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 Warwick
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Stay above 50% health
Keep your health above 50%: below that, Blood Hunt (W) gives him speed toward you and attack speed, three times more below 25%.
- Finish him fast below 50% health
When he drops below 50% health, finish him fast, with CC if you have any: Eternal Hunger (passive) then heals him with each auto, three times more below 25%.
- Don't count on a dash to escape
If you have a dash, don't count on it to escape his held bite: Jaws of the Beast (Q) makes him follow all your movement, then leap behind you.
- Stay behind your tanky allies
In teamfights, stay behind your tankiest allies: Infinite Duress (R) suppresses the first champion hit, and its range grows with his move speed.
- Cut his healing
If you have Grievous Wounds, apply it to him: his autos heal him at low health, and Infinite Duress (R) heals him for all the damage it deals.
