Sett combos

Written guide · based on the official ability texts

The trade

Q AA AA AA AA

When: An enemy is within range.

Knuckle Down raises your speed toward enemies and your two attacks deal damage based on max health; Facebreaker stuns if there are enemies on both sides.

Recovery

W AA AA

When: You have taken a lot of damage.

Haymaker spends all the stored Grit: a shield and an area punch, true damage at the center.

The show-stopping ultimate

When: A carry is within range.

The Show Stopper lifts an enemy champion into the air before slamming them down, damaging and slowing all nearby enemies on landing.

Common mistakes

Using Facebreaker with enemies on one side only: they are only slowed.
Casting Haymaker with no stored Grit.
Forgetting that you can place the ultimate to slam onto the enemy's allies.

Cooldowns, costs and ranges

A combo only comes back once its abilities are off cooldown: these values (rank 1 to max rank, in seconds) tell how long to wait between two combos. Source: Data Dragon 16.19.1.
