Statistical Matchup Analysis

With 2.0% popularity, Illaoi constantly encounters meta-dominant Sett (7.6%, 2nd place out of 62 Top champions). Understanding how to play against this popular champion becomes essential for consistent Illaoi performance in the current patch. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Conqueror + Presence of Mind combination (100.0% win rate) plus optimal itemization Iceborn Gauntlet, Black Cleaver, Hullbreaker, and Plated Steelcaps boosts your chances from 47.3% to 70%+ - potentially game-changing.

Farm your way back: Illaoi's superior farming (6.68 vs 6.40/min, 28th among Top) offers a comeback path. Focus on safe CSing and capitalize on your 0.28 CS/min natural advantage. Damage doesn't equal wins: Illaoi outputs more damage (899 vs 896/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Complete dominance by Sett: leads in both matchup win rate (52.8%) and KDA (1.70 vs 1.40, 47th vs 61st place). Illaoi players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.

How to Beat Sett as Illaoi (Top)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

Except for rare builds, Illaoi deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Sett deals mainly physical damage (75.03%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Illaoi is higher farming statistics (ranked 28th among role champions) (versus 37th for Sett), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (1.7 versus 1.4) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Illaoi Top versus Sett Top matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Illaoi player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Sett player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

    Illaoi tips:

    • Tentacles are an immense source of power. Don't fight without them.
    • Spirits inherit their target's current health. If making a
    • Vessel
    • is your goal, try whittling your opponent's health down a bit first to make killing the spirit easier.
    • Leap of Faith is best used to follow-up a strong engage or when being engaged upon. Be careful about being the first one into a fight.
