Sett vs Anivia

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Sett controls early lane pressure and must force Anivia into uncomfortable trades to deny her scaling mid.
This is a snowball vs scale matchup; Sett should leverage early aggression to prevent Anivia from farming safely and zoning with (R).

Trading pattern

Start trades by engaging with autos and (E) to pull Anivia near minions, then use grit-backed (W) for max damage.
Punish Anivia immediately after she misses (Q) stun, as her main pick tool is down.
Avoid using (W) when Anivia can sidestep; bait her movement before committing grit damage.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) stun combined with (R) slow; avoid engaging when these are available and not on cooldown.
Be cautious when (W) shield is down, as Sett is more vulnerable to poke before committing to trades.
Avoid overextending without vision, as Anivia's lack of mobility makes her vulnerable but also sets up potential ganks if river control is lost.

Early game

Use early levels to force melee trades with autos and (E) to build grit and threaten (W) damage.
Avoid extended chases after missing (E) to prevent losing momentum to Anivia's poke.
Keep wave close to Sett's side to enable (E) stun angles and punish Anivia's low mobility.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to displace Anivia and force favorable brawls or roams.
After first bruiser item, increase wave pressure to force Anivia into risky trades or losing farm.
Respect Anivia's first mana/AP item spike, which improves her waveclear and trade reliability; avoid extended fights then.

Win conditions

Win early trades by landing (E) stuns near minions and following up with grit-powered (W) damage to snowball lane control.
Use (R) after Anivia commits to force all-ins or roams, denying her safe scaling.
Maintain lane pressure post-level 6 and item spikes to prevent Anivia from safely farming and zoning with (R).
