Passive, spells and ultimate

Pit Grit (P)

Sett's basic attacks alternate between left and right punch. Right punch is slightly stronger and faster. Sett also hates losing, gaining additional health regeneration based off of his missing health.

Playing as Gwen

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Land 4 autos before your Q

    Land 4 autos before Snip Snip! (Q): each auto adds a snip, on top of the first and the last.

  2. Hit with the center of your Q

    Land the center of Snip Snip! (Q): in the center, part of the damage becomes true damage and each snip applies A Thousand Cuts (passive).

  3. Mist against poke

    Place Hallowed Mist (W) against poke and ranged CC: enemies outside the mist can't target you, except towers.

  4. Use all three casts of your R

    Cast all three Needlework (R) activations within 6 seconds: the first throws one needle, then three, then five, with growing damage.

Playing against Sett

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Leave the center of his punch

    Get out of the center of Haymaker (W): it deals true damage there, and the sides only deal physical damage.

  2. Keep your distance after Knuckle Down

    Keep your distance once Knuckle Down (Q) is used: he has no dash, and it's this spell that speeds him toward you.

  3. No big trade you can't finish

    Don't take a big trade unless you can finish it: Haymaker (W) stores part of the damage he takes as Grit, for a stronger shield and punch.

  4. Don't group behind your tank

    Don't stay grouped behind your tank: The Show Stopper (R) can slam them onto you, and the damage depends on their bonus health.
