Sett vs Poppy

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Sett should use his high early lane pressure to force close-range trades and deny Poppy a calm scaling lane.
Control the wave to keep Poppy away from walls and minimize her (E) stun threat.
Focus on melee brawls and grit trades to leverage Sett's juggernaut strength against Poppy's tank durability.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades with autos and (E) to keep Poppy close, then spend grit on centered (W) for max damage.
Punish Poppy if she wastes (W) early by committing to longer trades.
Avoid trading when Poppy is near walls to reduce risk of her (E) stun and (R) displacement.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Poppy holds (W) to block (E) dash attempts.
Avoid fighting near walls where Poppy can stun with (E) and follow up with (R).
After missing (E), Sett's threat drops; use this window to reset or reposition.

Early game

Start aggressive trades early to build grit and pressure Poppy before she gains tank items.
Use wave positioning to bait Poppy away from walls, reducing her (E) stun opportunities.
Avoid extended fights near terrain where Poppy can capitalize on her wall stun and (W) anti-dash.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to reposition Poppy after she commits, forcing favorable brawls.
After first bruiser item, increase wave pressure to force Poppy into risky trades or minion loss.
Respect Poppy's level 6 (R) knockaway; bait it before committing to all-ins.

Win conditions

Win lane by forcing melee trades with autos, (E), and grit-backed (W) to out-damage Poppy.
Use level 6 (R) to create advantageous fights or isolate Poppy from safety.
Maintain wave control to keep Poppy away from walls and limit her engage tools, enabling Sett to dominate trades.
