Gwen vs Sett

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Gwen should focus on scaling through extended trades and avoid early burst trades before her items.
Maintain medium lane pressure to deny Sett easy melee brawls and prevent him from stacking grit freely.
This is a scale vs early control matchup where Gwen must survive early aggression and reach key AP spikes.

Trading pattern

Prepare stacked (Q), then use (E) to engage and (W) to block Sett's counter damage for extended trades.
Punish Sett when he wastes (W) shield or misses (E) pull by stepping forward for longer trades.
Avoid committing when (Q) is unstacked or (W) is down to reduce vulnerability to Sett's burst and crowd control.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Sett has grit stacks and his (W) shield ready for burst trades.
Respect (E) pull stun threat especially near minions or clustered waves.
Avoid fighting without (W) active as Sett's true damage and crowd control can punish you heavily then.

Early game

Use early waves to safely stack (Q) and avoid committing before (Q) is stacked.
Avoid short burst trades with Sett before (W) is available to block his retaliation.
Use (E) to control spacing and dodge (E) pull attempts around minions.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) after setting up with stacked (Q) to slow and chase Sett for potential kills.
Respect Sett's level 6 (R) slam that can reposition you; keep spacing to avoid forced brawls.
Hit two-item AP spikes to pressure side lanes and force fights where (W) can deny Sett's outside damage.

Win conditions

Reach key AP item spikes and use (W) to negate Sett's burst and (R) to extend fights.
Force extended skirmishes where stacked (Q) and healing outvalue Sett's short trades.
Use side-lane pressure and teamfights where (W) protects you from Sett's engage and damage.
