How to win lane as Sett against Olaf · 52.58% win rate (1,398 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Grit-tank his axe spam, true-damage W out-trades his early DPS, and the pull-stun sets up your all-in.
Track: Olaf's R — Ragnarok (100–80s cooldown). CC-immune — your E-stun won’t hold him. Bait it.
Read from Sett's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Olaf.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Olaf | Olaf wins Level 1 with Q slow and Berserker Rage attack speed dominating point-blank autos. |
| Level 2 | Olaf | Olaf stays ahead at Level 2 as his rage-scaling DPS out-trades Sett before E is online. |
| Level 3 | Sett | Sett takes over at Level 3 once E-Facebreaker pins Olaf for a Q-Haymaker. |
| Levels 4-5 | Sett | Sett keeps the edge at Levels 4-5 as Grit sustain outlasts his axe-refresh trades. |
| Level 6 | Olaf | Olaf reclaims Level 6 — Ragnarok ignores your stun for as long as he keeps swinging. |
| First item | Sett | Sett re-takes first item as Haymaker true damage and Grit out-brawl his normalized rage. |
| Two+ items | Sett | Sett holds the 2+ item lead since he out-sustains Olaf's single-target DPS and out-utilities him with R. |
Olaf owns the first two levels: his Q Undertow slow plus Berserker Rage attack speed lets him win point-blank auto trades, and picking his axe back up refreshes it. Don't stand in the axe, farm at range of his slow, and avoid committing to a brawl before your E comes online.

Sett, slightly — a 52.58% win rate edge over 1,398 games; execution can flip it.
Mostly — Sett has a small statistical edge (52.58% win rate), but execution decides this lane far more than the pick does.
Not a hard counter — Sett has a slight edge (52.58% win rate), and play quality decides the rest.
Sett takes Conqueror on the Precision tree with Triumph, Legend: Alacrity and Last Stand, and Resolve secondary (Bone Plating and Unflinching) vs Olaf.
Start Doran's Blade + Health Potion and back for Executioner's Calling (≈800g) — his healing out-paces your grit trades. Build Stridebreaker (stick to them through the W panel window) first, then Sterak's Gage, with Plated Steelcaps.
