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 Teemo
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Only close in for a real trade
Only get close to him to start a real trade: each Teemo auto poisons you with Toxic Shot (E), and the poison keeps ticking while you back off.
- Trade after his dart
If you rely on autos, start your trade right after Blinding Dart (Q): he has nothing left to blind you with during its 7-second cooldown.
- Reveal his mushrooms
Before a dragon or Baron, move in with an Oracle Lens or a Control Ward: they reveal the Noxious Trap (R) mushrooms, which otherwise stay stealthed for minutes.
- Call your jungler when he steps up
Ask for a gank when he steps up in your lane: Teemo has no dash, and only the Move Quick (W) sprint helps him escape.
