Playing as Sett
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Stand between two enemies
Stand between two enemies before Facebreaker (E): grabbed from both sides, they're stunned, otherwise only slowed.
- 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 Pantheon
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Trade after his Shield Vault
Take a trade when Shield Vault (W) is on cooldown: it's his only spell to leap onto you and stun you, on a 13 to 9 second cooldown.
- Go around his Aegis
During Aegis Assault (E), go around him or wait it out: he ignores damage from the front, except from towers.
- Back before you get too low
Back before your health gets too low against him: below a health threshold, Comet Spear (Q) deals much more damage.
- Ping when he leaves lane
Ping your team as soon as he disappears from lane: Grand Starfall (R) lands him from long range, after a short delay that gives you time to get away.
- Drag the game out
If you survive his first minutes, play for time: Pantheon looks to get ahead early through his trades and roams.
