	Royal Reed Archery	Normal Attack
Description Gameplay Notes Advanced Properties Attribute Scaling Preview 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. Passive Effects Passive Talent 1, Black Kite's Enigma: "When Aiming, the charging time is decreased by 0.285s based on each point of Sethos's current Elemental Energy. Charging time can be reduced to a minimum of 0.3s through this method and a maximum of 20 Energy can be tallied. If a Shadowpiercing Shot is fired, consume the tallied amount of Elemental Energy; if it is a Charge Level 1 shot, then consume 50% of the tallied amount of Elemental Energy." Passive Talent 2, The Sand King's Boon: "Sethos gains the 'Scorching Sandshade' effect, increasing the DMG dealt by Shadowpiercing Shots by 700% of Sethos's Elemental Mastery. The Scorching Sandshade effect will be canceled when any of the following conditions are met: 5s after a Shadowpiercing Shot first hits an opponent. After 4 Shadowpiercing Shots strike opponents. When a Shadowpiercing Shot affected by Scorching Sandshade first hits an opponent, Sethos will regain Scorching Sandshade after 15s." Constellation Effects Constellation Level 1, Sealed Shrine's Spiritsong: "The CRIT Rate of Shadowpiercing Shot is increased by 15%." Constellation Level 3, Ode to the Moonrise Sage: Increases this talent's level by 3, up to a maximum of 15. Constellation Level 4, Beneficent Plumage: "When a Shadowpiercing Shot or Dusk Bolt strikes 2 or more opponents, all nearby party members gain 80 Elemental Mastery for 10s." Constellation Level 6, Pylon of the Sojourning Sun Temple: "After Shadowpiercing Shot strikes an opponent, the Elemental Energy consumed by the Passive Talent 'Black Kite's Enigma' will be returned. This effect can be triggered up to once every 15s. You must first unlock the Passive Talent 'Black Kite's Enigma.'"

Charging time can be reduced to a minimum of 0.3s through this method and a maximum of 20 Energy can be tallied.

	The Sand King's Boon	4th Ascension Passive
Description Gameplay Notes Sethos gains the "Scorching Sandshade" effect, increasing the DMG dealt by Shadowpiercing Shots by 700% of Sethos's Elemental Mastery. The Scorching Sandshade effect will be canceled when any of the following conditions are met: 5s after a Shadowpiercing Shot first hits an opponent. After 4 Shadowpiercing Shots strike opponents. When a Shadowpiercing Shot affected by Scorching Sandshade first hits an opponent, Sethos will regain Scorching Sandshade after 15s.

	Thoth's Revelation	Utility Passive
Description Gameplay Notes Preview Displays the location of nearby resources unique to Sumeru on the mini-map. Sethos must be in the active party for Thoth's Revelation to take effect, but he does not need to be alive. Only one local specialty will be shown on the mini-map at a time. Because they double as a Wildlife, Scarabs are not generated by the game unless the player is close to their spawning point, making this talent's effect less efficient when searching for Scarabs compared to Local Specialties that are fixed objects. The following Talent is identical to this talent: Encyclopedic Knowledge (Tighnari)
