Sett gains 0.15 / 0.5 / 1 / 2 health regeneration per second for each 5% missing health. P

Knuckle Down

Sett itches for a fight, gaining 30% movement speed towards enemy champions for 1.5 seconds. Additionally Sett's next two attacks deal an additional 10 / 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 (+1 / 1.5 / 2 / 2.5 / 3% per 100 total attack damage) plus 1% max health as physical damage. Q

Haymaker

Passive: Sett stores 100% of damage taken as grit, up to 50% of his maximum health. Grit decays in 4 seconds after the damage was taken.

Active: Sett consumes all grit, gaining a shield depending on the consumed grit, decaying over 3 seconds. Sett then delivers a massive punch, dealing 80 / 100 / 120 / 140 / 160 (+25% per 100 bonus attack damage) plus 25% of grit consumed as true damage to enemies in the center. Enemies not in the center instead take physical damage. W

Sett Tips and Tricks

Make sure you auto-attack before activating your Q. Since your Q is an auto-attack reset, auto-attacking first will help you deal more damage. Use your E to stun enemy champions and minions if they are close to each other. This is particularly useful when trying to set up ganks, as you can E between both the enemy and your jungler to provide crowd control. Activate your W while trading, but not at the start or the end of the trade. Using it at the right moment, typically in the middle, helps absorb follow-up damage while still dealing a decent amount of damage yourself.

Best Sett Build, Runes, and Items

For Summoner Spells, Flash and Teleport are ideal for mobility and map presence. Conqueror should be your keystone, as it provides sustain and damage in extended fights. Follow it up with Triumph, Legend: Alacrity, and Last Stand in the primary tree to enhance your dueling potential. For secondary runes, Second Wind helps with sustain in lane, and Unflinching provides extra tenacity to survive in teamfights.

For rune shards, Attack Speed in offense helps with auto-attacking and trading, Adaptive Force in flex boosts your damage, and Health Scaling in defense makes you more durable in longer fights.

Start with Stridebreaker as your first item to enhance your mobility and burst damage, followed by Plated Steelcaps for protection against AD threats. Hullbreaker comes next for split-pushing potential. Finish your build with Overlord's Bloodmail, Sterak's Gage, and Black Cleaver for a solid balance of damage and survivability.

Your skill order should be Q - W - E to maximize your damage and utility in trades.

Optional Build

If you prefer a different setup, Flash and Teleport remain your Summoner Spells. You’ll still want Conqueror as your keystone, with Triumph, Legend: Alacrity, and Last Stand in the primary tree. Second Wind and Unflinching remain in the secondary tree to offer sustain and resilience.

Start with Blade of The Ruined King to help shred through tanky opponents, followed by Plated Steelcaps for added durability. Stridebreaker follows for more mobility and damage. Complete your build with Sterak's Gage, Overlord’s Bloodmail, and Thornmail for added tankiness and crowd control.

Your skill order should remain Q - W - E.

Alternative Build

In this alternative, Flash and Teleport are your best Summoner Spells. You’ll still use Conqueror as your keystone and Triumph, Legend: Alacrity, and Last Stand in the primary tree, with Second Wind and Unflinching in the secondary tree for sustain and tenacity.

Start with Hullbreaker for split-pushing strength, followed by Plated Steelcaps for defense. Stridebreaker comes next for mobility. Finish the build with Overlord’s Bloodmail, Sterak’s Gage, and Spear of Shojin for more damage and cooldown reduction.

Your skill order continues to be Q - W - E.

Off-Meta Build

For an off-meta approach, use Flash and Teleport as your Summoner Spells. Grasp of the Undying, Demolish, Second Wind, and Overgrowth in the primary rune tree offer sustain and extra tankiness in extended fights. Last Stand and Triumph provide more damage and healing in critical moments.

For items, start with Stridebreaker for mobility, followed by Plated Steelcaps. Hullbreaker should be your third item for split-pushing. Complete the build with Overlord’s Bloodmail, Sterak’s Gage, and Blade of The Ruined King for added dueling potential.

Your ability order remains Q - W - E.

Situational Sett Runes and Items

Consider adapting your build based on the state of the game, your matchup, and the enemy team composition. For example, if you're facing a heavy AP champion, you may want to build more Magic Resist. If the enemy is stacking armor, opt for items like Black Cleaver or Blade of the Ruined King to help shred through their defenses. Always tailor your build to the specific needs of your match.
