When Pantheon moves toward an enemy with intent to engage, prepare your follow-up abilities. His W provides a reliable 1-second stun with medium range, creating perfect windows for coordinated damage.
Basic Skirmish Team Fight
Position strategically when Pantheon activates his E shield. He becomes invulnerable to damage from one direction, allowing you to either force enemies to attack through his shield or punish them when they reposition.
Skirmish Team Fight
Begin engaging or position to follow up when Pantheon starts channeling his R. The ability has a super long range and creates a slowing field on impact, making it perfect for catching enemies off-guard.
Skirmish Team Fight
Pantheon's passive empowers his next basic ability when he reaches 5 stacks. The counter under his health bar lights up when full, signaling he's ready for a high-damage trade or all-in.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Look to coordinate tower dives with Pantheon when enemy laners are below 50% health. His stun (W) and directional damage immunity (E) make him exceptionally effective at executing dives starting at level 3.
Lane Phase
Pantheon is strongest in the early game (levels 1-9) and falls off later. Prioritize playing around his lane for ganks and skirmishes during this period to snowball his advantage.
Basic Lane Phase
When laning with or ganking for Pantheon, watch for him to land a charged Q spear before engaging. This poke is especially effective against targets below 20% health where the damage increases significantly.
Lane Phase Skirmish
In the late game, help create distractions so Pantheon can flank and eliminate high-priority targets. He transitions from a frontline champion to more of an assassin looking for picks with his point-and-click stun.
Advanced Late Game Team Fight
To maximize lockdown time on priority targets, delay your CC abilities by about 0.5 seconds after Pantheon's W stun connects rather than using them immediately. His stun lasts for 1 second.
Advanced Skirmish Team Fight
After 25 minutes, Pantheon becomes significantly weaker compared to many other top laners. Play more around your other win conditions while using him primarily for his reliable stun and pick potential.
