Sett vs Talon

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Sett's high lane pressure and early agency to force Talon into defensive play and deny his roam opportunities.
Control the wave to keep Talon visible and punish his weaker waveclear and reliance on terrain for mobility.
This is a control vs roam matchup where Sett must leverage melee brawls and grit trades to prevent Talon's snowball and map pressure.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by engaging with autos and (E) to keep Talon in melee range, then use grit-backed (W) centered on him for max damage.
Punish Talon after he uses (Q) dash or (W) slow return by stepping forward to force trades.
Avoid chasing Talon outside (E) range and respect his (R) stealth burst window to prevent lethal all-ins.

Danger windows

Respect Talon's level 2 all-in pressure with (Q)+(W) and avoid extended trades without grit shield ready.
Beware Talon's level 6 (R) stealth burst for sudden lethal damage; hold key defensive cooldowns and spacing.
Be cautious after missing (E) as Sett loses his main catch and stun threat, increasing vulnerability to Talon's poke and burst.

Early game

Start level 1-3 by forcing close trades using autos and (E) to build grit and threaten stun angles near minions.
Avoid extended trades before (W) grit shield is ready and punish Talon when he uses (Q) dash aggressively.
Maintain wave control to limit Talon's roaming and force him to farm under turret where he is weaker.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to reposition Talon into unfavorable fights or disrupt his positioning for follow-up engages.
After first bruiser item, increase aggression to force Talon into short trades and punish his limited mobility against grit trades.
Respect Talon's level 2 (Q)+(W) combo by avoiding giving him clean spacing and cooldown windows to engage.

Win conditions

Win lane by forcing melee brawls and landing grit-backed (W) damage, then use (R) to create advantageous fights.
Deny Talon's roam attempts by controlling wave and vision, forcing him to farm under turret.
Scale power spikes by completing first bruiser item and applying constant pressure to prevent Talon's snowball and map impact.
