Strengths

• Can provide shields to protect party members.
• Great to use even at low-investment.
Weaknesses

Seth works well with Anomaly units since his shields can provide an Anomaly Proficiency buff, which increases the Attribute Anomaly DMG.

Do note that he needs to be slotted after your Main Anomaly since the Quick Assist from Seth will tag in the previous character.

Seth Best W-Engines

Recommended W-Engines

These W-Engines are rated based on their performance at Update Level 0.

W-Engine Effect

All W-Engine (Weapon) Guides

Peacekeeper - Specialized is the Best for Seth

Peacekeeper - Specialized is Seth's signature W-Engine and it synergizes well with him since it provides Energy Regen while shielded. You can use other W-Engines that provide ATK stats to increase his Shield durability.

Seth Best Drive Discs

★★★ - Best Set!
Swing Jazz is great on Seth since it provides him Energy Regen and allows him to buff the party's DMG. Hormone Punk is a nice 2-piece set since it provides ATK stats for his shield.
ZZZ - Shockstar DiscoShockstar Disco
(4-pc)
ZZZ - Hormone PunkHormone Punk

★★☆ - 2nd Best
Seth has a decent amount of Daze on his kit, so Shockstar Disco is a good alternative especially if another character is already using the 4-piece Swing Jazz.

Seth Skill Priority

Skill Priority Explanation
Zenless Zone Zero - Core Skill IconCore Skill ★★★★★ Seth's Core Skill will increase his shield and Anomaly Proficiency buff, so max this out as soon as you can.
Zenless Zone Zero - Basic AttackBasic Attack ★★☆☆☆ Seth doesn't need to do damage with his Basic Attack, so this can be ignored. If Seth has his M6 unlocked, you can consider upgrading this to deal a massive amount of DMG.
Zenless Zone Zero - DodgeDodge ☆☆☆☆ Seth doesn't use his Dash Attack or Dodge Counter that often, so you can skip out on upgrading his Dodge.
Zenless Zone Zero - AssistAssist ★★★☆☆ Seth's Assist can be upgraded since his Defensive Assist can deal a decent amount of Daze.
Zenless Zone Zero - Special AttackSpecial Attack ★★★☆☆ Upgrading Seth's Special Attack simply increases the DMG and daze.
Zenless Zone Zero - Chain AttackChain Attack ★★★☆☆ You can also upgrade Seth's Chain Attack since it does deal a decent amount of damage to the enemy.

When upgrading Seth's Skills, you should prioritize his Core Skill to increase his defensive capability and Anomaly Proficiency buffs to the party.

You can save the rest of the skills for last since all it does is increase the damage and Daze, which is optional for Seth.
