Lux vs Sett

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Lux controls lane with long-range poke and pick potential, forcing Sett to approach cautiously.
Prioritize maintaining spacing to avoid Sett's melee brawls and grit stacking.
This is a control vs teamfight matchup where Lux must deny Sett's melee trades and leverage poke to win.

Trading pattern

Poke with (E) and punish Sett's oversteps with (Q) root into burst damage.
Sidestep (W) center to minimize his grit payoff and reduce his trade strength.
Avoid extended melee trades where Sett can stack grit and use (E) stun angles.

Danger windows

Respect (E) stun threat when enemies are near minions or allies; avoid clustering.
Be cautious when Sett has high grit stacks and (W) shield available for burst trades.
Avoid engaging or overextending when (R) is ready, as he can reposition you into unfavorable fights.

Early game

Use (E) to poke Sett early and force him to hesitate before engaging.
Avoid reckless (Q) usage as missing it allows Sett to all-in with grit trades.
Maintain distance to prevent Sett from building grit and using (W) effectively.

Power spikes

At level 6, track (R) availability to secure picks or safely disengage from Sett's all-in attempts.
After completing your first mage item, increase wave pressure and trade confidence while respecting Sett's improved durability.
Respect Sett's level 6 (R) displacement and first bruiser item spikes by maintaining spacing and avoiding forced melee trades.

Win conditions

Use verified (Q) picks combined with (E) poke and (R) burst to deny Sett safe melee trades.
Control wave and lane pressure to force Sett into awkward engages or missed farm.
Leverage your range advantage to poke Sett down before he can commit to brawls and roam to influence the map after level 6.
