Renekton vs Sett

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Renekton should leverage his early lane pressure and high agency to deny Sett a comfortable melee brawl and scaling opportunity.
Focus on snowballing through short, fury-powered trades to prevent Sett from building grit and forcing extended fights.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades with (E) dash in, use empowered (W) stun burst, then (Q) for sustain and exit safely with second (E) cast.
Punish Sett when his (E) pull is on cooldown or if he misses the stun by committing to short trades.
Avoid trading without high fury or when second (E) is unavailable to prevent Sett from counter-engaging with grit-enhanced damage.

Danger windows

Beware when Sett has built up grit and his (W) shield is active; avoid extended trades during this window.
After Sett lands (E) pull and stun, Renekton is vulnerable to follow-up damage; disengage if low on fury or cooldowns.
Post-level 6, (R) can displace and suppress; do not overcommit without (R) available or health advantage.

Early game

Use level 1-3 to aggressively stack fury and execute quick (E)+(W) trades before Sett can effectively respond.
Avoid prolonged trades that allow Sett to accumulate grit and trigger his shield and true damage.
Maintain wave control to force Sett into awkward positions where his (E) pull and (W) center are less effective.

Power spikes

Level 3 is critical: Renekton gains full combo tools (Q, (W), E) for explosive trades; use this to pressure Sett aggressively.
Level 6 spike: Use (R) to add durability and damage, converting short trades into all-ins when Sett is low.
Respect Sett's level 6 (R) slam, which can reposition you into danger; keep spacing to avoid forced brawls.

Win conditions

Snowball early by controlling the wave and forcing Sett into unfavorable short trades with high fury empowered combos.
Use (R) to turn fights when Sett is chipped or positioned poorly, enabling dives or skirmishes.
Deny Sett the chance to build grit by avoiding prolonged melee engagements and resetting trades quickly with (E).
