Seth Lowell's Skill Priority

Seth Lowell's most important skills to level are his Core Skill, Assist, and Special.

How to Play Seth Lowell

Seth Lowell is a defensive support who specializes in shielding allies and increasing Anomaly damage. His gameplay revolves around building Resolve through EX Special Attack, Chain Attack, or Ultimate, then consuming it with his enhanced Basic Attack to trigger Quick Assist and bring a teammate back on-field.

When Seth uses his enhanced Basic Attack, he applies a Shield of Firm Resolve to the incoming ally, increasing their Anomaly Proficiency and improving their damage potential.

When his Additional Ability is active, Seth can also reduce enemies' Anomaly Buildup RES, allowing the team to trigger status effects more quickly as well.

Seth is most effective when played in short rotations: generate Resolve, use his enhanced Basic Attack to hand off to the main DPS, then swap out while maintaining shield uptime.

• Swap Seth in
• Use EX Special → gain 75% Resolve + self-shield
• Hold Basic
• Finisher triggers Quick Assist → sends your DPS in
• DPS benefits from:
• Shield
• Anomaly buffs
• Possible RES shred
• Repeat to refresh buffs regularly

Seth Lowell's Best Mindscapes

Seth's first Mindscape is definitely worth getting as it increases the efficiency of the Shield he provides, as well as a boost to the Anomaly Proficiency provided by his Core Passive. His M2 is interesting if you are looking for more Electric Anomaly Buildup, and his M6 is interesting if you manage to get it, as it provides guaranteed CRIT Rate and increased CRIT DMG, but it is not absolutely needed.
