Read from Yorick's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Sett.
This is Yorick's own plan; across 2,103 pooled games the lane is leaning Sett.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Mourning Mist reaches 700 and marks him for your pack — level 1 is yours. |
| Level 2 | Sett | Sett's grit spike and shield let him win the short trades he seeks around level 2-3. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Every ghoul hit he takes feeds Grit — his Haymaker only grows through level 3. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Facebreaker into a full-Grit Haymaker beats your swarm until Eulogy is online. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | The Show Stopper lands at 6 on 120s and drags you out of your own pack. |
| First item | Yorick | His first item plus Grit uptime keeps short trades his until your second. |
| Two+ items | Yorick | Late, Yorick's split ceiling and solo swarm beat Sett's wasted engage, favoring you. |
Sett trades on roughly even terms early; his passive and W shield punish careless ghoul dumps while your E-mark and Q chip him down. Keep ghouls poking without feeding his Haymaker, and the opening stays a close skill match. Neither dominates.
