Sett vs Yasuo

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Sett controls the lane by forcing melee brawls and punishing Yasuo's reliance on minion waves for mobility.
Prioritize pressuring Yasuo early to deny his scaling and avoid letting him freely use (E) for dashes and (Q) stacks.
This is a control vs snowball matchup where Sett must leverage his early agency and grit trades to prevent Yasuo from snowballing.

Trading pattern

Start trades with autos and (E) to pull Yasuo into melee range, then use grit-backed (W) for shield and true damage.
Punish Yasuo when he is forced to stand near minions for (E) dashes by landing (E) stun and centered (W).
Avoid wasting (W) when Yasuo can easily sidestep; bait out his (W) to increase your trade effectiveness.

Danger windows

Respect (R) follow-up on airborne targets; avoid clustering near minions or allies that enable your (E) stun for his knockup.
Be cautious when your (E) is on cooldown, as your catch threat drops and Yasuo can exploit your reduced engage.
Yasuo is dangerous when his (W) is available to block your projectiles; time trades when it is down or bait it out first.

Early game

Use early melee trades to build grit and threaten Yasuo when he is near minions, limiting his (E) mobility.
Keep the wave close to Sett to enable (E) stun angles and force Yasuo into unfavorable trades.
Avoid extended poke before you can force melee range trades with grit-backed (W).

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to displace Yasuo and force a brawl or teamfight engage when he commits.
After your first bruiser item, increase wave pressure to force Yasuo into short trades and capitalize on his inability to dodge (W) reliably.
Respect Yasuo's level 2 combo of (Q) plus (E) mobility; avoid giving him clean spacing to use it effectively.

Win conditions

Win lane by forcing close-range trades using (E) to lock Yasuo down and spending grit with centered (W).
Use level 6 (R) to create favorable all-ins or disrupt Yasuo's positioning in teamfights.
Control wave states to deny Yasuo minion access for (E) mobility, limiting his ability to kite and snowball.
