Read from Orianna's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Pantheon.
This is Orianna's own plan; across 1,510 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Orianna | You win level 1 out-ranging his slow melee Q before Shield Vault is online. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is even once his point-click W stun enables an all-in combo. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 stays a skill fight around his burst versus your shield and spacing. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 remain even as his all-in threat trades with your poke. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 stays neutral since Grand Starfall adds roam pressure but not solo-kill certainty. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is even as his all-in persists against your stabilizing poke. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | At two-plus items your teamfight Shockwave outscales his falling-off single-target dive. |
Level 1 is yours: before Shield Vault is online at 2 he only has a slow melee Comet Spear, so you out-range him freely with the ball and poke without fear of a stun all-in. Use this window to establish a lead and shove. Track Shield Vault: 13s at rank 1, 9s maxed — a 600-range point-click stun-dash with an auto reset. Step up on its downtime only.
