How to win lane as Sett against Gnar · 50.27% win rate over 1,880 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Gnar | Gnar's level-1 boomerang and W range poke you freely before you have any way to close the gap. |
| Level 2 | Sett | By level 2 your Grit and E pull start to threaten him once he commits to melee range. |
| Level 3 | Sett | Level 3 E Facebreaker gives you a reliable stun to catch him between hops. |
| Levels 4-5 | Sett | Through 4-5 your sustained W damage and Grit healing beat his Mini-form trades. |
| Level 6 | Sett | Your level-6 R hard-counters both a fleeing Mini and a committing Mega Gnar. |
| First item | Sett | With a first item you out-brawl Mini Gnar and heal through his poke. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late game hinges on his Rage timer, so skilled Mega play brings the matchup back to even. |
Gnar owns level 1 with boomerang poke and W range while you have no gap-closer yet — respect the Q double-hit and just farm, soaking Grit rather than walking into pokes.
