Hwei vs Sett

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Hwei must control lane space with long-range poke and use (E) CC to prevent Sett from engaging melee trades.
Prioritize denying Sett's melee brawl by maintaining distance and wave control to avoid giving him passive scaling or easy grit stacks.

Trading pattern

Trade by controlling space with long-range spells and hold (E) CC defensively to interrupt Sett's engage.
Punish Sett after he misses (E) pull or wastes (W) shield by stepping forward with poke.
Avoid prolonged melee trades where Sett can build grit and land a centered (W).

Danger windows

Respect (E) pull and stun threat when near minions or clustered with allies.
Avoid trading when Sett has high grit stacks ready to empower his (W) true damage and shield.
Be cautious around Sett's level 6 (R) slam that can reposition and force melee brawls.

Early game

Use (Q) and (E) to poke Sett early and keep him from safely approaching the wave.
Avoid committing to trades without the correct (E) spell choice to prevent Sett's fast all-ins from punishing you.
Use level 3 to unlock full spellbook options for better poke and defensive tools against Sett's engage attempts.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) for all-in picks or defensive resets, respecting (R) displacement threat.
After first mage item, increase wave pressure and poke to force Sett into unfavorable trades.
Respect Sett's level 6 (R) and first bruiser item spikes by maintaining spacing and avoiding melee range.

Win conditions

Use long-range poke and (E) CC to deny Sett melee trades and build lane control.
Capitalize on Sett's missed (E) or (W) to punish with poke and wave pressure.
Execute level 6 all-ins with (R) when Sett's key defensive cooldowns are down or after disengaging his (R) threat.
