Orianna vs Sett

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Orianna must control the lane through precise ball placement to zone Sett and avoid his melee all-ins.
Prioritize maintaining medium lane pressure to prevent Sett from freely engaging or scaling through brawls.
This is a control mage scaling versus early brawler matchup; Orianna aims to survive early aggression and enable teamfight impact.

Trading pattern

Trade by zoning with ball position and poke, then shield with (E) to absorb Sett's retaliations.
Punish Sett's missed (E) or sidestepped (W) by stepping forward to trade aggressively.
Avoid reckless trades when (Q) is on cooldown or Sett has grit stacks; use (W) slow to kite and disengage.

Danger windows

Sett is most dangerous when he has high grit stacks and can land a centered (W); keep spacing to avoid this.
Avoid close proximity when (E) is off cooldown to prevent his stun pull.
Post level 6, respect (R) displacement and avoid positioning near walls or minions that enable his slam angles.

Early game

Use (Q) and (W) to poke Sett from a safe distance before he can engage.
Avoid extended trades early as (E) and grit buildup make him dangerous in close range.
Stay behind minions to reduce threat of (E) stun pull and avoid standing near minions to prevent his (E) setup.

Power spikes

Respect Sett's level 6 (R) slam which can reposition you; hold (E) shield for defense and avoid clumping near minions.
Orianna's level 6 (R) enables strong all-in or disengage plays; track its availability for picks or roams.
After first mage item, increase wave pressure and poke to punish Sett before he completes his bruiser item.

Win conditions

Control the lane with ball placement to deny Sett melee trades and force him to farm under pressure.
Use level 6 (R) and first item power spike to create picks or safely roam and impact other lanes.
Survive early aggression by shielding and kiting, then leverage Orianna's superior teamfight presence to win mid to late game.
