Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1SettSett's passive double-punch trades efficiently before your Frost stacks exist — take W, last-hit, and give him no free Grit bar charge.
Level 2SettHis Haymaker true damage is the highest early threat; avoid extended auto sequences and track the grey Grit bar before you commit.
Level 3Even / skillYour full Q-W-E combo is live, but so is his Facebreaker — fight only when E is on cooldown so your stun lands without a counter-grab.
Levels 4-5Even / skillBoth of you are scaling into items; bait his Facebreaker with a short step-up and save your Q engage for when it is burned.
Level 6SejuaniGlacial Prison gives you long-range stun he can never dash out of — every gank converts and the lane leverage flips decisively.
First itemSejuaniSunfire Aegis lets you absorb Haymaker's true-damage core and stay in the Q-W-E pattern, making you the durable aggressor for the first time.
Two+ itemsSejuaniFull-tank Sejuani with R and E CC chains makes Sett's burst irrelevant — your resistances outscale his damage and your teamfight lockdown wins every objective fight.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Level 1 belongs to Sett — his passive gives him a natural double-punch that trades efficiently before you have any Frost stacks built, so take W and last-hit at max range, letting him push. At Level 2 his Haymaker comes online and he will try to charge his Grit bar on you; respect that true damage and do not auto-trade into it. Your job through Level 2 is to track his W bar visually — a grey-bar Sett with no Grit is far less dangerous, and that is your window to step up and W-shred twice to apply Frost before retreating.
