Release1.1

Seth Lowell is an A-Rank Electric Defense Agent who plays as an Anomaly Support. His Shield of Firm Resolve protects him and one chosen teammate and gives each of them +100 Anomaly Proficiency, and his Additional Ability cuts the enemy's Anomaly Buildup RES to all attributes by 20%. Easy to build and to play, he is now a budget option: newer Supports do far more in endgame.

A · ATK%
Signature and best in slot for both sources: ATK% main stat (bigger shields), Energy Regen while shielded, and +36% Anomaly Buildup on his EX Special and Assist Follow-Up.
Energy Regen +0.4/s while shielded; EX Special Attack and Assist Follow-Up Anomaly Buildup +36%.
Spring Embrace

More supportive: ATK% main stat and an Energy Generation buff when hit that he passes on to the next Agent.
Reduces DMG taken by 7.5%; being attacked raises Energy Generation Rate by 10% for 12s, a buff passed on to the next on-field agent.
Bunny Band
A · DEF%
Its ATK bonus only works in combat, so it doesn't enlarge his shield. A fallback.
Max HP +8%, and ATK +10% while shielded.
Original Transmorpher
A · HP%
Mostly defensive stats that don't scale his kit, plus a small Impact boost when hit.
Max HP +8%; being attacked raises Impact by 10% for 12s.

Drive Discs

Astral Voice ×4
Swing Jazz ×2
Prydwen's first choice: his kit is built around Quick Assists, so Astral stacks come naturally. Its own 2-piece also adds ATK +10%.

Guide

How to play

Shield of Firm Resolve (Core Passive)

  • His EX Special Attack: Thunder Shield Rush - High Voltage gives him a Shield of Firm Resolve worth 80% of his initial ATK (max 3,000, 25s, once every 10s).
  • When his Basic Attack: Lightning Strike - Electrified or his Assist Follow-Up triggers a Quick Assist, the Agent who comes in gets the same shield.
  • Any shielded Agent gains +100 Anomaly Proficiency.
  • His special Quick Assist brings in the Agent placed before him in the squad order, not after: always put Seth right after your Anomaly DPS.

High Spirit (Additional Ability)

With another Electric Agent or a fellow Special Response Team member (Jane, Qingyi, Zhu Yuan) in the squad, his Chain Attack and the Finishing Move of Lightning Strike - Electrified cut the target's Anomaly Buildup RES to all attributes by 20% for 20s.

Rotation

  1. EX Special Attack (80 Energy): instantly grants 75% Resolve and his own shield.
  2. Hold Basic Attack for Lightning Strike - Electrified (spends 75% Resolve): applies the debuff.
  3. Accept the Quick Assist prompt: your DPS comes back with the shield and +100 AP.

Tips

  • His Chain Attack also grants 75% Resolve and applies the debuff: use it whenever it doesn't cost your DPS a big hit.
  • Defensive Assist → Assist Follow-Up also triggers the shielded Quick Assist, handy when Energy is low.
  • Charging his EX is optional: it adds damage and Anomaly Buildup, but not Resolve.
  • The shield uses his ATK before combat: in-combat ATK buffs don't make it bigger.

Strengths

  • A 20% Anomaly Buildup RES cut to all attributes, easy to keep up.
  • Shields and +100 Anomaly Proficiency for himself and a chosen teammate.
  • Little field time, and a simple one-combo playstyle.
  • A-Rank: easy to get to M6, and his signature W-Engine is only A-Rank too.

Weaknesses

  • Only buffs himself and the Agent placed before him in the squad order.
  • His EX Special and held Basic Attack have slow animations.
  • Outclassed in endgame: Prydwen found no team using him among Shiyu Defense and Deadly Assault clears this cycle.
