Trundle vs Sett

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use your medium lane pressure and extended melee dueling strength to force Sett into long trades inside your (W) zone.
Manage the lane to avoid giving Sett easy melee brawls where he can build grit and land his (W) true damage.
Focus on splitpushing and anti-tank stat steal to outscale Sett's early brawling and teamfight disruption.

Trading pattern

Start trades by using (Q) to steal attack damage and weaken Sett's damage output.
Force extended trades inside (W) to leverage your healing and stat steal, avoiding short trades where (W) shield and true damage peak.
Use (E) to trap Sett or block his movement, especially after he misses his (E) pull, to punish his reduced control.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Sett has high grit and his (W) shield active, as his trades peak during this window.
Respect (E) pull and stun threat, especially when positioned near minions or allies.
Avoid extended fights when (R) is available, as he can displace and suppress you into dangerous positions.

Early game

Play for medium early agency by engaging trades inside your (W) to maximize healing and attack speed.
Avoid fighting Sett near minions to reduce his (E) stun threat and grit buildup for (W).
Use (E) to cut off Sett's escape or chase paths, but only when you can follow up or disengage effectively.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) on Sett to drain his health and resistances, making him easier to duel; avoid fighting him when his (R) is up and ready.
Your first dueling item enhances extended side-lane fights and tower pressure; force trades inside (W) to capitalize on this.
Respect Sett's level 6 (R) slam as it can reposition you into unfavorable fights; maintain spacing to avoid his initiation angles.

Win conditions

Win extended melee duels by trading inside (W), using (Q) to weaken Sett, and (E) to control his movement.
Use (R) to steal health and resistances from Sett during fights, reducing his tankiness and damage.
Push side lanes to pressure towers and force Sett into unfavorable fights or split his team to your advantage.
