| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | Pantheon's W stun combo wins the level 1 all-in, so it favours him. |
| Level 2 | Pantheon | Level 2 stays his as his early burst out-trades you. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | By level 3 you stabilize and the lane is even. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are a skill trade as spikes come online. |
| Level 6 | Locke | At 6 your spike turns his all-in while he falls off — yours. |
| First item | Locke | First item lets you punish his W-Q cooldown and out-scale him. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Two items in, his damage tapers and it's an even pick matchup. |
Pantheon wins the first two levels — his point-and-click W stun into Comet Spear out-trades you before you have tools, so respect it, give ground, and last-hit safe.
