How to win lane as Aurora against Sett · 47.73% win rate over 132 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Aurora | Your Q (Twofold Hex) poke and pull out-chip him at level 1 before his W has any grit stored, and he has no E pull yet to punish your spacing. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | His E pull and your Q-recast both come online — it's a spacing duel where one missed leap or one landed pull decides the trade, so it's genuinely even. |
| Level 3 | Sett | Sett's E (Facebreaker) pull-stun into his grit-charged true-damage W punishes any Q you throw in range, and your W can't dodge a pull you didn't see coming. |
| Levels 4-5 | Sett | His passive double-punch and grit-charged W out-trade your poke in sustained exchanges your spirit healing can't out-sustain. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Your R (Between Worlds) untargetability blanks his R suppress-slam, letting you dodge his all-in and reclaim this window against his level-6 spike. |
| First item | Sett | Sett's bruiser first-item spike plus his grit W beats your prolonged poke trade — his sustain eats your chip before your burst finishes him. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | It's a coin-flip skirmish: his pull-plus-smash can delete you, but your R-untargetable W-reset pick can delete him first if you catch his E off-cooldown. |
Level 1 is yours: your Q (Twofold Hex) missile chips Sett before his W has any grit stored, and his only answer is to walk at you — last-hit at Q range and pull the curse back for the second hit. Once he has E (Facebreaker) at level 2-3 the lane flips. Never throw a Q from inside pull range; if his E lands and you have no W charged, the true-damage center of his grit-charged W punches through any trade you thought you won. Poke, then E (The Weirding) hop back the instant he steps up, and keep your W (Across the Veil) leap held purely as a pull-dodge — not as engage.
