Seth is an A-Rank Electric character with the Defense speciality who deals Slash-type damage.

Keeping in mind that all of the percentages mentioned below are based on Level 1 Skills, here's a brief summary of Seth's kit in Zenless Zone Zero:

  • Attribute: Electric.
  • Speciality: Defense.
  • Damage Type: Slash.
  • Rarity: A-Rank.
  • Faction: Criminal Investigation Special Response Team.
  • Passive Core Skill: Protector - When Seth uses EX Special Attack: Thunder Shield Rush - High Voltage, he gains a Shield of Firm Resolve equal to 40% of his initial attack, up to a max of 3,000 points, and lasting 25 seconds. This effect can trigger once every 10 seconds. When Basic Attack: Lightning Strike - Electrified or Assist Follow-Up: Public Security Ruling triggers a Quick Assist or Chain Attack, causing another squad member to enter the field, that squad member gains a Shield of Firm Resolve equal to 40% of Seth's initial attack, up to a max of 3,000 points, and lasting 25 seconds. This effect can trigger once every 10 seconds. Having a Shield of Firm Resolve increases Anomaly Proficiency by 50.
  • Additional Core Skill: High Spirit - When another character in your squad shares the same Attribute or Faction: When Seth's Chain Attack: Final Judgement or Finishing Move during Basic Attack: Lightning Strike - Electrified hits an enemy, the target's Anomaly Buildup Resistance to all Attributes is reduced by 20%, lasting 20 seconds.

Basic Attack: Lightning Strike - Electrified

When Resolve reaches 75%, hold the basic attack button to activate. Here are its effects:

  • Consume 75% Resolve to launch continuous attacks in front, followed by a Finishing Move that deals Electric Damage.
  • When the Finishing Move hits an enemy, it triggers the Quick Assist of the squad member positioned before Seth.
  • Anti-Interrupt level is increased while using this skill.

Seth accumulates 75% Resolve by:

  • Using his EX Special Attack.
  • Using his Chain Attack.
  • Using his Ultimate.
  • Upon entering battle (if his second Mindscape Cinema is activated).
