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 Ryze

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Back off when he marks you

    Back off when Spell Flux (E) marks you: marked, Rune Prison (W) roots you instead of slowing you, and Overload (Q) hits you harder.

  2. Target him when he comes close

    If you can engage, target him when he comes close for his combo: he has no dash to get away.

  3. Interrupt his portal

    If you have CC, use it on Ryze while Realm Warp (R) is charging: it cancels the portal.
