Seth build | Zenless Zone Zero

ZZZ’s Seth is an A-rank defense agent who deals electric damage with heavy-hitting slash attacks. As a defense agent, 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:

Seth’s best W-engine is Peacekeeper – Specialized, as it’s his signature W-engine and is perfectly tailored to his kit. In terms of disc drives, we recommend equipping  him with a four-piece set of Swing Jazz and two pieces of Hormone Punk.

Attack ratio is Seth’s most important stat, not only for his personal damage output, but also for his shield, as it scales off his attack. After this, anomaly mastery is a useful stat for Seth as it allows him to shock his enemies more frequently.

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.

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.

There currently aren’t any S-rank defense-type W-engines, so we doubt there will be much competition for his signature.

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.

Seth’s best drive disc set is four pieces of Swing Jazz. It’s ideal for most situations, offering a team-wide damage boost after Seth uses his chain attack or ultimate. This is very valuable, especially following a chain attack. However, this set is most useful in team comps where you’re regularly stunning enemies.

We recommend combining the four-pieces of Swing Jazz with two pieces of Hormone Punk, as it can greatly benefit his shields. Alternatively, you can go with two pieces of Shockstar Disco, which increases Seth’s daze effect.

Alternatively, four pieces of Freedom Blues is a strong option for Seth when he’s supporting shock or disorder-focused teams. It shreds enemy electric anomaly buildup resistance, which can be incredibly strong when he’s paired up with a strong electric DPS. However, it doesn’t fully compare with four pieces of Swing Jazz in most scenarios.

We recommend pairing the four-piece Freedom Blues set with two pieces of Swing Jazz to increase Seth’s energy regen. Alternatively, you can once again go for Hormone Punk to boost his shields, or Shockstar Disco to boost his daze effect.

Seth stat recommendations

When picking drive discs for Seth, we recommend prioritizing the following stats.

Main stats:

• Attack ratio / anomaly proficiency
• Attack ratio / electric damage
• Energy regen / anomaly mastery

Sub-stats:

• Attack ratio
• Anomaly proficiency
• Attack
• Pen

Seth is a great support and enabler in a variety of teams.

He’s currently the best support for anomaly characters like Jane Doe, offering a crucial 20% flat anomaly res shred to enemies, amplifying all anomaly build-up against them. He can also grant the next squad member in his team up to 100 anomaly proficiency, which can dramatically enhance Jane’s damage output, and also helps with her core passive bonus.

But don’t worry if you don’t have Jane – Seth can still shine in other team comps. Seth and Anton synergize surprisingly well. This is due to the fact that Anton relies on hitting shocked enemies to maximize his damage, so he appreciates Seth’s anomaly res as it allows his team to build up shock much quicker. Grace is a brilliant addition to this team, but if you don’t have her, Anby is also a solid choice.

Nekomata also appreciates Seth’s anomaly res shred as it allows her to trigger assault more frequently, which in turn buffs her next EX special attack’s damage. Pair these two with Anby to get the additional ability bonuses, and you’ve got a surprisingly solid team.

If you want to level Seth up, you need to promote him at certain intervals using denny and defense certification seals. You can earn defense certification seals via the combat simulation – agent promotion combat challenges.

Here are all of Seth’s promotion materials:

You can boost the power of Seth’s core passive by increasing his core skill level, but you need a specific set of material to do so.

Here are all of Seth’s core skill enhancement materials:

You can obtain the higher dimensional data: falling fist from the associated Expert Challenge, and you can get living drives from the Unknown Corruption Complex Notorious Hunt.

You can increase each of Seth’s individual skills to a maximum of level 12, but you need specific materials to do so.

Seth’s skill enhancement materials include plenty of shock chips, which you can obtain via the combat simulation – agent skills challenge, a long with plenty of denny. On top of that, if you want to max out any of Seth’s skills, you also need a hamster cage pass (similar to Genshin’s crown of insight). You can earn these through events or claim them from the New Eridu City Fund (battle pass).
