What makes Sett dangerous
Sett builds a grit shield from damage taken, punches with alternating fists (his W stores and unleashes big true damage), and his ultimate slams a target down and displaces everyone around it. He's a durable frontliner who all-ins your backline and won't die in a straight brawl.
How to play against Sett
- 1Don't feed his W. His stored punch scales with the damage he takes — poking him builds his grit. Trade in bursts, not sustained hits, and disengage before he unloads.
- 2His W true damage is a cone in front — sidestep to his flank and it whiffs.
- 3Kite him — he has no gap-closer besides walking and his ult. Slows, ranged damage and space beat his short reach.
- 4Respect his ult grab: he pulls a carry into your team's damage or displaces your frontline. Watch his positioning before you group tightly.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓No mobility — heavily kiteable.
- ✓His stored W is fed by taking damage; short trades starve it.
- ✓Weak ranged threat.
- ✓Grievous Wounds cuts his shield/sustain builds.
Abilities & how to counter them
What each of Sett's abilities does — and how to play around it.
P
StreitlustigSett schlägt bei seinen normalen Angriffen abwechselnd mit der linken und der rechten Faust zu. Sein rechter Faustschlag ist etwas kräftiger und schneller. Sett hasst es außerdem, zu verlieren. Er erhält zusätzliche Lebensregeneration, die auf seinem fehlenden Leben basiert.
Q
Auf eigene FaustSetts nächste beide Angriffe verursachen zusätzlichen Schaden, der auf dem maximalen Leben seines Ziels basiert. Außerdem erhält Sett Lauftempo, wenn er sich auf gegnerische Champions zubewegt.
W
SchwingerSett speichert erlittenen Schaden als „Streitlust“. Bei Aktivierung wird die gesammelte Streitlust verbraucht, Sett erhält einen Schild und er schlägt im Zielbereich mit den Fäusten zu. Im Zentrum verursacht er absoluten Schaden, an den Seiten normalen Schaden.
Strong: stores damage taken into a big true-damage punch in a frontal cone. Weak: sidestep to his flank to dodge it, and short trades starve the stored damage.
E
Auf die ZwölfSett zieht alle Gegner zu sich heran, die auf beiden Seiten neben ihm stehen, fügt ihnen Schaden zu und betäubt sie. Falls sich nur auf einer Seite von ihm Gegner befinden, werden sie verlangsamt anstatt betäubt.
R
Das K.-o.-KriteriumSett packt einen gegnerischen Champion, springt mit ihm nach vorn und schleudert ihn dann zu Boden. Dabei verursacht er Schaden und verlangsamt alle Gegner in der Nähe der Einschlagstelle.
Strong: slams a carry down and displaces everyone around it. Weak: watch his positioning before you group — he needs to reach your backline to land it.
Itemization
Sett deals mixed physical and true damage. His true damage ignores armor, so don't rely on stacking it — kite him, use slows and Grievous Wounds against tank-sustain builds, and blow him up only after his grit shield expires.
