| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Sett | Sett wins Level 1 as Poppy is passive and loses early auto trades. |
| Level 2 | Sett | Sett stays ahead at Level 2 with E-Facebreaker out-damaging her before armor scales. |
| Level 3 | Sett | Sett dominates Level 3 as true damage cuts through her early tank stats. |
| Levels 4-5 | Sett | Sett keeps the edge at Levels 4-5 by trading in open lane away from her wall-stun. |
| Level 6 | Sett | Sett wins Level 6 by baiting Keeper's Verdict then committing R and Grit. |
| First item | Sett | Sett is favoured at first item since Haymaker true damage and Grit out-brawl her. |
| Two+ items | Poppy | Poppy takes over at 2+ items as W negates his dashes and R disengages his all-ins. |
You win the opening levels. Poppy is passive early and your E Facebreaker plus Haymaker true damage out-trade her before she stacks armor. The one rule: stay off walls, because her E Heroic Charge only stuns if it slams you into terrain, and her W can eat your engage dash.
