Tryndamere vs Sett

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

This is a splitpush vs brawler matchup where Tryndamere must manage Fury buildup and avoid Sett's close-range all-ins.
Tryndamere should pressure moderately to deny Sett easy melee trades and scale into late game side-lane duels.

Trading pattern

Trade only when Fury is high and (E) pull is on cooldown to avoid being stunned.
Use (E) to chase or disengage only if Sett has no grit stacks or (W) shield available.
Avoid trading when Sett's grit shield is up or when he can center (W) for true damage.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Sett has high grit stacks and (W) shield ready, as his trades peak then.
Avoid engaging when (E) is off cooldown and he can stun by pulling from both sides.
Do not all-in without (R) active or when (E) is spent, as Sett's crowd control and burst can punish you.

Early game

Focus on stacking Fury safely before engaging to maximize trade potential.
Avoid extended fights before level 6 when Sett's stun and true damage are most threatening.
Use wave control to keep distance and prevent Sett from easily landing (E) stuns.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to survive Sett's all-in and force extended fights or tower pressure.
After two core items, leverage increased crit damage and mobility to outduel Sett in side-lane skirmishes.
Respect Sett's level 6 (R) slam as it can displace and set up lethal trades; keep spacing to avoid it.

Win conditions

Build Fury and force extended side-lane fights using (R) to survive Sett's burst and crowd control.
Exploit Sett's low mobility by chasing with (E) after he wastes (E) or (W) cooldowns.
Push side lanes aggressively post two-item spike to pressure towers and force Sett to respond, enabling your team to gain map control.
