Who Wins
- You lose early trades pre-6 due to Pantheon's Q poke and E block negating your Q damage, but you scale better into mid-game teamfights.
- Post-6 you can win all-ins if you land R properly and manage heat well, as Pantheon lacks sustained damage.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to use Q when Pantheon's E is down, then W away from his W stun combo while maintaining heat in the danger zone.
- Never trade when he has E available as it blocks your primary damage source.
Wave Control
- Push waves early with Q to force Pantheon to use mana for waveclear, then look to freeze near your tower once you have items.
- You want to avoid long trades in minion waves where his E gives him a massive advantage.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't overheat during trades as it leaves you vulnerable to his full combo, and never fight in his minion wave where his E becomes even more oppressive.
- Avoid using Q when his E is available as you'll waste mana and heat for no damage.
