Description Suspends itself midair and conjures 6 Windbite Bullets. After some time, absorbs all Windbite Bullets and fires 3 rounds of projectiles each covering expanding circular areas of the arena. Each projectile deals 100% ATK as Anemo DMG upon landing. Strategy A Cryo/Electro/Hydro/Pyro Bow user, especially one matching the element of the team's primary damage dealer, is helpful in this fight for taking full advantage of the Setekh Wenut's paralysis. Alternatively, coordinated attacks from Raiden Shogun's Elemental Skill and Dehya's Elemental Skill or Swirl Elemental Reactions triggered on the boss itself can reliably hit the Windbite Bullets. | |

- The ability is not on cooldown
- The target is within the range required by the ability
- The ability has the highest priority out of all that meet the previous 2 conditions

Tutorials
- Setekh Wenut
An apex predator deep in the desert that can use the power of Anemo to a certain extent, which allows it to leave the ground when in combat and enter a floating state. While floating, it can fire Windbite Bullets. If these bullets are not destroyed in time, they will be converted into a high-density curtain of such bullets. Attacks from elements that may react with Anemo can destroy Windbite Bullets, which temporarily decrease the corresponding Elemental RES of the Setekh Wenut. After 2 Windbite Bullets are destroyed in succession, the Setekh Wenut will be brought down from its floating state.
Descriptions
An eyeless predator from deep within the Great Red Sand that uses sound and vibrations to seek out its prey.
Legend has it that in the ancient past before even the concept of time was created, these creatures thrived with their progenitors and offspring in a land of verdant grass and colossal trees, traversing through slick soil like fishes diving through the wet.
With the passage of eons, the gifts of heaven has long reduced the soils to sand, rendering a great many creatures extinct. This branch of their genus was able to survive by adapting more toward earth-based living, and became known as the "Wenut."
Some desert folk still mistakenly believe that sandworms are the final point of a quicksand eel's life cycle, likely due to superficial similarities between the species' behaviors.

An eyeless predator that dwells within the depths of the desert and uses sound and vibrations to seek out its prey.
They sometimes take on forms very similar to those of plants, and some say that this is because they were once the scions of the lord of plants. Others say that this is their way of fooling their prey to seek fruits or food in their deadly shade.

Lord of the Desert
Legend has it that in the distant past, the scorching desert was once home to fragrant flowers and giant trees, and was inhabited by countless birds and beasts. Legend also has it that the only ones who remember it are the blind predators respectfully and fearfully referred to as "Wenut."
