| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Sett | Sett's passive fists and trade stats beat you outright at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Sett | His shielded Haymaker (W) burst keeps him ahead at level 2. |
| Level 3 | Sett | At level 3 his Facebreaker (E) stun sets up combos you can't answer. |
| Levels 4-5 | Sett | Through level 4 his HP and shielded true damage still out-trade you. |
| Level 6 | Sett | At level 5 his CC and burst keep kill pressure firmly his. |
| First item | Sett | At level 6 his Show Stopper (R) suppress can flat kill you. |
| Two+ items | Master Yi | Late game your on-hit and true damage finally out-scale his HP bar. |
Sett owns levels 1-3 hard: his passive fists out-trade your autos, Haymaker (W) shields him then deals true damage, and Facebreaker (E) stuns you into his combo. There is no early trade you win - just farm, stay out of E range, and don't die to his all-in.
