Bruiser Sett positioning
A starting board for Bruiser Sett. Drag units to adjust it, switch to the anti-assassin layout when the lobby has divers, and copy the Team Planner code into the TFT client.
- Corner Kai'Sa on the back line and put Wukong in front of it.
- Split Kai'Sa and Kog'Maw across the back line so a single area spell can't hit both.
- Sett, Volibear , and Wukong hold the front line — put the tankiest one opposite the enemy carry.
- Against assassins, step your carries up one row and leave Cho'Gath and Kobuko & Yuumi in the back corners as bait.
Positioning board
Drag a unit onto another hex to move it — dropping on a unit swaps them.
When to play Bruiser Sett
Strengths

- Rarely played, so its units are usually free
- Highest late-game ceiling once the 5-costs are 2-starred
Weaknesses
- Needs Sett and Volibear at high cost, which can be hard to hit
- Weak until level 9 — you need HP to survive the econ phase
Strategic Tips
Economy
Stay on interest and save your big roll for level 9 at stage 5-1.
Itemization
Build Jeweled Gauntlet, Hand Of Justice, and Luden's Tempest 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 Bruiser Sett.
