Zilean vs Sett

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use (Q) bombs to zone Sett and control wave space, avoiding melee range.
Exploit Sett's low mobility by kiting and slowing with (E) to prevent his engage.
Hold (R) to counter Sett's burst or all-in attempts, forcing him to hesitate.

Trading pattern

Set double bombs on Sett when slowed by (E) to maximize stun and damage.
Use (E) speed boosts to kite and reposition after poking, avoiding (Q) and (E) engage.
Punish Sett after he wastes (E) pull or misses (W) center by stepping forward for poke.

Danger windows

Respect (E) stun when positioned near minions or walls.
Avoid trades when Sett's grit is high and (W) shield is available.
Beware of Sett's level 6 (R) slam that can reposition you for follow-up damage.

Early game

Hit level 2 quickly to unlock (Q)+(E) poke and speed control against Sett's melee trades.
Avoid extended fights near minions to reduce (E) stun setup.
Use early poke to force Sett off the wave before he builds grit for (W).

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your double bomb plus speed combo, enabling safer poke windows.
Level 3 grants (W) for double bomb setups, increasing trade threat.
Level 6 (R) forces Sett to play cautiously, denying his all-in potential.

Win conditions

Use wave control and (Q) bomb zones to deny Sett melee access and grit buildup.
Coordinate with your ADC to speed them into safe trades and disengage from Sett's engage.
Save (R) to negate Sett's burst or teamfight disruption, turning fights in your favor.

Tip: For Zilean vs Sett, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
