Sett vs Lissandra

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Sett should pressure Lissandra early to deny her safe scaling and force short trades where grit stacks up.
Control the lane by forcing melee brawls and punishing her when she tries to engage with (E) or commit into (W) range.
This is a control vs teamfight matchup where Sett aims to disrupt Lissandra's lockdown and force brawls on his terms.

Trading pattern

Start trades with autos and (E) to pull Lissandra close, then spend grit on centered (W) for max damage and shield.
Punish after Lissandra uses (E) forward by engaging aggressively before she can reposition or cast (R).
Avoid wasting (W) when she can sidestep the center; instead, bait her root (W) and then counterattack with your grit trades.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (W) root and (R) stun are up, as she can punish melee commits heavily.
Avoid engaging when (E) is off cooldown and she has jungle support for follow-up lockdown.
After missing (E) or spending (W), Sett is vulnerable to poke; use these windows to reset or reposition.

Early game

Use early levels 1-3 to force close-range autos and (E) pulls to build grit and threaten (W) true damage.
Avoid extended poke trades before (W) is ready and punish Lissandra if she mispositions near minions for your (E) stun.
Maintain lane pressure to prevent Lissandra from comfortably farming and setting up her (E) engage angles.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to displace Lissandra and force her into unfavorable fights or follow-up engages.
First bruiser item spike increases your durability and trade power; use wave pressure to force Lissandra into risky trades.
Respect Lissandra's level 6 (R) lockdown window by holding key defensive cooldowns and avoid committing without backup.

Win conditions

Win by forcing melee trades that build grit and landing grit-backed (W) true damage to dominate short brawls.
Use (R) after Lissandra commits or to isolate her from allies, creating advantageous fights.
Deny her safe scaling by maintaining lane pressure and punishing her cooldowns to snowball mid-game control.
