| Level 2 | Sett | At level 2 Sett's early Q-W pressure starts winning short trades. |
| Level 3 | Sett | By level 3 his shield-punch Haymaker and engage own the bully window. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 read even as your combo comes online to contest him. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 stays even — your R and combo match his The Show Stopper all-in. |
| First item | Zaahen | Your first item flips it: your sustain outlasts his plateauing burst. |
| Two+ items | Zaahen | With two items your sustained output grinds down a bully out of steam. |
Levels 1-2 are even before Sett's combo — he wants grit and level 3, so deny him free autos into his Haymaker (W) and just farm the opening levels.
