How to win lane as Pantheon against Sett · 54.14% win rate over 1,762 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | At level 1 your point-and-click W stun damage beats his auto-double-punch before his W has anything stored. |
| Level 2 | Pantheon | Your level-2 W+Q all-in spikes hard while he is still a slow melee with no stored W and no dash to disengage. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | With all three basics you can W-in, empowered-Q, E-block his return punch — but a full grit Sett can store W and trade back, so it is a coinflip on execution. |
| Levels 4-5 | Sett | His HP stacks and his W starts banking your trade damage, so your raw kill pressure dips while he stabilizes. |
| Level 6 | Sett | At 6 his R suppress yanks you out of your E channel and his charged true-damage W ignores your shields on your low base HP. |
| First item | Sett | Around first item his Steraks/grit scaling outpaces your flat early-game damage, and his R flips any skirmish you start. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | By two items he out-scales hard — true-damage W and a bruiser frame — so play for R picks and roams, not the 1v1. |
Sett is a juggernaut with no early dash and zero ranged poke, so levels 1-3 are yours to bully. At level 1 your point-and-click W stun plus a Q tap out-trades him before his W has any stored damage to fire back. Poke the held, long-range Q from max distance so he eats it walking up to farm, and at 2-3 commit the W-stun in, empowered-Q, then hold E to face his return double-punch — his block damage goes to zero through your shield channel. Bait his E grab: if he whiffs the slow projectile, he has no way to catch you.
