Who Wins
- You lose early trades to Pantheon's Q poke and burst combo, but your passive shield and Q sustain help you survive.
- Post-6 you dominate through superior teamfight impact with R and your ability to interrupt his W with your W makes 1v1s favorable.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to let Pantheon engage with W, then immediately W him during the stun animation to guarantee the taunt and follow with Q-E combo.
- Use Q on minions for sustain and only trade when your passive shield is available.
Wave Control
- Focus on farming safely early and matching Pantheon's roams with your superior R range after level 6.
- Let him push into you pre-6 since you can farm under tower effectively with Q, then look for opportunities to set up ganks with W.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W defensively against Pantheon's poke as it's your only reliable way to win trades when he commits.
- Holding W for his W engage is crucial since missing this timing means taking his full combo without retaliation.
