Who Wins
- You lose early levels due to Pantheon's Q poke and E block negating your trade attempts while you build stacks.
- At level 6, you gain kill potential with R engage, especially if you can land it for multiple Determination stacks in skirmishes.
How to Trade
- Focus on short Q trades to build Determination stacks safely, then look for W pull into extended trades when you have stack advantage.
- Use E to gap close or escape, saving longer trades for when you have significant stack lead or max stacks with revive ready.
Wave Control
- Accept early CS deficits and focus on safe farming until you build Determination stacks and core items.
- Look for R roam opportunities to teamfights where you can gain multiple stacks quickly and become a scaling threat.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't trade when you have low Determination stacks, as Pantheon's base damage will outdamage your unstacked kit significantly.
- Avoid getting chunked by repeated Q poke without response, as it prevents you from ever reaching the stack thresholds needed to trade back effectively.
