Read from Sett's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Heimerdinger.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Heimerdinger | Heimerdinger's turret wall, rockets, and stun zone you off the lane at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Heimerdinger | At level 2 his added turret and poke keep you pinned behind the wave. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | Through level 3 his full turret zone still out-ranges and out-pokes you. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Level 4 is a skill check — landing your E through the turrets swings it. |
| Level 6 | Sett | Your level-5 window lets your E-W burst punish his squishiness. |
| First item | Heimerdinger | With his first item his upgraded turrets and poke zone you out again. |
| Two+ items | Sett | Late game hinges on reaching him past the turret wall before he pokes you out. |
Heimerdinger owns levels 1-3 — his turret line, Hextech Micro-Rockets and the Electron Storm Grenade zone you off the wave, so give up CS, dodge the grenade, and bank the chip as Grit.

Sett takes Conqueror on the Precision tree with Triumph, Legend: Alacrity and Last Stand, and Resolve secondary (Second Wind and Bone Plating) vs Heimerdinger.
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 (Maw if his magic burst is the problem), with Mercury's Treads.
