Learn how to Pantheon counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Attack from behind or the sides when Pantheon uses his E (Aegis Assault) — his invulnerability only blocks damage from the direction he's facing, making him completely vulnerable from other angles.
Basic Lane Phase Team Fight
Position behind minions when he charges his Q (Comet Spear) — his charged spear deals 50% reduced damage beyond the first target hit, significantly decreasing his poke damage.
Basic Lane Phase
Watch for the glowing indicator under Pantheon's health bar showing 5 stacks of his passive — this means his next basic ability will be empowered. Back off until he uses it, then engage when his power decreases.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Engage when his E (Aegis Assault) is on cooldown — with an 18-22 second cooldown, this is his primary defensive tool and he becomes significantly more vulnerable without it.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Bait out his W (Shield Vault) before committing to an all-in — once his only reliable stun is on cooldown (9-13 seconds), he has limited ways to stick to targets or escape.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Place deep vision in his jungle after level 6 — his ultimate allows him to gank lanes from long distances, but proper wards will spot him during the 2-second channel before he leaps.
Lane Phase
Take short trades instead of extended fights in early game — Pantheon excels in longer exchanges where he can stack his passive and use empowered abilities, so quick hit-and-run trades deny his full combo potential.
Lane Phase
When Pantheon uses his ultimate, you'll see vision appear around the target location after 0.5 seconds into his channel, giving you time to reposition before he lands.
Basic Lane Phase Team Fight
Force fights when Pantheon is split pushing on the opposite side of the map — even with his ultimate, it takes him time to channel and arrive, giving you a temporary numbers advantage.
Advanced Late Game Team Fight
Ward your flanks during team fights when Pantheon has no ultimate — he often looks to attack from the side to reach your backline carries, and proper vision denies this approach.
