Track: Lucian's E — Relentless Pursuit (16–14s cooldown). His dash + reset. Engage when it's down.
Read from Sett's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Lucian.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lucian | Lucian out-pokes you at level 1 with double-shot passive and Q from range. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is skill-tested as you close gaps and he tries to space with E. |
| Level 3 | Sett | Level 3 E Facebreaker lets you root and punish his squishy body. |
| Levels 4-5 | Sett | Through levels 4-5 your sustain and lockdown win extended trades. |
| Level 6 | Sett | Level 6 is a read: your R catches, his 110s ult answers from range. |
| First item | Sett | On first item your HP and Q slows out-duel his falling burst. |
| Two+ items | Sett | At 2+ items it is a read — you win the side-lane duel, he wins with range and a team. |
Lucian bullies level 1-2: his passive double-shot and Q Piercing Light chunk your Grit from range before you can reach him, and his E Relentless Pursuit resets any gap you close. Farm safely and lean on Pit Grit sustain rather than forcing bad trades.

Sett takes Conqueror on the Precision tree with Triumph, Legend: Alacrity and Last Stand, and Resolve secondary (Second Wind and Bone Plating) vs Lucian.
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.
