How to play Set, and Build Recommendations?

[Celdredge]

I love Set aesthetically. He’s stylish, brutal, and sometimes very precise. However, I have no idea how I’m supposed to play him!

I usually stay behind and try to poke with his spawns, but that gets me almost nowhere. If I try to wear down someone, I simply get stunned and then bursted.

Is there a correct way to use his abilities that someone has discovered? Or perhaps a build that makes him better?

I have been running Ninja Tabi, Odysseus Bow, Wind Demon, Deathbringer, Executioner, and Asi. This maxes out his attack speed, his greatest strength, adds in some criticals at a decent rate, and then a bit of lifesteal for good measure. Is there a better build for him as well?

I hope to gleam some strategies to play him better, as I do wish to main him.

There is nothing more to do than summon his spawns and hit an enemy. it deals very high dmg, and if you can kill someone, then use them, and right after you hit them teleport at him and kill enemy. Im doing very well with him, my build looks like this and it works. attackers blessing,warrior tabi,jotun,katana,soul eater works very well with him,stone cutting sword and crusher or antiheal (brawlers)

Might be worth trying a burst build, with a little attack speed. The summons do a ton of damage like that.
I'd probably keep Asi, maybe Ninja Tabi, but change the rest to more bursty items.

Attack speed and crit items rely on you sticking to the target, which he can do well, but it also puts you at more risk. He doesn't have any CC immunity (that I can remember), so he gets locked down easily with an attack-speed-reliant build.

Thanks for the feedback guys! What kind of burst items do you recommend? I’m a little new to theorycrafting builds.
