Sett vs Ekko

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Sett should control lane pressure to deny Ekko safe scaling and force him into risky trades.
This is a snowball vs scale matchup where Sett's early aggression can shut down Ekko's mid-game power.
Sett must adapt defensively to avoid Ekko's stun setup and ultimate burst windows.

Trading pattern

Start trades with autos and (E) to keep Ekko near minions and land a centered (W) for max damage and shield.
Avoid spending (W) if Ekko can sidestep the center or if grit stacks are low.
After Ekko uses (E) to engage but misses (Q), step forward aggressively to punish cooldown downtime.

Danger windows

Respect (W) stun setup which requires spacing to avoid getting caught.
Be cautious when (R) is available as he can dodge your all-in or reset fights.
Avoid extended trades before your grit and cooldowns are ready to mitigate Ekko's burst and mobility.

Early game

Use early melee trades with autos and (E) to build grit and pressure Ekko before level 6.
Avoid extended trades if Ekko positions to sidestep your (W) center or sets up his (W) stun.
Punish Ekko's missed (Q) or (E) by forcing close trades where your grit-backed (W) dominates.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to reposition Ekko into unfavorable fights or to secure all-ins after he commits.
After first bruiser item, increase wave pressure to force Ekko into risky trades or losing farm.
Respect Ekko's level 3 combo unlock and his (R) availability by spacing to avoid his stun and burst resets.

Win conditions

Win lane by forcing melee brawls using autos, (E), and grit-backed (W) to dominate trades.
Use level 6 (R) to create forced fights or picks and apply side-lane pressure to deny Ekko safe scaling.
Maintain lane control to prevent Ekko from executing his short trades and scaling pattern effectively.
