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 Zaahen

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Get out of his stab's line

    Get out of the line of Dreaded Return (W): the stab damages you, then pulls you toward him for a second hit.

  2. Back off after his first Glaive

    Back off once he has cast The Darkin Glaive (Q): if he recasts the spell, his next auto knocks you into the air.

  3. Avoid the edge of his slice

    Avoid the edge of the Aureate Rush (E) slice: at the tip, you take bonus damage based on your max health.

  4. Plan to kill him twice

    Save spells to finish him a second time: at max Determination stacks, Cultivation of War (passive) can bring him back to life.
