Set Build

Solo 1

Notes Still good in warrior axe usage
Set is an assassin so he highly benefits from power. He has good safety, poke and good clear so he can build power early and avoid 1v1 since protection outtrades damage.

Warrior's Axe

Berserker's Shield

Jotunn's Vigor

Shogun's Kusari

Caduceus Club

Mantle of Discord

Solo 2

Notes This build provides enough power to clean wave fast but also increases the jungle clear, so it would be good, but dangerous to steal enemy camps fast and level up through it. This build will be increasing Set's attack speed throughout the match.

Eye Of The Jungle is also giving sustain, that so important on the solo lane, so with that item uncle Set want to go stealing Harpies!

Runeforged Hammer greatly synergizes with Skewer' slow, especially useful while ulting!

Mantle of Discord provides rare but useful cc-immunity, that Set has not in the kit.

Eye Of The Jungle

Berserker's Shield

Runeforged Hammer

Protector Of The Jungle

Set's Skill Order Notes As Solo Set have to focus on Skewer, Spawn of Set and Kingslayer, in order to increase ultimate burst damage and wave clear. The second ability leveled can be either Spawn of Set or Sandstorm, depends on situation in 1v1

Abilities

Relentless

Stacking offensive passive

Each time Set damages an enemy, Set gains a stack of Relentless. Each stack increases Set's Attack Speed. While Kingslayer is active, Relentless has no maximum stack count. Horus provides two stakcs

Passive that provides a little attack speed bust with every tick of damage from Set. This passive is synergizes with set kit and most power this passive is providing while Set is enraged with as this passive become uncapped and Set is able to get max attack speed only through this, especially powerful in combination with as this ability can generate passive staks very fast.

+ Extra attack speed.
+ Works with every type of damage outcome even with AI.
+ Synergizes with kit.
+ Can be uncapped.
+ Stacks can be gained remotely with and from distance

– The amount of bonus attack speed in regular situations is small.
– Fades fast.
– Stacks can not be gained from jungle camps while they are immune to damage.
– Healing much lower than damage Horus must receive to get stacks.

Spawn of Set

catalyst for other abilities

Set conjures a Spawn of himself made of sand. These Spawn will stand where summoned and attack nearby enemies, and can be .

Due to the specific of Usurper' kit this ability should be learned at first, as this is a catalyst for all Set' abilities. In most cases and scenarios this ability is meant to interact with the rest of Set' kit. As standalone ability Spawn of Set has very limited usage, but they start to shine when Set bacome combining them with other his abilities.

++++ The main purpose is to synergize with the rest of the kit.
++ Can be used to receive assistance rewards.
++ Untargetable, unkillable.
+ Their damage will generate stacks of , can be used to keep them online.
+ Can be placed from a distance to help clear camps, waves.
+ These provide a little vision around themself, but smaller than wards.
+ Poke potential.

––– The main purpose is to synergize with the rest of the kit, thus having a low standalone potential, no effects.
–– Only 2 of them can be placed in the base situation.
–– Low base damage.
– Can not move.
– Does not appliy any item effects.
– Can not damage jungle camps while they are immune to damage.

Skewer

line projectile

Set amasses his hatred, throwing it forward. Enemies caught in its path are damaged and slowed

The main Set' ranged damage ability. Very spammy and synergizes with his kit. Using this ability Set will command all the clones placed by either manually and to dash in that direction, damaging every god on their way. Any dash after the first will deal less damage. Set will get one stack of for each enemy hit with every spawn. This ability is also applies a slow in a main projectile, which can be use to chase the enemy.

+++ Has a damage increase with each spawn dash.
++ Applies slow.
+ Low cooldown.
+ Has a big range.
+ Can be used to command Spawn to dash very far (100+units) mostly to poke the enemy and prevent them from recaling.
+ Stacks can be gained remotely with and from distance
+ Applies a stack of for every hits, can be used to keep stacks online.

–– Hard to aim, especially combined with Spawn.
–– Requires experience and practice to control the Spawn.
–– Any dash after the first will deal less damage.
– Has some delay.
– Slow only in the main projectile.

Sandstorm

AOE damage and big utility

Set conjures a Sandstorm around him, damage all enemies around him, protecting him from Physical Damage and causing him to be immune to Slows

The most important Set' ability. This one works for many purposes, but can not be used for all of them at the same time, thus Set' should always decide carefully what he needs in current situation. One part of his sandstorm is providing damage, physical protection, blind and slow immune - Set conjures sandstorm around himself, that damages enemies, disrupts them with blind effect, every tick of that damage for every enemy will provide the stack of and also increase the speed of getting Marks of . Another part of this ability is movement - If Set is targeting his Spawn when this ability is cast or during its casting, he will immediately teleport to the spawn, upon teleportation he will get sandstorm activated, and also it will out of cooldown earlier. He also can delay this teleportation during all the sandstorm duration, but this will increase cooldown. So thus can be used either as engaging tool, to increase damage output and combine it with , or as escape tool but costing a damage. For example, if Set will uses that as engage he will lose his escape.

+++ Has a big synergy with Set' kit.
++ This one is a teleport, so can be used over obstacles.
++ Can be used as an escape tool.
+ Can be used as an engagement tool.
+ Very good at chasing enemies.
++ AOE damage and blind.
+ Slow immunity.
+ Physical protection increases survivability.

–––– Every time Set uses this ability for any type of usage he instantly limits himself from getting another.
––– The only mobility in his kit, which can be used only once and for one goal - in or out.
–– Long cooldown as for such important ability.
– Low single-target damage.
– Slow only in the main projectile.

Kingslayer

Charging up ultimate

Set enrages, channelling his rage towards his enemies, gaining increased Movement Speed

Set ultimate can be considered as default AA Stim, but this is wrong, is not just stim but an ability that makes Set deadlier as longer he unleashes his rage. Beginning as simple DPS ability Kingslayer needs some time to charge up before dealing a final Blow as massive AOE BURST. In order of that every tick of damage he dealt during ultimate will increase his attack speed until cap, which increases the speed he is generating Marks on enemies as well as the damage output he provides. Every 4 marks they will explode, dealing bonus damage, healing Set, and also generate charge of , if he has all 2 charges ready they will automatically spawn around the enemy. And the longer he is alive and keeps damaging gods the faster he will attack and generate up to 8 Spawns around which he can command to dash with Skewer to damage everyone from multiple directions and multiple times to finally make that last big aoe fatal blow. This is why using Sandstorm during Kingslayer is very important, as his ultimate becoming an AOE, damaging and marking every god around him insanely fast, providing choac and increasing the speed he charges up his maximal burst.
Using this ability Set should consider making Spawn manually to increase damage output and maybe using AA cancelling.

+++ Has a big synergy with Set' kit.
+++ Can be applied on multiple gods at the same time via which increases the speed of charging up the final burst.
+++ Can deal an insane amount of both AOE and single target damage the longer Set lives.
++ Besides DPS bonus damage can provide big bursts the longer Set deals damage.
+ Bonus speed can be used as an escape, or chase tool.
+ Has a self heal.
+ Has bonus damage.

––– Needs time to charge up before final strike.
–– In order to increase the speed of charging up this ability, Set has to put himself against multiple enemies.
––– Very vulnerable to antiheal.
– Low single-target damage.
– Slow only in the main projectile.

Mind if I ask why your skill maxing order is the way it is?

(3) |

do you mean prioritizing 1 and 2? Because it increases the damage of skewer and dash. # damage is irrelevant and needs to mostly trigger mark of set faster

(394) |

I think he means why is your skill leveling so haphazard? I would agree here...you have your first ability maxed at level 14. Typically this would happen at level 10 for , with being maxed at 14.

The way you are leveling your abilities is not quite random, but should be more focused. For any damage dealer, you want to maximize your best minion clear ASAP, which is . I think I get why you might want to get 3 points in Spawn earlier (due to a decrease in CDR and the increasing duration), but it's not worth it enough when the majority of the damage is based on the damage Skewer is doing.

So...Skewer should be leveled at 1, 4, 6, 7, and 10.
Spawn should be leveled at 2, 8, 11, 12, and 14.

You forgetting, that Dash damage if connected to Spawns of Set. And leveling them will increase the damage for each of 8 clones in ultimate which is his actual main damage source if you not only reliant on ranged poke

(394) |

Ah this is true, but I still think you typically wouldn't level the way you're suggesting. I would just keep it simple.
