How to win lane as Heimerdinger against Sett · 53.65% win rate over 315 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Heimerdinger | Sett has no dash and must walk into your H-28G beams just to last-hit, while you already have a turret zoning the wave and he has nothing safe to charge Grit on. |
| Level 2 | Heimerdinger | A second turret plus the beam slow walls Sett off the wave — he can't reach you to land his passive punches or comfortably bank his W stored damage. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Even before your grenade is up, his W smash and E pull punish a greedy step, but your turrets answer the commit — it comes down to whether he lands the grab clean. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Three turrets and the CH-3X center-stun beat his all-in, but one clean E-pull into passive punches flips the trade — pure execution on his grab versus your stun. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | UPGRADE!!! super-grenade out-stuns his engage, yet his R suppress locks an immobile yordle through the nest — whoever lands CC first wins the level-6 fight. |
| First item | Heimerdinger | Liandry's plus a full turret reload keeps you out-sieging and out-zoning a Sett who still has to cross the beams to touch you. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | A scaled Sett's W true-damage smash and bulk punch through your buildings and his flank E-pull catches the dashless nest — your front-loaded lead is the only thing keeping it even. |
Sett has no gap-closer, so level 1 is yours — drop H-28G on the front melee creep and let the electron beam tax every last-hit he walks up for. Trade with W micro-rockets instead of standing still, because letting him auto you only banks his Grit (W) and lines up his passive alternating punches. By level 2-3 a second turret walls the wave so he can't farm comfortably, but never throw a CH-3X you can't follow up — a whiffed grenade is your one escape gone.
