How to play it

✓ DO

Never extend on him

Because of his grit, Sett's W (Haymaker) does huge true damage if you keep spinning on top of him too long — get out before he punches back.

Save W for his Q

His E pull is too hard to predict, so hold your W for his Q — the more consistent ability — and only W the pull when his engage is obvious.

Kite with Phase Rush

Auto → Q → E to proc Phase Rush, then sprint the opposite way as he chases so he can't line up his E pull or W on you.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never extend a trade on Sett — every extra spin feeds his grit and his W punishes you with true damage.
