Mechanical Tips

  • Pit Grit (passive): Auto-attacks alternate between left and right — the right-hand attack deals more damage and is faster — complete the left-right cycle BEFORE using Knuckle Down (1) to avoid the post-right delay
  • Haymaker (2) true damage: the Grit converted into a shield deals true damage at the centre of the cone — position Sett so that the enemy is in the centre (not at the edges) for maximum true damage
  • Facebreaker (3) stun: the third ability stuns (rather than slows) only if enemies are on BOTH sides of Sett — position yourself in the middle of a group or wait for two enemies to get close
  • The Show Stopper (Ult) – two uses: either suplex an enemy carry towards your own team for a team burst, or suplex the enemy frontline towards their own backline to split them up

Common Mistakes

  • Haymaker without sufficient Grit: wait until you’ve taken at least 2–3 hits before using Ability 2 — the true damage is proportional to the Grit accumulated
  • Facebreaker into thin air: using ability 3 without an enemy on either side will not stun — plan your positioning beforehand or use ability 3 solely to pull or slow a single target
  • The Show Stopper direction: the ultimate throws the target in the direction you point — calculate the angle correctly; a wrong direction may send the enemy towards your own team, helping them rather than hindering them

Notable Interactions

  • Sett can build up Grit from turret damage — during a dive, the Haymaker can be heavily charged
  • The Haymaker’s true damage ignores shields — ideal against Lulu/Janna/Karma compositions
  • With Sterak’s Gage, Sett’s survivability in teamfights is extremely high
