| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even skill — Sett hasn't stored grit yet, so early punches trade evenly with your crits. |
| Level 2 | Sett | Level 2 favours Sett — Haymaker comes online and his punch cadence wins the first real trade. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is even skill — you can trade back briefly before his W is stored again. |
| Levels 4-5 | Sett | Level 4-5 favours Sett — stored Haymaker and Q slow let him win every extended exchange. |
| Level 6 | Sett | Level 6 favours Sett — Facebreaker (E) into The Show Stopper (R) is a kill combo even through your ult. |
| First item | Tryndamere | First item favours Tryndamere — crit lifesteal out-sustains his Haymaker and beats his cooldowns. |
| Two+ items | Tryndamere | Two-plus items favours Tryndamere — you outscale a tanky Sett 1v1 and split-push past his burst. |
Level 1 is even skill — before Sett stores grit his punches trade roughly with your Bloodlust crits, so it's a careful farm start. By level 2 he pulls ahead as Haymaker and his punch cadence come online.
