| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Brand | Brand's ranged poke shuts down Pantheon's short-range engage from the very first level. |
| Level 2 | Brand | The gap holds at level 2 since Pantheon still can't close distance without eating a full combo. |
| Level 3 | Brand | Brand continues to dominate as Pantheon's all-in remains too risky against his zoning. |
| Levels 4-5 | Brand | Through levels 4-5 Brand's damage and range advantage keep Pantheon starved off CS. |
| Level 6 | Brand | Brand's proactive burst at 6 matches or exceeds Pantheon's global ultimate in direct skirmish value. |
| First item | Brand | Brand's item-fueled burst keeps him ahead of Pantheon's scaling through the mid game. |
| Two+ items | Brand | Brand's damage lead holds into the late game even though Pantheon's global ultimate can still swing side-lane skirmishes. |
Brand dominates the lane from level 1 since his ranged poke completely denies Pantheon's short-range engage options, and Pillar of Flame plus Conflagration out-damages anything Pantheon can land before he's forced into range.
