Sett vs Annie

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Sett should use his high early lane pressure to force Annie into uncomfortable melee trades and deny her calm scaling.
Control the lane by leveraging melee brawls and grit trades to prevent Annie from safely farming and setting up picks.
This matchup is a control vs teamfight scenario where Sett aims to disrupt Annie's pick potential and force fights on his terms.

Trading pattern

Start trades by closing distance with autos and (E) to pull Annie near minions for a stun, then spend grit with centered (W) for max damage.
Punish Annie's attempts to proc her passive by engaging immediately after she uses (Q) and (W) to avoid her burst.
Avoid wasting (W) when Annie can easily sidestep the center; wait for committed melee range trades to maximize payoff.

Danger windows

Respect Annie's passive stun on 4th spell stack and (R) as high burst and pick tools that can punish overextensions.
Avoid trading immediately after missing (E), as Sett loses his main crowd control and damage window.
Be cautious when (R) is available; avoid clustering near minions to reduce (E) stun angles and prevent easy picks.

Early game

Use early levels to aggressively engage with autos and (E) to build grit and threaten Annie's limited range.
Avoid extended chases after missing (E) to not lose pressure and cooldown advantage.
Punish Annie when she is forced to push with (W) and becomes vulnerable to all-ins due to mana constraints.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to displace Annie and force melee brawls or teamfights, capitalizing on her vulnerability to forced engagements.
After first bruiser item, increase wave pressure to force Annie into short trades where she must sidestep (W), reducing her poke effectiveness.
Respect Annie's level 6 (R) window by holding key defensive tools and only committing to all-ins when her ultimate is down.

Win conditions

Win lane by forcing melee trades that build grit and land centered (W) damage, denying Annie safe farming.
Use level 6 (R) to create picks or disrupt Annie's positioning, then apply side-lane pressure to extend lead.
Exploit Annie's weak waveclear and mana limits by pressuring waves to force her into vulnerable all-in windows.
