Sett should use his high early agency and lane pressure to force close-range trades and deny Warwick safe scaling.
This matchup is a control vs snowball lane where Sett aims to dominate early brawls and force Warwick into unfavorable melee fights.
Trading pattern
Start trades with autos and (E) to pull Warwick close, then spend grit on centered (W) before he can sidestep.
Punish Warwick if he uses (E) prematurely or misses (R) by committing to short burst trades.
Avoid chasing Warwick outside (E) range as his medium mobility and healing make prolonged fights risky.
Danger windows
Beware when (E) fear and (R) suppression are available and he is healthy; avoid all-ins during these cooldowns.
After missing (E) or (R), Warwick is vulnerable; use these windows to force trades or pressure the wave.
Be cautious if Warwick uses (Q) healing during trades; avoid prolonged fights where his sustain outlasts your burst.
Early game
Use early waves to position for (E) stuns by baiting Warwick near minions and force him into melee range.
Prioritize building grit through short trades to maximize (W) shield and true damage payoff.
Avoid extended trades where Warwick can heal with (Q) and fear with (E) before you commit fully.
Power spikes
At level 6, use (R) to displace Warwick after he commits, forcing a brawl where you can capitalize on his positioning.
First bruiser item increases your durability and makes your grit-backed (W) trades harder to ignore; pressure Warwick to choose between farming or taking damage.
Respect Warwick's level 3 spike when he has full kit for sustain and fear; avoid extended trades without (W) shield ready.
Win conditions
Win by forcing melee brawls where you can stack grit and land centered (W) true damage.
Use (R) to reposition Warwick into unfavorable fights or team engagements after level 6.
Apply wave pressure to deny Warwick safe farming and force him into trades where you have grit and cooldown advantage.
