Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range and poke potential, but must respect Pantheon's level 2 all-in with W-Q combo.
- Post-6 you maintain advantage with R burst potential, but his R gives him map pressure and roam priority you cannot match.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves Q poke from max range, then immediately backing off to avoid his W engage range.
- When he uses W on minions or misses it, you can step forward for Q-W-E combo before retreating to safety.
Wave Control
- Push early waves with Q to establish range advantage and prevent his roams, but avoid overextending past river without vision.
- Maintain minion advantage to make his W engages less effective and keep the wave in positions where you can poke safely.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight him in melee range or when your E is on cooldown, as you have no escape from his W-Q-E combo.
- Avoid face-checking bushes or roaming without deep wards, as his R flanks can catch you in unwarded areas.
