Sett vs Aurelion Sol

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Sett controls the lane by forcing close-range trades to deny Aurelion Sol's passive scaling and roaming potential.
Prioritize lane pressure and aggressive melee brawls to prevent Aurelion Sol from farming safely and scaling into late game.

Trading pattern

Start trades with autos and (E) to keep Aurelion Sol close, then spend grit with centered (W) for max damage.
Punish Aurelion Sol after he misses (Q) or (W) by engaging quickly before he can reposition.
Avoid chasing if (W) is sidestepped or (E) is on cooldown, as Sett's damage and control drop significantly.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) or (W) are on cooldown, as Sett loses much of his trading power and can be poked down.
Avoid extended fights before level 6 where Aurelion Sol can kite and poke effectively.
Watch for enemy jungle presence when committing to all-ins, as Sett has low mobility to escape counterattacks.

Early game

Use early levels to aggressively engage with (Q) and (E) to punish Aurelion Sol's weak early game and limited mobility.
Avoid extended poke trades and instead look for quick all-ins before Aurelion Sol completes key items.
Maintain wave control near your side to threaten (E) stuns and force Aurelion Sol into vulnerable positions.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) is a major spike: use it to reposition Aurelion Sol into melee range for follow-up damage and disrupt his positioning.
First bruiser item spike increases Sett's durability and damage; use wave pressure to force Aurelion Sol into risky trades.
Respect Aurelion Sol's scaling spikes at 75+ stardust stacks and after completing Rylai's by playing safe and prioritizing resets.

Win conditions

Win lane by forcing melee trades using (E) stuns and grit-backed (W) damage to deny Aurelion Sol farm and scaling.
Use level 6 (R) to create advantageous fights or force Aurelion Sol into side lanes where Sett can capitalize.
Apply sustained lane pressure and side-lane presence to prevent Aurelion Sol from freely roaming and scaling into late game.
