Diana vs Sett

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Diana must leverage her burst and mobility to pressure Sett and avoid prolonged melee trades where he gains grit stacks.
This is a snowball matchup where Diana aims to deny Sett's melee brawls by punishing his low mobility and predictable engages.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing (Q) and immediately use (E) to reset and maximize burst before Sett can retaliate.
Punish (E) cooldown windows by stepping forward to trade aggressively.
Sidestep to avoid (W) center and disengage quickly before grit stacks empower his retaliation.

Danger windows

Respect Sett's grit-backed (W) shield and true damage after he builds stacks in melee trades.
Avoid standing near minions to prevent (E) pull and stun setups.
Be cautious when (R) is available, as he can reposition you into unfavorable fights.

Early game

Use level 3 power spike to land (Q)+(E)+(W) burst combos and force Sett out of melee range.
Avoid extended trades if (E) is on cooldown to prevent Sett from capitalizing on your lack of mobility.
Keep wave control to prevent Sett from positioning for (E) stuns near minions.

Power spikes

At level 3, use the unlocked (Q)+(W)+(E) combo to threaten all-ins when cooldowns and minion positioning favor you.
At level 6, track (R) availability to execute reliable all-ins or roams; avoid forcing fights without it.
After completing first AP skirmish item, increase wave pressure and trade confidence while respecting Sett's bruiser item timing.

Win conditions

Win lane by landing your full burst combo with (Q)+(E)+(W) to deny Sett melee trades and snowball lead.
Use level 6 (R) for picks or defensive resets rather than forcing blind engages.
Pressure waves and punish Sett's low mobility and cooldown windows to control lane and enable roams or teamfight impact.
