Sett vs Trundle

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use Sett's strong early melee brawling and grit trades to pressure Trundle and deny his calm scaling lane.
Control the wave to force Trundle into melee range where (E) stun and grit-backed (W) hit hardest.
This is a control lane focused on forcing melee trades and punishing Trundle's extended duels before he can splitpush effectively.

Trading pattern

Start trades with autos and (E) to pull Trundle into your range, then spend grit with centered (W) for maximum damage and shield.
Punish Trundle after he uses (E) pillar or when he is forced out of his (W) healing zone.
Avoid trading when (W) is sidestepped or grit is low, as your biggest damage and shield are lost.

Danger windows

Beware of (R) stat drain during extended fights; avoid prolonged duels when it is up.
Respect (E) pillar placement that can block your escape or set up ganks; keep proper spacing.
Sett is vulnerable after missing (E) as his catch threat drops; back off or reset trades then.

Early game

Aggressively engage melee trades early to build grit and threaten with (W) true damage.
Position near minions to maximize (E) pull stun opportunities on Trundle.
Avoid extended fights outside your grit shield window to prevent losing to Trundle's sustain and stat drain.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) lets Sett reposition Trundle for forced brawls; use it after Trundle commits or to guarantee follow-up.
First bruiser item spike increases Sett's durability and trade reliability; pressure wave to force Trundle into bad trades.
Respect Trundle's level 6 (R) stat drain and (W) healing zone by avoiding long fights inside his domain.

Win conditions

Win lane by forcing melee trades that build grit and land grit-backed (W) true damage.
Use level 6 (R) to disrupt Trundle's positioning and force favorable brawls or teamfights.
Apply side-lane pressure post-level 6 to deny Trundle safe splitpush and capitalize on your lane control.
