Favour timeline — the windows in Fiora's game plan

Read from Fiora's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Sett.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1SettSett's Pit Grit double-punch and stored Haymaker true damage out-grit your level-1 Vital poke in the stat-check brawl he wants.
Level 2SettHe has no skillshot to dodge and his W smash punishes your trades, so your usual level-2 power spike is blunted into his grit.
Level 3Even / skillGenuinely even: your Q-into-Bladework guaranteed-crit Vital combo trades with his charged Haymaker, and a parried E grab can flip it your way.
Levels 4-5SettHe chains Haymaker charges and the E grab-stun into Pit Grit double-punches, out-brawling your low-cooldown Lunges before items.
Level 6SettHis R suppress-slam ignores your Vital chip and dunks you mid-combo toward his team — his hardest all-in beats yours at 6.
First itemSettSett's grit and Haymaker true damage still out-trade you on even items before your Ravenous Hydra spike lands.
Two+ itemsFioraRavenous Hydra plus Vital true damage shreds his stacked HP and the R heal zone clinches the duel — a no-dash bruiser is your prey late.

How to beat Sett as Fiora: the early game

Sett owns the very early lane Fiora usually bullies. His Pit Grit auto-resets and the stored Haymaker out-grit your Q-Vital pokes, and because he has no skillshot to sidestep, your level 1-3 trading windows mostly evaporate. Do not stand and brawl: his E (Facebreaker) grab is the cast you live and die by, so save Riposte to parry it — blocking that immobilize turns the return into a stun and flips the trade. Chip one Vital with Q and back off; true damage hurts his HP build, but punch-for-punch grit is his game, not yours.
