Small correction, I misspoke at 4:40, I meant AP in Slot 4. But I'm too lazy to re-record lol.

[fatcheese]

Grace + Seth + Jane Doe = Busted Disorder Team

[zendao]

He's basically glued to Jane now, both in story and in gameplay.

[maryla]

praying to whatever god will hear me to pull seth + his sig on jane's banner

[itsjhnnypr]

9:53 Signatures W-Engies cannot be crafted. We will need to 100% pull for it. Also, is not an "If he gets it", we already know.

[Zetasaber]

I was hoping defense agents would be alternative to stunners. Seems like thats what is going on

[clyden]

Piper would definitely love that shield that Seth provides, given that you will likely facetank damage if you want to go on a full spin combo

A good ration is probably:
Jane Combos > Parry into Seth > Do all Seth Combos > Quick assist via charged BA into Piper > Spin2Win

[Sam-upul]

Honestly I think he'll also be really good in a mono-shock Grace hypercarry, Rina with 4p Jazz + 2p Freedom(AP 4, AM 6), Seth with 4p Shockstar + 2p Jazz/Freedom(depending on ER), AP slot 4 and ER 6, then if he gets a weapon at some point with ER switch 6 to Impact.

Can run with Plug/Magneti/some sort of generic Damageboo and focus on utilizing Grace's core passive to the max while also not being as fragile/awkward to play as Grace/Rina/Nicole currently is. Especially with his assist forward, it will allow for incredibly quick/fluid rotations as you can just zip about depending on what needs refreshing.

[Crummock-buin]

I heard next patch might come with a new BIS disc set for defense units so don’t go crazy prefarming for him

[thenovakayne]

I think having an impact main stat on him will benefit since nobody will be using an actual stunner in a seth/jane comp

[Luftgitarrenprofi]

I'll wait it out probably until the last few days of Janes banner to see how they perform and what Ceasar and Burnice will end up providing. Not really a big fan of Janes gameplay, but I might snatch two or three Seths from the banner in any case to get more anomaly team options later.

[Pheonee]

OOOH thank you for the video! I was going to pull Jane and Seth completely blind because i LOVE their designs, so the idea that they have decent kits and even work well together is truly music to me. 1.2 units don't speak to me as much visually so I am likely going for Jane's wengine too; praying for plenty of Seths and Seth-gines along the way... and I lucked into Rina on standard so I am considering putting her in that last slot, but I'm also happy to try out Piper in that team! Sorry to yap, I'm just excited for the future! 🎉

[abdullahumar]

I'm a Player who take Pride is Unga Bunga so I will not stress combo and cordinations too much, so I'll but Seth with Anton and Ben for a team, this should keep every effect and skills activated and all thats left is just to see how he plays

[CupCop]

I could see him on 4 p freedom blues with 2 p energy as far I've seen the 4 star sig it seems to also build anomaly build on his on ex attacks which in return would allow grace to go for another set since he would provide the build up shred since I see a problem with jazz only working on chain attacks or ultimate which I don't feel u want to waste it on Seth

On Rina I do because she supplier's energy which in turn also allows me to apply anomaly faster.

[MrMokey]

May I ask where you get the damage calculations from?

[pedroat]

I like these pre-release analysis, very useful for planning for what is coming next. I know the likes of that Qingyi's buff video are not common on your channel, but that was super important too, specially for my decision making about pulling for Qingyi

[jean-thomato]

he indeed has a signature w engine, it was shown in the 2nd phase banner and it looked like his design

[critterval]

Sadly i probably won’t be able to pull for him. But gawd damn he’s much more fun to play than I initially thought

[Red_Throat_Bird]

I was thinking the same thing about him but not that high x)
Ben was the only defense character then it was complicated to see the global purpose of that archetype. But like Ben, Seth is a hybrid between stuner, buffer and sub dps. really cool.
King Caesar seems to confirm that.

[TatsuRyuByo]

I use Grace (On field) with Piper Rina as my anamoly team and the swapping works well and the damage is respectable, Piper does just fine being off field until she runs in uses and ex special to proc assault and disorder and leaves again, Grace being able to burst shock on as well works wonders even without needing a stunner. Maybe I'm missing something but I have been running anamoly teams without a stunner and have been not meeting TO MUCH resistance.

I am new ISH and haven't gotten much further than simply getting units to lvl 40 with decent w drives so take what im saying with a grain of salt.
