How to beat Sett

Common role: Top

A tanky brawler who punches harder the more he's hurt and suplexes your carry.

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
  Roi de l'arène

  Lors de ses attaques de base, Sett alterne son direct du gauche et son direct du droit. Le direct du droit est un peu plus puissant et rapide. De plus, Sett déteste perdre, ce qui augmente la régénération de ses PV selon ses PV manquants.

• Q
  Rogne

  Les deux prochaines attaques de Sett infligent des dégâts supplémentaires en fonction des PV max de la cible. De plus, Sett augmente sa vitesse de déplacement quand il se dirige vers des champions ennemis.

• W
  Coup cathartique

  Passivement, Sett stocke une partie des dégâts qu'il subit sous forme d'agressivité. À l'activation, Sett dépense toute l'agressivité stockée pour gagner un bouclier et donner un coup de poing à effet de zone qui inflige des dégâts bruts au centre et des dégâts physiques sur les côtés.

  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
  Casse-tête

  Sett attire les ennemis venant de deux directions opposées pour leur infliger des dégâts et les étourdir. S'il n'y avait des ennemis que dans une direction, ces ennemis sont ralentis au lieu d'être étourdis.

• R
  Le Clou du spectacle

  Sett saisit un champion ennemi et l'emporte dans les airs avant de l'écraser au sol, infligeant des dégâts et ralentissant tous les ennemis près de son point d'atterrissage.

  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.
