Sett vs Ziggs

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

This is a control lane where Sett must pressure Ziggs to deny his poke and waveclear dominance.
Sett should leverage his early agency to force close trades and prevent Ziggs from freely poking and scaling.

Trading pattern

Start trades with autos and (E) to lock Ziggs near minions, then spend grit on centered (W) for max damage.
Punish Ziggs when he uses (W) to disengage by committing to all-ins before it returns.
Avoid trading if Ziggs is out of (W) range or can easily sidestep your (W) center.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (W) is available as it can knock you away and reset trades.
Avoid engaging when (R) is up and he has mana to execute long-range burst.
Recognize vulnerability after missing (E) or spending (W) as your engage and shield tools are down.

Early game

Use level 1-3 to force close-range trades with autos and (E) pulls when Ziggs is near minions.
Avoid extended chases after missing (E) to prevent taking poke without grit.
Prioritize wave states where Ziggs must approach, enabling your (E) stun angles.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to displace Ziggs into your team or minion cluster for guaranteed follow-up.
After first bruiser item, increase pressure by forcing Ziggs to choose between losing farm or entering (E) range.
Respect Ziggs's level 6 (R) and his first mage poke item timing by holding cooldowns and spacing to avoid poke bursts.

Win conditions

Win lane by forcing melee trades using (E) pulls and grit-backed (W) damage to out-trade Ziggs.
Use level 6 (R) to force fights or side-lane pressure, denying Ziggs calm scaling.
Control wave to keep Ziggs forced into unfavorable positions, punishing his cooldowns and limiting his poke impact.
