Ziggs vs Sett

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use long-range poke and waveclear to keep Sett at bay and prevent him from engaging melee trades.
Control the lane by pressuring Sett under turret and denying him safe approach angles with (E) zones.
This is a control matchup where Ziggs must maintain distance and leverage siege pressure to win.

Trading pattern

Poke with (Q) from max range and use (E) to zone Sett away from minions to prevent his (E) stun setup.
Save (W) for disengage if Sett attempts to close distance or to execute low turret plates safely.
Punish Sett when he misses (E) or wastes (W) by stepping forward with poke and wave pressure.

Danger windows

Sett is most dangerous when he has grit stacks and can land centered (W) true damage; avoid close-range trades during these windows.
Respect (E) pull and stun threat, especially when Sett positions near minions or allies.
Be cautious after using (W) as it leaves you vulnerable to Sett's engage without your main disengage tool.

Early game

Focus on clearing waves quickly with (Q) and (E) to deny Sett opportunities to engage or build grit.
Avoid extended trades early unless (W) is available to disengage from Sett's close-range threat.
Use level 1-5 to establish poke dominance while respecting (E) pull threat.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) grants cross-map burst and objective control; use it for picks or defensive resets rather than blind aggression.
First completed mage poke item reduces (W) cooldown, enabling more confident trades and turret pressure.
Respect Sett's level 6 (R) all-in and his first bruiser item power spike by maintaining spacing and wave control.

Win conditions

Use consistent long-range poke and waveclear to deny Sett safe melee trades and force him under turret.
Convert lane pressure into turret plate damage and objective setups using (W) execute and (R) for zone control.
Maintain spacing to avoid (E) and (W) combos, and punish Sett's cooldowns to keep him off-balance and unable to all-in.
