Yone vs Sett

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Yone must manage a low early agency lane against Sett's high pressure and look for controlled trades using (E) + (Q) with planned exits.
This is a snowball matchup where Yone needs to avoid giving Sett easy melee brawls and instead use mobility and cooldown windows to scale safely.

Trading pattern

Stack (Q) to set up knockup, then use (E) and second (Q) to gap close, snapping back immediately to avoid (E) pull and (W) burst.
Punish Sett after he misses (E) or spends (W) shield by stepping forward for short trades.
Avoid trading when Sett has high grit stacks ready for his (W) true damage and shield payoff.

Danger windows

Sett is most dangerous when he has high grit stacks and (W) shield available; avoid extended trades then.
Respect (E) pull stun threat, especially when positioned near minions or allies.
After Sett hits level 6, be cautious of his (R) displacement which can force you into unfavorable fights or crowd control combos.

Early game

Avoid extended melee range trades early and use (E) + (Q) combo only when (E) pull is on cooldown.
Use minion positioning to prevent Sett from landing (E) stun angles and force him to miss grit stacks.
Play around Sett's early aggression by keeping spacing and only committing to trades after level 3 when (E) + (Q) + (W) shield combo is available.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks Yone's full (Q)-(W)-(E) trade pattern; use this to force trades with planned exits.
After first attack-speed item, pressure waves and trades more confidently while respecting Sett's first bruiser item power spike.
Respect Sett's level 6 (R) slam displacement; avoid clustering near minions and be ready to disengage or counter-engage with your own (R).

Win conditions

Use (E) + (Q) combo to force trades and disengage before Sett can retaliate with (E) or (W).
Deny Sett melee brawls by maintaining spacing and punishing cooldowns to prevent him from building grit.
Reach your power spikes and use side-lane pressure and (R) engage to snowball and control teamfights, avoiding Sett's all-in windows.
