Gragas vs Sett

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Control the lane with short trades using (E) to interrupt Sett's melee engages and rely on passive healing to outlast his grit trades.
Manage wave and spacing to avoid giving Sett easy melee all-in windows and punish his low mobility with poke and disengage.
This is a control vs brawl matchup where Gragas must deny Sett's melee dominance and use (R) to disrupt his all-ins and teamfight engages.

Trading pattern

Initiate short burst trades by slowing Sett with (Q), activating (W) for damage reduction, then stunning with (E) when he commits.
Punish Sett's melee approach by interrupting his (E) pull attempts and avoid prolonged fights after your cooldowns are spent.
Use (R) to disengage or isolate Sett when he tries to all-in, respecting his threat when grit and (W) shield are active.

Danger windows

Beware when Sett has built grit and his (W) shield is active, as his burst and sustain peak.
Respect (E) stun and pull, especially when he can catch you near minions or walls.
Avoid missing (E) as it removes your primary engage and escape tool, leaving you vulnerable to Sett's follow-up trades.

Early game

Use (Q) to zone Sett and prepare (W) before committing to short trades around level 3 when your full kit is available.
Hold (E) to punish Sett's melee dashes or overextensions, avoiding using it into losing waves.
Avoid extended fights early to preserve passive sustain and wait for Sett to commit before engaging with (E).

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) displacement; use it to isolate Sett or break his engage, and respect his ability to reposition you.
First AP or tank item spike strengthens your burst and durability; trade aggressively around this power spike.
Respect Sett's level 6 (R) slam and his first bruiser item timing, which increase his all-in threat and durability.

Win conditions

Control short trades using your passive and (W) to out-sustain Sett and punish his melee overextensions with (E).
Use (R) strategically to disengage from Sett's all-ins or isolate him for your team to follow up.
Maintain lane pressure and wave control to force Sett into unfavorable melee range, denying his grit buildup and all-in potential.
