Fizz vs Sett

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use Fizz's high early agency and mobility to pressure Sett and avoid prolonged melee trades.
Prioritize short trades and avoid giving Sett the chance to stack grit or force close-range brawls.
This is a snowball matchup where Fizz must leverage early burst and roam potential to deny Sett scaling.

Trading pattern

Dash in with (Q) for burst, use (E) to dodge (E) pull or (W) true damage, then disengage before grit stacks become threatening.
Punish Sett's missed (E) pulls by stepping forward for short trades.
Avoid standing near minions to reduce (E) stun angles and grit buildup.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Sett has grit stacks and (W) shield active, as his trades become much stronger.
Avoid trading when (E) pull is available to prevent getting stunned and locked down.
Exercise extra caution before level 3 when Fizz's combo is incomplete and Sett's early aggression can punish mistakes.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before level 3 to prevent Sett from punishing Fizz's weaker early dueling.
Use (Q) and (W) combined with (E) to engage and disengage quickly once level 3 is reached.
Maintain wave control to create opportunities for roams after level 6 power spike.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks Fizz's full trade combo; use (Q), (W), and (E) to engage safely and punish Sett's cooldowns.
Level 6 (R) creates kill pressure and roam threat; use it for picks or defensive resets rather than forced engages.
Respect Sett's level 6 (R) displacement and first bruiser item power spike by maintaining spacing and avoiding forced melee brawls.

Win conditions

Use verified cooldown windows and wave states to execute short burst trades and all-ins with (Q), (W), (E), and (R).
Deny Sett the opportunity to build grit by avoiding prolonged melee range and sidestepping his (W) center.
Leverage level 6 ultimate and roaming to snowball leads and prevent Sett from scaling into reliable brawls.
