Pantheon Guide
Patch 26.19 Iron-Emerald·Difficulty:
Pantheon is a bruiser who plays for kills early. W is a point and click stun, Q hits hard on a short cooldown, and R lets you farm your own camps and still appear on any lane in seconds. You win fights over two or three Q casts rather than one combo, so build like a bruiser: Sundered Sky, then Black Cleaver, then the items that keep you alive in the fight you started.

Quick Tips
All phases
- •Swap Legend: Alacrity for Legend: Haste when the enemy is mobile and you will not get autos off.
- •Conqueror is the keystone from Emerald up; in Gold, Electrocute has been adding more wins than it.

Early Game
Before 1st item
- •Start Scorchclaw Pup, take Q, W, E, then Q at 4 and 5.
- •Clear top to bot.
- •Your first clear should have you level 4 by 3:12, and by 3:28 once you are Master.
- •Full clear first, then gank a lane that is pushed past the middle with a target who has no Flash or dash.
- •Empowered E ends in a big burst of move speed; use it on the walk into lane to get inside W range.
- •Coup de Grace is why ganks on already hurt laners finish, so commit when the laner has already lost health.
- •Weave autos between spells; every auto builds toward your next empowered spell.
- •Base the moment Caulfield's Warhammer is affordable.

Core Build Examples
Default
Snowballing
vs heavy AP
Mid Game
1-3 items
- •R lets you farm your own camps and still cover any lane on the map; it is the strongest thing Pantheon has.
- •R is on a long cooldown, so every cast spends that whole window: aim it at a pushed target with no dash or Flash.
- •Spread R to a different lane instead of dropping it on the lane you have already won.
- •Open fights with empowered W: it stacks Conqueror almost instantly and builds your passive back up.
- •You win fights over two or three Q casts, not one combo, so stay in range and keep casting.
- •W on a target with no escape sets up whatever your laner has; ping the gank before you land.

- •Against high health targets, spend the empowered spell on W early in the fight; once Conqueror is stacked or the target is low, spend it on Q or E.
- •Hold E for the enemy spell that would end the fight rather than slamming it the moment you arrive.
- •Guardian Angel is what lets you jump in with R without fear; once it is up, you are the engage.
