Read from Hwei's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Pantheon.
This is Hwei's own plan; across 2,281 pooled games the lane is Hwei-favoured.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Your E-Q combo and fear shut down his all-in attempts, winning trades at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | He still lacks the follow-up to punish your poke through level 2, keeping you ahead. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | By level 3 your ranged combo continues to out-trade his spear poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Shield Vault falls to 10s and Aegis Assault to 19s through 4-5, making this an even mechanical skill check. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | His global ultimate turns level 6 into a map-wide skill check rather than a clear lane swing either way. |
| First item | Even / skill | Your poke and fear disruption retake the advantage once he returns from an ultimate roam. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Your item burst spike punishes his cooldowns before his own scaling catches up. |
Comet Spear gives him poke out to 575, but his all-in needs Shield Vault to close the last 600, and your EE fear shuts that down if you land it first. You win trades through levels 1-3 as long as you don't stand still and eat spears for free. Levels 4-5 stay competitive as Shield Vault falls to 10s and Aegis Assault to 19s, so respect his all-in windows rather than trading passively.
