- Corner Yunara on the back line and put Wukong in front of it.
- Split Yunara and Ahri across the back line so a single area spell can't hit both.
- Sett, Yone, and Wukong hold the front line — put the tankiest one opposite the enemy carry.
- Against assassins, step your carries up one row and leave Shen and Neeko in the back corners as bait.

When to play Ionia Sett
Strengths
- Big power spike once Kennen hit 3 stars
- Two damage threats (Sett and Yone) make itemizing flexible
- Rarely played, so its units are usually free
- Strong mid game once the reroll units are upgraded
Weaknesses
- Average place is worse than 97% of comps of the same board size
- Needs Sett and Yone at high cost, which can be hard to hit
- Falls off hard if someone else is rerolling Kennen
Strategic Tips
Economy
Reach 50 gold, then slow roll at level 7 with only the excess until Kennen are 3-starred.
Itemization
Build Thief's Gloves, Bloodthirster, and Rabadon's Deathcap on Sett.
When to pivot
Scout at 2-1 and 3-2: if two or more players hold your core units, or you haven't found any by 3-2, move into one of the comps on the Similar Comps tab instead of forcing Ionia Sett.
