When you get berserker greaves, try to hard trade on the duration of your e. When jax is 60-70% health you can look for an all-in.

Favored
33548%-243+728Play safe until you reach berserker's greaves. You don't have the damage to kill him without it so avoid trading and farm up. Post six, you want to use your q movement speed to avoid his q1 and take trades with your e duration. Use your w on his q2 or q3 and get out. Use your passive to heal back up and do it until he is 60-70% health. From there you can all-in if you flash a q2 or q3.

Not Favored
29145%-264+95Don't fight him Level 1, just stay in XP range and don't eat poke. Use your W to block Sett's E stun, spin once you're stunned, and Q him to walk out with phase rush. Only trade when you have phase rush up so you can dodge Sett's W. You only win short trades and you hard lose extended trades. In teamfights, hold your Q to prevent Sett from using W when he's low.

27646%+7+558Use your e when she trades into you, and use your w when she stuns or you are taking the most damage and need the damage reduction. Play to trade on your beserker's greaves spike and take trades on your e duration from there.
