Playing as Sett

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Start trades with Knuckle Down

    Start your trades with Knuckle Down (Q): you rush toward your target, and your next two autos deal bonus damage based on their max health.

  2. Haymaker after taking damage

    Cast Haymaker (W) right after taking damage: the stored Grit gives you a shield and extra damage, dealt as true damage in the center of the punch.

  3. Don't back too early

    Don't back too early at low health: Pit Grit (passive) increases your health regen based on your missing health.

  4. Stand between two enemies

    Stand between two enemies before Facebreaker (E): grabbed from both sides, they're stunned, otherwise only slowed.

  5. Slam their tank onto their carries

    Grab their tank with The Show Stopper (R) and slam them onto their carries: the damage around the impact depends on the bonus health of the target you grab.

Playing against Aatrox

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Avoid the edge of his blade

    Stick to him or step out of range when he casts The Darkin Blade (Q): only the edge, at the end of each swing, knocks you into the air and deals full damage.

  2. Get out of his chains fast

    Leave the Infernal Chains (W) zone before it closes, with a dash if you have one: otherwise you get pulled back to the impact point and take the damage again.

  3. Trade after his blade

    Take a trade right after the three swings of The Darkin Blade (Q): it's his only knock-up, with a 14 to 6 second cooldown depending on rank.

  4. Short trades

    Take short trades: Umbral Dash (E) heals him for part of all the damage he deals to champions, so a long trade favors him.

  5. Respect his level 6

    Once he hits level 6, back off when he casts World Ender (R): he gains AD and increased healing, and every takedown extends its duration.
