He has to walk through three minefields to touch you — bomb every step-up and never stand still once Facebreaker is up.
Track: Sett's E — Facebreaker (16–10s cooldown). The pull-stun starts his combo — stay off the line between him and units.

| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | Level 1 your Q out-ranges Sett's melee and he has no gap-closer to punish you. |
| Level 2 | Ziggs | Level 2 you keep poking freely while he builds grit with no way to reach you. |
| Level 3 | Ziggs | Level 3 Facebreaker's 490 pull plus true-damage Haymaker flips any trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | Through 4-5 the Grit he banks off your poke becomes his shield. |
| Level 6 | Sett | At 6 Sett's Show Stopper suplex plus Facebreaker stun is a guaranteed all-in. |
| First item | Ziggs | With items his Grit shield and raw health blunt your first-item burst. |
| Two+ items | Ziggs | Late your siege out-ranges him, but one Show Stopper reaches your line. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: your Q out-ranges Sett's autos and he has no dash, so poke him freely every time he steps up to last-hit.
