Warwick vs Sett

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Warwick should pressure Sett early by forcing extended melee fights where his sustain and fear can outlast Sett's grit trades.
Prioritize denying Sett safe melee trades and avoid letting him build grit stacks freely, as Warwick's early agency and snowball potential are higher.
This is a snowball matchup where Warwick must use early dueling strength to prevent Sett from controlling the lane and forcing brawls.

Trading pattern

Engage in melee range trades, holding (E) to fear Sett's burst and using (Q) to sustain through grit damage.
Punish Sett after he misses (E) pull or wastes (W) shield by stepping forward for extended trades.
Use (R) to suppress Sett when he is low or overextended, ensuring follow-up to lock down kills.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Sett has built grit and his (W) shield is available, as his trades hit harder and can burst Warwick down.
Avoid fighting Sett when his (E) pull stun is off cooldown and he can reposition you with (R) slam.
After missing (R), Warwick loses pick threat; avoid extended trades until (R) is back up to maintain pressure.

Early game

Use level 1-3 to take extended trades with (Q) healing and hold (E) to absorb Sett's burst damage and fear him when he commits.
Track Sett's positioning to avoid standing near minions where he can land (E) stun and set up (W) damage.
Use (W) to chase low-health Sett, punishing his limited mobility and kiteability before level 6.

Power spikes

At level 3, Warwick gains full kit to sustain and fear Sett, enabling stronger extended trades; use (E) to absorb damage and (Q) to heal.
At level 6, (R) unlocks long-range suppression; bait Sett's movement to land (R) and force picks or all-ins.
Respect Sett's level 6 (R) slam and grit-backed (W) true damage; avoid clustering near minions to reduce his stun and damage potential.

Win conditions

Win by forcing extended melee fights where Warwick's sustain and fear outlast Sett's grit trades.
Use (W) to track and chase low-health Sett, punishing his low mobility and kiteability.
Lock down Sett with (R) suppression after baiting movement or cooldowns to secure kills and snowball lane control.
