| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Sett | Sett's level-1 Grit shield and heavy autos turn your trades against you. |
| Level 2 | Sett | At 2 his auto pressure and shield keep him ahead in every exchange. |
| Level 3 | Sett | Level 3 Knuckle Down slow into Facebreaker pins you for his combo. |
| Levels 4-5 | Sett | Levels 4-5 his stored Haymaker punishes your burst with a true-damage return. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 5 it briefly evens as your ult threat forces some respect. |
| First item | Even / skill | Level 6 stays even-ish before his R suppress and tankiness take over. |
| Two+ items | Sett | Late his Haymaker return and R suppress make committing into him a loss. |
Levels 1-2 Sett wins the lane: Grit passive gives him a free shield every fight and his auto attacks hit hard, so your Silver Stake on-hit trades come back on you worse. Worse, dumping damage into him charges Haymaker (W). Farm at range, don't feed his W, and only step up when his Grit shield is spent.
