Sett vs Aurora

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Sett should control mid lane pressure by forcing close-range trades to deny Aurora's farming comfort and scaling potential.
This matchup is a control vs teamfight scenario where Sett must leverage early brawls and grit trades to prevent Aurora from snowballing.

Trading pattern

Start trades with autos and (E) to pull Aurora near minions for stun, then spend grit on centered (W) for max damage.
Punish after Aurora uses (W) invisibility burst since she loses quick escape temporarily.
Avoid trading when (E) is on cooldown or (W) is sidestepped, as Sett's biggest damage windows close.

Danger windows

Beware of Aurora's level 6 ultimate window which increases her mobility and burst threat; play cautiously and hold key defensive tools.
Sett is vulnerable after missing (E) pull or spending (W) shield; avoid extended trades during these cooldowns.
Be cautious of Aurora's burst combos post-AP item completion; avoid unnecessary trades without grit shield ready.

Early game

Use early levels to force melee trades and build grit, exploiting Aurora's low early agency and dodgable (E).
Keep wave close to Sett's side to threaten (E) stuns on Aurora when she approaches.
Avoid extended chases since Sett's low mobility can be punished by Aurora's burst and repositioning.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to reposition Aurora into unfavorable fights or team engagements, forcing brawls Sett can win.
After first bruiser item, leverage increased durability and (W) true damage to pressure Aurora into short trades.
Respect Aurora's level 6 and first AP item spikes by holding cooldowns and spacing to avoid burst combos.

Win conditions

Win lane by forcing close-range trades with (E) stuns and grit-backed (W) damage to deny Aurora farm and scaling.
Use level 6 (R) to create advantageous fights or force Aurora into side lanes for pressure.
Control mid lane tempo to enable teamfight disruption and brawls where Sett excels.
