How to win lane as Sett against Ryze · 57.37% win rate over 1,417 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Sett | Ryze is immobile and ramps slowly, so your level 1 combo out-trades his weak early Overload (Q) poke. |
| Level 2 | Sett | Level 2 your E-W pattern keeps chunking his frail body before his burst comes online. |
| Level 3 | Sett | At 3 E Facebreaker pulls him out of position and W punishes his lack of escape. |
| Levels 4-5 | Sett | Levels 4-5 you dominate a dashless mage who can only self-root to peel you. |
| Level 6 | Sett | R The Show Stopper at 6 is a clean flip on a squishy Ryze with no way to escape it. |
| First item | Sett | First item makes your W true damage lethal to Ryze's frail health before his rotation answers. |
| Two+ items | Ryze | Late, a fully itemized Ryze out-scales you — his Q-E-W burst deletes you before you connect. |
Sett stomps the early lane: Ryze is immobile and slow to ramp, so your Q autos and E-W combo chunk him every time he steps up to last-hit or poke with Overload (Q).
