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 Shen

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay on the same side as his blade

    Stay on the same side as his spirit blade: if it doesn't pass through you, Twilight Assault (Q) deals much less damage.

  2. Trade after his E

    Take a trade after his Shadow Dash (E): it's both his taunt and his only dash, on an 18 to 10 second cooldown.

  3. No autos into his Refuge

    Don't waste autos on targets inside Spirit's Refuge (W): they're blocked there. Use spells instead, or wait for the zone to end.

  4. Interrupt his ult

    If you have CC, save it for Stand United (R): Shen channels before teleporting, and interrupting him keeps him away from the teamfight.

  5. Push when he leaves

    When he leaves lane with Stand United (R), ping your team and push your wave: each ult costs him minions and tower health.
