How to play it

✓ DO

Bait his E

His E stuns you into his W combo — bait it out, and if he does grab you, immediately W and E out of his auto range.

Punish the whiff

When he misses his E, step in for a short trade and pop your own W to negate his Haymaker return damage.

Kite and poke

Never brawl him head-on — kite outwards and chip him with Q's; without E or Flash he can't even reach you.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never stand and brawl him — a fist fight with Sett is a fight you lose, and his E-stun into W can one-shot you late; treat him like Darius, a threat even when behind.
