Read from Sett's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Pantheon.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | Pantheon wins Level 1 with Comet Spear poke and passive block before Sett's kit is online. |
| Level 2 | Pantheon | Pantheon stays ahead at Level 2 as W Shield Vault stun sets up burst Sett can't answer. |
| Level 3 | Pantheon | Pantheon keeps Level 3 with front-loaded all-in damage at his power spike. |
| Levels 4-5 | Sett | Sett stabilizes at Levels 4-5 by baiting W and committing E-Facebreaker. |
| Level 6 | Sett | Sett wins Level 6 as R and Grit out-brawl his fading early kit. |
| First item | Sett | Sett is favoured at first item since Pantheon falls off and Haymaker deletes his squishy frame. |
| Two+ items | Sett | Sett dominates 2+ items because Pantheon has no scaling and loses every extended fight. |
Pantheon owns levels 1-3. His Q Comet Spear pokes you from range, his passive blocks your first auto or spell, and W Shield Vault is a point-and-click stun that sets up a burst combo before your kit is online. Play safe, respect his all-in, and don't trade into a full W-Q.
