How to win lane as Sett against Nasus · 49.69% win rate over 1,926 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Sett | Sett wins Level 1 because Nasus has zero kill threat and eats free autos when he steps to last-hit. |
| Level 2 | Sett | Sett stays ahead at Level 2 since Nasus still lacks the stats to fight through Pit Grit trades. |
| Level 3 | Sett | Sett dominates Level 3 once E-Facebreaker into the wall opens a free Q-W combo. |
| Levels 4-5 | Sett | Sett keeps the edge at Levels 4-5 as denied Q stacks leave Nasus too weak to trade back. |
| Level 6 | Sett | Sett wins Level 6 because R can cancel any Wither-committed all-in and Nasus has no dash to escape. |
| First item | Sett | Sett is favoured at first item as Haymaker's true damage and Grit outheal a burst-less Nasus. |
| Two+ items | Nasus | Nasus takes over at 2+ items once his stacked Q and full armor duel through Grit and out-scale Sett. |
You control levels 1-2 easily: Nasus has no early kill pressure, so walk up and auto-Q him whenever he steps for a caster minion. Your P Pit Grit lets you shove and still win the poke exchange, and denying even a few Siphoning Strike stacks compounds all game.
