Sion vs Sett

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Prioritize stable wave control and health scaling to outlast Sett's early brawling pressure.
Manage lane pressure carefully to avoid giving Sett easy melee trades and grit stacks.
This is a control vs teamfight matchup where Sion must survive early aggression and become a front-line engage threat.

Trading pattern

Use (E) to slow Sett before committing to charged (Q) knockups from concealed angles.
Avoid trading when (W) shield is down to reduce damage taken from Sett's true damage (W).
Punish Sett's missed (E) pulls by stepping forward to land poke or force wave control.

Danger windows

Respect Sett's threat when he has high grit stacks enabling his (W) true damage and shield.
Avoid standing near minions or allies to prevent (E) stun pull from both sides.
Be cautious when (R) is available to avoid unfavorable displacement and forced melee fights.

Early game

Avoid extended melee trades early to prevent Sett from building grit and landing empowered (W).
Use (E) slow to set up charged (Q) from fog or brush angles for safer poke.
Stack (W) shield health by farming safely and minimizing damage from Sett's early aggression.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) with clear paths to force fights or return to lane with pressure; respect Sett's ability to sidestep or break engage angles.
After first tank item and health scaling, absorb space and threaten charged (Q) zones to become a durable front line.
Respect Sett's level 6 (R) displacement and first bruiser item spikes by maintaining spacing and avoiding forced brawls.

Win conditions

Deny Sett easy melee trades to prevent grit buildup and reduce his all-in threat.
Use wave control and fog to land charged (Q) knockups and initiate fights with (R) when team follow-up is ready.
Scale into a tanky front line with stacked (W) health and force teamfights where Sion's engage and disruption excel.
