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 Jax

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Start trades with Counter Strike

    Start your trades with Counter Strike (E): you dodge autos and take less area damage, and each dodged auto adds damage to the stunning counterattack.

  2. Look for long trades

    Look for long trades: each consecutive auto increases your attack speed thanks to Relentless Assault (passive).

  3. Ward hop to escape

    To escape, place a ward and jump to it with Leap Strike (Q): it can target any unit or ward, allied or enemy.

  4. Activate your R up close

    Activate Grandmaster-at-Arms (R) up close: it only grants armor and magic resist if it hits a champion, and your bonus hits then land every other auto.

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.
