Who Wins
- You lose levels 1-3 due to Pantheon's Q poke and E block negating your Q damage while he has superior base stats.
- At level 6, you gain significant advantage as your R provides mobility to dodge his R and sustain to outlast his burst combo.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves using W to become untargetable during his E channel, then following up with Q stacks and E dash to extend trades.
- Wait for his E cooldown before committing to extended trades, as his block negates most of your early damage.
Wave Control
- Focus on freezing the wave near your tower early to avoid his Q poke and force him to overextend for CS.
- After level 6 and first item, you can start slow pushing to build minion advantages for all-ins when your W is available.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never trade when his E is available early game, as it blocks your Q damage and he wins the trade with Q-W-auto combo.
- Avoid using W reactively to his engage - instead, use it proactively to zone him or when you're initiating the trade yourself.
