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
Coraje del fosoLos ataques básicos de Sett alternan entre un puñetazo con la izquierda y uno con la derecha. El puñetazo con la derecha es ligeramente más fuerte y rápido. Sett odia perder, por lo que gana regeneración de vida adicional en función de la vida que le falte.
Q
Nudillos a puntoLos siguientes dos ataques de Sett infligen daño adicional en función de la vida máxima del objetivo. Sett también obtiene velocidad de movimiento mientras se mueve hacia campeones enemigos.
W
TrastazoSett acumula de forma pasiva el daño que recibe como coraje. Con el lanzamiento, Sett gasta todo el coraje acumulado para obtener un escudo y da un puñetazo en una zona, lo que inflige daño verdadero en el centro y daño físico a los lados.
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
RompecarasSett atrae a todos los enemigos que están a ambos lados, los aturde y les inflige daño. Si solo había enemigos en un lado, quedan ralentizados en vez de aturdidos.
R
El gran espectáculoSett levanta a un campeón enemigo y lo estampa contra el suelo, lo que inflige daño y ralentiza a todos los enemigos próximos a la zona de impacto.
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.
