What is the best Seth build?
ZZZ’s Seth is an A-rank defense agent who deals electric damage with heavy-hitting slash attacks. Thanks to his defense specialty, he has strong survivability and excels at tanking enemy attacks then dishing out counterattacks in return.
Here’s a brief overview of our ZZZ Seth build:
| Rank | A |
| Attribute | Electric |
| Specialty | Defense |
| Attack type | Slash |
| Best W-engine | Peacekeeper – Specialized |
| Best drive discs | 4pc Swing Jazz, 2pc Hormone Punk |
| Main stats |
|
| Sub-stats | Attack ratio > anomaly proficiency > attack > pen |
Seth’s best W-engine is Peacekeeper – Specialized. It’s his signature W-engine and is perfectly tailored to his kit, boosting his energy regen and anomaly build-up. His best drive disc set is four-pieces of Swing Jazz and two pieces of Hormone Punk, which offers a team-wide damage buff as well as a boost to his personal attack.
As Seth’s shield scales off his attack, attack ratio is his most important stat. Aside from this, anomaly proficiency and anomaly mastery are always welcome as they allow him to inflict enemies with shock more reliably.
How to use Seth
Seth’s kit focuses on him using his riot shield to dish out heaps of dazing electric attacks, disarming enemies and giving his teammates the perfect opportunity to strike.
His core passive allows him to generate an attack-scaling shield for both himself and his allies when he uses his EX Special Attack. This shield is a bit more substantial than Zenless Zone Zero’s Ben‘s, and is very handy in battles against heavy-hitting bosses and large groups of enemies.
If you pair Seth up with at least one other electric agent or another member of the Criminal Investigation Special Response Team, he can also shred enemy anomaly resistance when he hits them with his chain attack or the final strike of his basic attack combo. This further enhances his ability as an enabler and support, making him even more valuable.
Therefore we highly recommend pairing Seth up with another electric agent like ZZZ Grace, or putting him alongside his fellow N.E.P.S. members like ZZZ Jane Doe and ZZZ Zhu Yuan. For more info on his best squads and what role he plays in them, be sure to check out the team comp section below.
What are Seth’s best W-engines?
Seth’s signature W-engine is Peacekeeper – Specialized. It boosts his energy regen whenever he’s shielded, while also boosting the anomaly buildup of his EX special attacks and assist follow-ups, allowing him to shock enemies more reliably.
The A-rank Spring Embrace is a solid alternative for Seth. It offers a welcome boost to his attack ratio that can help increase his shield, while also reducing his damage taken and providing a transferable energy generation boost whenever an enemy attacks him. Unfortunately, this W-engine is only available through the premium version of the New Eridu City Fund, so it’s not an option for F2P players.
Alternatively, Bunny Band at S5 is a decent back-up W-Engine for Seth, but doesn’t compare to Peacekeeper – Specialized or Spring Embrace due to its defense main stat and situational benefits. The combat attack buff it offers also doesn’t impact his shield capacity, and its defensive stats don’t scale with his kit. Therefore we recommend only using this one if you don’t have either of the options listed above.
Here are ZZZ Seth’s best W-engines:
| Peacekeeper – Specialized | Stat: attack ratio Skill: while shielded, Seth’s energy regen increases. The anomaly buildup of EX special attacks and assist follow-ups also increases | Limited or standard banner |
