How to play it

✓

Bait his W

His W has a very long cooldown early: don't eat it for free, and the moment he wastes it, that's your safest window to trade.

✓

Steal the push

Place your blade pre-lane; if he leaves his wave open, auto it 4-5 times for the level-1 push (keep your Q), then trade and hunt the level-2 all-in.

✓

Don't extend trades

His passive is strong in extended trades, so only commit when you have a disengage ready or the kill is guaranteed: never get dragged into a long fight.

✕

Never let a trade go long: his passive turns extended fights in his favour, so always keep a disengage or a guaranteed kill ready before you commit.

Shen vs Sett in Top lane is a lane to avoid on patch 26.17. The one thing to respect: his W (Haymaker) hits like a truck but has a huge early cooldown, bait it, then punish the whiff.
