How to win lane as Pantheon against Qiyana · 49.62% win rate over 266 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | 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 | Pantheon | Your level-2 W-Q all-in with Mortal Will stacking is far stronger than Qiyana's empty early kit. |
| Level 3 | Pantheon | 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 Edge of Ixtal shockwaves off terrain for a stun-execute, giving her the all-in in the 6-9 window. |
| First item | Qiyana | With an element plus her first item her combo out-bursts you from fog before your stacks matter. |
| Two+ items | Pantheon | 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.
