Sett vs Sion

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Sett should use his early lane pressure to deny Sion a calm scaling lane and force close-range brawls.
Control the wave and force Sion into melee trades where Sett's grit and (W) true damage excel.
This is a control vs teamfight matchup where Sett aims to disrupt Sion's scaling and engage potential.

Trading pattern

Start trades with autos and (E) to pull Sion near minions for a guaranteed stun, then spend grit on centered (W) for max damage.
Punish Sion after he uses (Q) charge or when his (W) shield is down to maximize damage.
Avoid chasing if Sion sidesteps (W) center; reposition and reset trades to maintain grit buildup.

Danger windows

Beware of Sion's charged (Q) knockup from fog or brush; maintain spacing to sidestep and avoid crowd control.
Respect (R) engage when he has a clear path; avoid clustering near walls or minions that enable (E) stuns.
Sett is vulnerable after missing (E) or spending (W); avoid overcommitting during these cooldowns.

Early game

Use levels 1-3 to aggressively trade with autos and (E) to build grit and punish Sion's low early agency.
Avoid extended trades if Sion has (W) shield up; wait for it to drop before committing.
Keep the wave close to threaten (E) stuns and force Sion into unfavorable melee range.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to reposition and force Sion into melee brawls or isolate him for follow-up damage.
First bruiser item spike increases Sett's durability and trading power; use wave pressure to force Sion into short trades.
Respect Sion's level 6 (R) engage and his health scaling from (W); avoid extended fights when these are active.

Win conditions

Win lane by forcing melee trades where Sett can build grit and land centered (W) true damage.
Use level 6 (R) to disrupt Sion's positioning and force favorable brawls or teamfight engages.
Deny Sion a safe scaling lane by controlling wave state and punishing cooldowns to prevent him from becoming a durable front line.
