Sett vs Renekton

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Sett should leverage his high early agency and lane pressure to force close-range trades and deny Renekton calm scaling in mid lane.
Focus on controlling the lane through melee brawls and grit trades to outlast Renekton's early burst and sustain attempts.

Trading pattern

Start trades with autos and (E) to lock Renekton near minions, then spend grit on centered (W) before he can dash away.
Punish Renekton after he uses both (E) casts forward by engaging immediately before his escape is available.
Respect Renekton's empowered (W) stun window by avoiding trades when his fury is high and (W) is ready.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Renekton has high fury and empowered (W) available, as his burst and stun threat peak.
Avoid extended trades when Renekton retains both (E) casts to dash in and out safely.
After missing (E) or spending (W), Sett is vulnerable to poke and should disengage to avoid lethal trades.

Early game

Use levels 1-3 to force melee autos and (E) pulls to build grit and punish Renekton when he lacks fury for empowered trades.
Avoid extended trades when Renekton has high fury and both (E) casts available to prevent his burst combo.
Maintain wave control to keep Renekton near minions for (E) stun angles and to prevent his safe short trades.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to reposition Renekton for a forced brawl or teamfight engage when he is already committed.
After first bruiser item, increase wave pressure to force Renekton into risky trades where grit-backed (W) is more effective.
Respect Renekton's level 3 spike when he has full combo and fury, avoiding trades without cooldown advantage.

Win conditions

Win lane by forcing melee brawls using (E) pulls and grit-backed (W) to outtrade Renekton's burst.
Use level 6 (R) to create favorable all-in scenarios or disrupt Renekton's positioning for follow-up.
Apply wave pressure post-bruiser item to deny Renekton safe farming and force him into unfavorable trades or roams.
