Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1SettSett's passive double-punch and W store-and-smash out-trade you at Level 1 when you have only Q and no engage threat.
Level 2SettHe still owns Level 2 — his W true-damage smash and grit beat you before your Q-W combo comes online.
Level 3SettEven with your full Q3 knock-up at 3, his E grab-stun into a charged W wins the straight stat-check trade.
Levels 4-5Even / skillLevels 4-5 are a coinflip — your W unstoppable can refuse his all-in, but mistime it and his combo still kills you.
Level 6Even / skillAt 6 it's even: your All Out gives a 1v1 but strips your bulk exactly when his R suppress-slam guarantees lockdown.
First itemSettWith his first item Sett's grit and stored W smash still out-trade your single-item tank profile before your bulk piles up.
Two+ itemsK'SanteBy 2+ items you survive his W and R, out-sustain his trades, and peel with E and R recast — he has no scaling answer.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Sett owns the first three levels outright — his passive double-punch and his W, which stores the damage you deal him and fires it back as a true-damage smash, beat your Q-W combo before it's even online at Level 3. Don't feed his W by trading into it; last-hit at the edge of your Q cleave and accept some chip. The trap is his E grab-stun: if he yanks you in while his W is charged, you eat the smash with no answer until your own W unstoppable comes up. Just farm and survive — this lane is about reaching your items, not winning the slap-fight.
