How to win lane as Pantheon against Qiyana · 50.22% win rate (1,137 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
An assassin duel where your shield votes — W the opener, block the burst window entirely, and out-stat the survivor.
Track: Qiyana's E — Audacity (11–7s cooldown). Her stick dash — once spent she cannot reach you; kite the cooldown.
Read from Pantheon's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Qiyana.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Your level-1 point-and-click W stun and Q poke bully a squishy melee assassin who has no waveclear or trade tools yet. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Your level-2 W-Q all-in with Mortal Will stacking is far stronger than Qiyana's empty early kit. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | At 3 you out-trade her easily since she still lacks an element combo and you can block her Q with Aegis Assault. |
| Levels 4-5 | Pantheon | Through 4-5 you keep priority and out-sustain her poke while denying her the farm she needs to spike. |
| Level 6 | Qiyana | At 6 Qiyana's Supreme Display of Talent shockwaves off terrain for a stun, giving her the all-in from 6 to 9. |
| First item | Qiyana | With an element plus her first item her combo out-bursts you from fog before your stacks matter. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | By two items your Aegis Assault block and Shield Vault stun neutralize her burst and leave her with no escape. |
You crush levels 1-3: your W-Q level-2 all-in is point-and-click while Qiyana is a squishy melee assassin with no element setup and no waveclear, so every time she steps up to farm you stun and stack Mortal Will for the kill. Hold Aegis Assault for her empowered Q auto and freeze just short of your tower to deny her the elements she needs to trade back.

Start Doran's Blade + Health Potion and back for Serrated Dirk (≈1100g) — the spear math sharpens. Build Eclipse first, then Serylda's / Sterak's path, with Plated Steelcaps / Lucidity.
