Who Wins
- You lose levels 1-3 to Pantheon's Q poke and empowered W burst, lacking early sustain and mobility to contest.
- At level 6, you become the stronger duelist with R providing massive healing, damage amplification, and revive insurance.
How to Trade
- Your trading pattern involves using Q1 to farm safely, then looking for Q1-W-Q2 combos when Pantheon wastes abilities on minions.
- Save E to escape his W engage or to reposition for better Q angles during extended fights.
Wave Control
- Accept CS deficits early and focus on safe farming with Q until you have sustain items and levels.
- Once you hit 6 and complete your first item, you can start controlling waves and looking for extended trades.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never chase Pantheon into unwarded areas where he can R away, and avoid fighting him when you're low on health pre-6.
- Don't waste your E defensively against his Q poke, as you need it to escape his W-AA-Q all-in combo.
