Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 to Pantheon's poke and burst trades since you can't gap close effectively and he can W away from your engage attempts.
- Post-6 you win all-ins decisively with R to close distance and W true damage, especially if you've built up grit from his poke.
How to Trade
- Your trading pattern is to absorb his Q poke while farming, then look for Q-auto-E-auto-Q trades when he steps up for CS or uses abilities on minions.
- Save W for when you're low on health to maximize the true damage and shield value in extended fights.
Wave Control
- You want to let Pantheon push into you early so you can farm safely and look for all-in opportunities with jungle help or when he overextends.
- Once you have R, you can start slow pushing to build minion advantages for dives or to deny his roam timings.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't chase Pantheon's poke trades early game or try to force fights when you're healthy, as you need grit buildup to make your W threatening.
- Avoid getting poked down to 30% HP without trading back, as this gives him a free kill window with his W-Q-E combo.
