Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1LilliaSett has only his passive double-punch at level 1 with no stored W yet, so you farm the Q sweetspot from range and give him nothing to punish.
Level 2Even / skillEven — you can chip with Q and start Dream Dust, but his level-2 double-punch trade hurts your squishy body if you overstep.
Level 3SettHis E grab-stun comes online and pins you into a stored W true-damage smash before your Q hops can kite — he owns this overstep window.
Levels 4-5SettA full E-W Sett out-trades you in any exchange where he lands the grab, and shoved to the wall you have no room to escape the all-in.
Level 6Even / skillCoin flip at 6 — your Lilting Lullaby sleep can blunt his engage, but his R suppress is point-and-click and ignores your kite if he commits first.
First itemSettHis bruiser first item plus passive grit lets him facetank your DoT and walk through it to land E into W on your low-HP frame.
Two+ itemsLilliaYour Liandry's/Blackfire W and Dream Dust now tick percent-HP and your Q move-speed stacking outruns an out-of-mana Sett's cooldowns — burn him from range.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Level 1 is actually mine — Sett only has his passive double-punch and no stored W yet, so I sit at max range and farm with the Q sweetspot, conceding nothing. The trouble starts at 2 and especially 3: once he has E he can grab-stun my squishy body out of nowhere, and a stunned Lillia with no defensive button eats his stored W true-damage smash for a brutal chunk. Never throw a Q from inside E range, never get shoved to the wall, and keep my Dream Dust DoT ticking from outside his grab so he pays HP just for walking at me.
