Read from Sett's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Akshan.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Akshan | Level 1 favours Akshan -- his Q Avengerang out-ranges you and pokes you off the wave. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 flips to you once your Q slow lets you close and trade. |
| Level 3 | Sett | Level 3 your E Facebreaker stun locks down the squishy marksman. |
| Levels 4-5 | Sett | Levels 4-5 you walk him down and out-brawl his poke with Grit healing. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 his R is a teamfight execute, not a duel escape -- you keep the edge. |
| First item | Sett | First item your Grit-charged W chunks his squishy bar faster than he pokes. |
| Two+ items | Akshan | By 2+ items Akshan stays fragile and dies to your engage every time. |
Level 1 Akshan edges you -- his Q Avengerang out-ranges your fists and chips you while you last-hit. Absorb the poke with P Pit Grit and don't over-walk before you have your slow.

Sett takes Conqueror on the Precision tree with Triumph, Legend: Alacrity and Last Stand, and Resolve secondary (Second Wind and Bone Plating) vs Akshan.
Start Doran's Shield + Health Potion (vs his poke) and back for Phage / Tiamat + boots (≈1300g). Build Stridebreaker (stick to them through the W panel window) first, then Sterak's Gage, with Plated Steelcaps.
