Who Wins
- You lose early 2v2s due to Pantheon's superior damage and E blocking your combo damage, but gain advantage post-6 when your R-W can set up picks that Aurelion Sol follows with R.
- Look for flanking opportunities rather than direct engages.
Synergy & Trading
- Use W-Q for poke and sustain, then look for R-W engages when enemies are out of position or low on health.
- Coordinate with Aurelion Sol's Q stuns to guarantee your W landing and follow-up damage.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam frequently after shoving waves to match Aurelion Sol's map pressure and set up plays in other lanes.
- Time roams when Aurelion Sol has W available and the bot wave is in a good state.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't engage directly into Pantheon's E as it blocks your combo damage and leaves you vulnerable to retaliation.
- Avoid extended trades in lane as you lack the sustained damage to match their poke potential.
