Heimerdinger vs Sett

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use turret zones to control the lane and punish Sett's melee approach.
Maintain lane pressure to deny Sett safe trades and avoid letting him build grit freely.
This is a control vs brawler matchup where Heimerdinger must leverage zone control to prevent Sett's close-range dominance.

Trading pattern

Let turrets define trades; use (E) to lock Sett in turret range and follow up with (W) or upgraded spells.
Punish Sett after he uses (E) or misses his (W) center by stepping forward with turret damage.
Avoid fighting away from turrets or when (E) is down, as Sett's brawl potential is stronger then.

Danger windows

Respect (E) pull and stun threat when near minions or turret zones.
Avoid extended trades when Sett has grit stacks and (W) shield available.
Be cautious around Sett's level 6 (R) slam which can reposition you into danger.

Early game

Establish turrets before Sett can engage to force him to fight in your zone.
Hold (E) to stun Sett when he tries to pull or close distance, preventing his grit buildup.
Avoid pushing too far without vision to prevent ganks due to low mobility.

Power spikes

Level 3: Full turret, (W), and (E) available; hold (E) to punish Sett's engage attempts.
Level 6: Use (R) upgrade to adapt for burst, control, or survivability depending on fight needs.
First AP item: Turret and spell damage increase; keep turrets alive to maximize zone pressure.

Win conditions

Build and maintain turret zones to force Sett into unfavorable trades and farm under pressure.
Use (E) stun and upgraded abilities to deny Sett's all-in attempts and punish his cooldowns.
Control wave and objectives with turret setups to capitalize on Sett's low mobility and lack of ranged poke.
