Aurora vs Sett

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Aurora is a mobile mage assassin with medium lane pressure who must avoid giving Sett easy melee trades and grit stacks.
Focus on controlling mid-lane pressure to prevent Sett from forcing close-range brawls and scaling through grit trades.
This matchup is control versus teamfight; Aurora must leverage mobility and burst to disrupt Sett's engage and avoid prolonged fights.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades with (Q) followed by (E) repositioning, then reactivate (Q) to maximize burst before Sett stacks grit.
Punish Sett after he uses (W) or misses (E), as he loses his strongest defensive and engage tools.
Avoid trading when Sett has high grit stacks or (E) is available to prevent getting stunned or absorbing heavy true damage.

Danger windows

Beware when Sett has built grit and can land a centered (W), as his trades become lethal.
Respect (E) stun threat especially when enemies are near minions or allies, which can lead to follow-up damage.
Avoid extended trades or all-ins when (R) is available to prevent forced repositioning and teamfight disadvantage.

Early game

Use ranged poke and short trades to chip Sett before he can build grit and safely engage.
Avoid extended trades since (E) is easily dodged and Sett thrives in melee range with grit.
Prioritize farming safely while looking for windows to burst Sett before level 6 when his all-in threat spikes.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to enhance mobility and burst for picks or defensive resets; track (R) to avoid forced displacement.
After completing the first AP burst item, increase pressure on Sett with more reliable trades and wave control.
Respect Sett's level 6 (R) and first bruiser item spikes which increase his brawl potential and survivability; maintain spacing to avoid his engage.

Win conditions

Use high mobility and burst to pick Sett off before he can stack grit and force melee trades.
Deny Sett a calm scaling lane by pressuring waves and punishing cooldowns to prevent his bruiser item power spike.
Leverage (R) for flanks and teamfight disruption, focusing on skirmishes and avoiding prolonged brawls where Sett excels.
