Sett vs Yasuo

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Sett controls the lane by forcing close-range trades and denying Yasuo easy mobility and wave control.
Prioritize high lane pressure to prevent Yasuo from safely stacking (Q) and using (E) for mobility.
This is a control vs snowball matchup where Sett must use brawling strength to limit Yasuo's roaming and scaling.

Trading pattern

Start trades by engaging with autos and (E) to pull Yasuo near minions for potential stun and grit buildup.
Spend grit on centered (W) to maximize shield and true damage when Yasuo is forced to stand close.
Punish (W) cooldown windows by committing to trades when his projectile block is down.

Danger windows

Yasuo's knockup (Q) second cast plus (R) combo creates lethal all-in threat; respect spacing and avoid standing near minions without cooldowns.
Sett is vulnerable after missing (E) pull or spending (W) grit shield; avoid extended exposure to Yasuo's poke during these times.
Track (W) cooldown to avoid trades when his projectile block is available, reducing your damage potential.

Early game

Use early levels to force melee trades with autos and (E) to build grit and pressure Yasuo before he hits level 2 combo.
Keep Yasuo away from minion waves to reduce his (E) mobility and punish his inability to dash freely.
Avoid extended trades without grit shield ready, as Yasuo's poke and mobility can outpace Sett early.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to reposition Yasuo into your team or minion cluster, forcing fights on your terms.
First bruiser item spike lets Sett survive Yasuo's burst and sustain longer brawls; increase wave pressure to force Yasuo into risky trades.
Respect Yasuo's level 2 spike when he gains (Q) and (E) combo mobility; avoid overextending before this point.

Win conditions

Win lane by forcing Yasuo into close-range brawls using autos, (E) stuns, and grit-backed (W) damage.
Use level 6 (R) to create favorable fights or force Yasuo into side lanes where you can apply pressure and deny roams.
Control wave and lane state to prevent Yasuo from freely dashing and stacking (Q), limiting his mobility and all-in windows.
