A leader of Ionia's growing criminal underworld, Sett rose to prominence in the wake of the war with Noxus. Though he began as a humble challenger in the fighting pits of Navori, he quickly gained notoriety for his savage strength, and his ability to take seemingly endless amounts of punishment. Now, having climbed through the ranks of local combatants, Sett has muscled to the top, reigning over the pits he once fought in.
Runeterra's premier underworld crime lord, Sett, has arrived in the world of Riftbound. Released in the first set, Origins, Sett is a Body and Order Champion that revolves around the Buff mechanic and units that are difficult to deal with in combat. With this, he aims to control the battlefield by sending in tanky and mighty units to be able to pummel his way to a win, using his legend, The Boss to recur killed units over and over.
Sett's Champion card, Sett Kingpin, is pretty simple but gives a good idea of exactly how to play his deck. He rewards you for buffing your other units by growing himself, but also has the Tank mechanic, which forces him to be the first unit to take damage in combat. This means that you can easily control how combat unfolds, which is exactly what a Body and Order deck wants to do.
Sett Signature Cards
Sett's signature cards are both perfect examples of how he wants to play, revolving around buffing your units and using them in ways to outsmart your opponent. The Boss is an integral part of Sett's identity, letting you bring back buffed units that have been killed, which is a great amount of value if done correctly. With a key card recurring, you can possibly lock your opponent out of being able to take a battlefield effectively.
Showstopper is simple but effective, letting you buff a unit and then move it to a battlefield for a singular Energy and Rune. With this, you can launch surprise attacks that are difficult to deal with, letting you get the upper hand on your opponents and ensuring that you can take over battlefields before your opponents can deal with it.
Sett Staple Cards and Synergies
This will be updated as cards are revealed over spoiler season.
We haven't seen much of Sett's card pool, but cards that can buff units or units that buff themselves are going to be premium for his deck. An example of this is Cithria of Cloudfield, who can stick around every turn if required, if you can keep pushing units out.
Otherwise, cards like Cruel Patron and Cull the Weak are great to use with The Boss, as you can break the parity of killing one of your units due to being able to recur it if it's buffed.
Otherwise, keep an eye out on this page as we see more cards over the coming weeks, as it seems like Sett is going to have one of the most intriguing card pools in the game.
