up fantastic elemental reactions for Sethos to capitalize on.

Fischl’s Constellations: Unlocking Her Full Potential

Fischl’s constellations are incredibly impactful, especially her C6. While she’s great at C0, each constellation makes her even stronger:

  • C1 (Gaze of the Deep): Boosts her physical damage when Oz isn’t on the field, making a physical DPS build more viable.
  • C2 (Devourer of All Sins): Increases Oz’s Electro damage and expands his attack area when summoned.
  • C4 (Her Pilgrimage of Bleak): Adds an extra burst of AoE Electro damage and heals Fischl when she uses her Elemental Burst.
  • C6 (Evernight Raven): This is the big one! It extends Oz’s duration and makes him attack alongside your active character, significantly increasing continuous Electro application and damage.

Building the Perfect Sethos Team

To truly make Sethos shine, you’ll want to surround him with characters that support his on-field damage and energy needs.

  • Electro Supports: Characters like Fischl or Raiden Shogun are excellent for providing consistent Electro application and crucial energy.
  • Dendro Enablers: For massive Aggravate reaction damage, pair Sethos with a Dendro character like Nahida. Kazuha is also fantastic for crowd control and debuffing enemy Electro resistance.
  • Pyro Supports: If you’re going for an Overload team, consider characters like Chevreuse or Dehya for consistent Pyro application and buffs.
  • Shields and Healing: Sethos can be a bit squishy, so a shielder or healer like Baizhu or Kirara can greatly improve his survivability and prevent interruptions to his charged attacks.

Example Team Compositions:

  • Aggravate Team: Sethos (Main DPS), Fischl (Electro Support), Nahida (Dendro Enabler), Kazuha (Anemo Support)
  • Overload Team: Sethos (Main DPS), Chevreuse (Pyro Buffer), Dehya (Pyro Support/Shield), Yae Miko (Electro Enabler)

Beyond Teyvat: The Other Sethos

It’s worth noting that the name “Sethos” also has a historical and literary connection outside of Genshin Impact. There’s an 18th-century French fantasy novel called Life of Sethos by Jean Terrasson, which tells a fictional story set in ancient Egypt. This Sethos is a high priest and pharaoh, a figure mentioned by Herodotus, whose story was later embellished in fiction. Just a fun fact for you lore enthusiasts!
