Pantheon vs Sett

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use Pantheon's early lane bully tools to pressure Sett and deny him a passive farming lane.
Prioritize early empowered trades and wave control to snowball before Sett's durability and brawling power rise.
This is a snowball matchup where Pantheon must leverage early lane pressure and roam potential to avoid Sett's mid-game brawl strength.

Trading pattern

Start trades by stunning with (W) and follow up immediately with empowered (Q) to burst Sett before he stacks grit.
Use (E) to block Sett's strongest retaliation damage, then disengage to avoid extended brawls.
Punish Sett's cooldowns by stepping forward for short trades when (E) is down or after he misses (W) center damage.

Danger windows

Respect Sett's threat when he has grit stacked and can land centered (W) true damage.
Avoid extended trades when (E) is available for Sett's pull and stun, as it can lock you down for his follow-up.
Be cautious when (W) or (E) are up on Sett after level 6, as his all-in potential is highest then.

Early game

Aggressively use empowered (Q) and (W) stun around levels 2-3 to build health leads and force Sett into unfavorable trades.
Avoid using (E) prematurely; save it to block Sett's key counter damage during trades.
Crash waves after winning trades to create roam opportunities with (R) and deny Sett safe farming.

Power spikes

Level 2-3: Use empowered (Q), (W), and (E) to force early trades and build lane control before Sett stabilizes.
Level 6: Crash waves and roam with (R) to impact other lanes and avoid Sett's all-in (R) displacement.
Respect Sett's level 6 (R) and first bruiser item timing by maintaining spacing to avoid forced brawls.

Win conditions

Use early empowered trades and (W) stun to establish lane dominance and deny Sett safe farming.
Crash waves to create pressure and roam with (R) to snowball other lanes before Sett's mid-game power.
Maintain cooldown awareness to punish Sett's missed (E) or (W), preventing him from engaging strong brawls.
