Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 to Pantheon's superior poke and burst damage, especially his point-and-click Q harassment.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure through R engage potential and your superior sustained damage in extended fights with Q stacks and lifesteal.
How to Trade
- Your trading pattern involves using Q1-Q2 on minions to stack, then Q3-W-AA-E back to safety when he steps up.
- Only commit to all-ins post-6 with R when he wastes W or E, as you need the gap close to stick to him.
Wave Control
- Focus on farming safely and giving up CS pre-6 to avoid his Q-W-E burst trades.
- Post-6 you can start slow pushing to build minion advantages for your R all-ins, as you need the extra damage and minion block.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to trade autos early game as his passive empowered autos and Q poke will chunk you out.
- Never E aggressively pre-6 without your R available, as you'll be stuck in melee range where he excels with his full combo.
