Lane plan
Before reaching level 6, position yourself nearby tentacles and cast [E] to deal damage. After reaching level 6, Sett can use his (R) to stay outside the tentacle’s range if you use [R] before. We recommend harassing Sett with [E], and to him to use (R) before you use [R].

Level 3: Sett's Haymaker (W) is 18s, your Test of Spirit (E) is 16s, so you're back first. Level 6: both ultimates 120s.
