Sett vs Diana

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Sett controls lane pressure by forcing close-range trades to prevent Diana's clean burst combos.
Prioritize denying Diana safe access to melee range where Sett's grit and (W) true damage excel.
This is a control vs snowball matchup where Sett must leverage early agency to limit Diana's mid-game all-in threat.

Trading pattern

Start trades by using autos and (E) to pull Diana near minions for stun opportunities.
Spend grit on centered (W) only when Diana cannot sidestep to maximize shield and true damage.
Punish Diana heavily after she misses (Q) or uses (E) without reset cooldown.

Danger windows

Beware (Q) + (E) burst combo especially around level 3 when she gains full trade potential.
Respect Diana's level 6 (R) all-in threat; avoid extended trades or overcommit without (R) ready.
Be cautious when (E) is on cooldown as Diana loses pressure, but also when (E) is down to avoid being kited.

Early game

Use early melee trades with autos and (E) to build grit and punish Diana before level 3.
Avoid extended trades when (Q) is up to prevent her burst combo.
Maintain wave states that force Diana to approach, enabling (E) stuns and grit buildup.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to displace Diana and force melee brawls, capitalizing on her commitment.
After first bruiser item, increase aggression to force Diana into unfavorable trades.
Respect Diana's level 3 burst combo and her level 6 (R) by spacing cautiously and saving key defensive tools.

Win conditions

Win lane by forcing close-range trades leveraging (E) stuns and grit-backed (W) damage.
Use level 6 (R) to create pick or brawl opportunities, disrupting Diana's positioning.
Control wave and pressure side lanes post-level 6 to deny Diana safe roams and scale advantage.
