Kirara plays support in this Aggravate team built around Sethos, with Kaedehara Kazuha (support) and Fischl (sub DPS). Sethos and Fischl give Electro resonance (High Voltage: Electro reactions drop Electro particles). Kirara shields the team.
Sethos carries this Hyperbloom team as main DPS, with Nahida (sub DPS), Yelan (sub DPS) and Furina (sub DPS). Yelan and Furina give Hydro resonance (Soothing Water: Max HP +25%). Furina heals.
Genshin Impact 4★ Electro Bow Support
Elegy for the End is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Sethos's kit multiplies Elemental Mastery, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. Hunter's Path, Cloudforged and Skyward Harp come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Sethos, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.
Run Thundering Fury on Sethos, with Celestial Gift and Silken Moon's Serenade behind it. Main stats are Elemental Mastery sands, Elemental Mastery goblet, Elemental Mastery circlet. Roll substats in the order Energy Recharge > Elemental Mastery > CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG.
Talent priority is Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill > Normal Attack. The Elemental Burst costs 60 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.
The strongest team is Sethos, Kaedehara Kazuha, Fischl and Kirara, built around Sethos: Dendro · Aggravate.
Normal Attack Performs up to 3 consecutive shots with a bow.
Charged Attack Performs a more precise Aimed Shot with increased DMG. While aiming, the power of Electro will accumulate on the arrowhead before the arrow is fired. Has different effects based on how long the energy has been charged: · Charge Level 1: Fires off an arrow carrying the power of lightning that deals Electro DMG. · Charge Level 2: Fires off a Shadowpiercing Shot which can pierce enemies, dealing Electro DMG to enemies along its path. After the Shadowpiercing Shot is fully charged, Sethos cannot move around.
Plunging Attack Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Perform a secret rite, entering the "Twilight Meditation" state, during which Sethos's Normal Attacks will be converted into enemy-piercing Dusk Bolts: Deal Electro DMG to opponents in its path, with DMG increased based on Sethos's Elemental Mastery. Sethos cannot perform Aimed Shots while in this state. DMG dealt by Dusk Bolts is considered Charged Attack DMG. This effect will be canceled when Sethos leaves the field.
The archives of the Temple of Silence preserve many tomes left behind by Akhtamun, from the era of King Deshret. Many secret rituals of great power are recorded within, but even among the Temple of Silence, very few could master them.

Sethos is a 4-star Electro character from Sumeru who uses a bow, released in version 4.7.
Sethos's abilities multiply Elemental Mastery. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.
Elegy for the End is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star bow with Energy Recharge as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on Elemental Mastery. Cloudforged is the best 4-star alternative.

Its 2-piece bonus is: Electro DMG Bonus +15% Its 4-piece bonus is: Increases the DMG caused by Overloaded, Electro-Charged, Superconduct, and Hyperbloom by 40%, the DMG Bonus conferred by Aggravate by 20%, and the DMG caused by Lunar-Charged and Stellar-Conduct by 20%.
