Who Wins
- You lose early 1v1s levels 1-3 as Sett's Q auto resets and W true damage outdamage your Q poke in extended trades.
- At level 6 you gain significant advantage with R as it forces favorable teamfights and your sustain from passive becomes more relevant than his W shield.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading is E into Q combo when Sett uses abilities on minions, then back off immediately to avoid his gap close.
- Never trade when your E is down as Sett will run you down with Q movement speed and win extended fights pre-6.
Wave Control
- Push waves hard with Q to get priority and recall timing, as Sett struggles to match your waveclear but excels in frozen lanes.
- You want to avoid long freezes where he can run you down, instead creating short trades then resetting wave position.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight Sett in extended trades without your E spirit or when he has full grit for maximum W damage.
- Fighting him when he's low HP is especially dangerous due to his W true damage scaling with missing health.
