Playing as K'Sante
Tips to maximize your impact
- Stack your Q on minions
Stack Ntofo Strikes (Q) on minions: after 2 hits, the next cast becomes a shockwave that stuns and pulls, so save it for the champion.
- Charge your W through CC
Charge Path Maker (W) when they throw CC at you: while charging, you're Unstoppable and take less damage, then your dash knocks back and stuns.
- Join an ally with your E
Cast Footwork (E) toward an ally to protect them or escape: the dash goes much farther, and you both gain a shield.
- Send your target through a wall
Knock your target into a wall with All Out (R): they go through it, you follow, and you hit harder at the cost of some of your health and resistances.
Playing against Sett
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
