Sett vs Mordekaiser

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Sett controls lane pressure and must deny Mordekaiser a calm scaling lane by forcing close-range brawls.
Prioritize melee trades and wave states that enable (E) stuns and grit buildup to outtrade Mordekaiser.

Trading pattern

Start trades with autos and (E) to pull Mordekaiser near minions, then spend grit on centered (W) for max damage.
Punish Mordekaiser immediately after he misses (E) to reduce his pull threat.
Avoid using (W) when Mordekaiser can sidestep the center or before building sufficient grit.

Danger windows

Mordekaiser is dangerous when (E) pull lands, enabling (Q) isolated damage and passive ticks; respect spacing to avoid pull.
Beware of (R) realm isolation after level 6; save defensive cooldowns or disengage tools.
Be cautious when (W) shield is fully charged on Mordekaiser, as it can turn damage into healing in extended trades.

Early game

Use early high agency to force melee trades and build grit before Mordekaiser can safely extend trades.
Keep the wave close to threaten (E) pull and stun angles around minions.
Avoid extended trades where Mordekaiser's passive and (W) shield healing can outlast you.

Power spikes

Level 6: Use (R) to reposition Mordekaiser into unfavorable fights or isolate him for team engagement.
First bruiser item: Use increased durability to force trades and pressure Mordekaiser into short trades.
Respect Mordekaiser's level 6 (R) isolation and extended trade power when his (W) shield is charged.

Win conditions

Win by forcing Mordekaiser into close-range trades where (E) stun and grit-backed (W) maximize damage.
Use (R) after Mordekaiser commits or to isolate him, creating favorable brawls or teamfight engages.
Maintain lane pressure to deny Mordekaiser safe farming and scaling opportunities, leveraging first item spikes to dominate trades.
