Level 1 favours Sett — his passive gives free auto damage and he's built to win a point-blank slugfest before your Q pattern exists. Don't stand and auto-trade him early; take safe CS and give ground when he steps up, because an E-into-W combo with a full grit bar chunks you hard. By level 2 it's closer but still not your fight. Keep E charges for disengage, not chasing, and don't let his grit fill from free trades.
