How to win lane as Pantheon against Xerath · 46.63% win rate over 326 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | Level 1 favours you: Xerath is fully immobile with a thin mana pool, so you can walk him down if he steps to poke. |
| Level 2 | Pantheon | Level 2 favours you: your W stun and base damage punish any approach he makes into your range. |
| Level 3 | Pantheon | Level 3 favours you: once you close, full combo kills him while his only peel is a single Shocking Orb. |
| Levels 4-5 | Pantheon | Levels 4-5 favour you: you can bait his E and all-in repeatedly since he has zero dashes to escape. |
| Level 6 | Pantheon | Level 6 favours you: Grand Starfall leaps the exact gap his artillery kit depends on, and his R offers no self-peel. |
| First item | Pantheon | First item favours you: your Eclipse/Trinity combo one-shots him on contact and your gap-close trivializes his poke. |
| Two+ items | Pantheon | Two-plus items favour you: even late he's a stationary artillery mage with no reset, so fights on top of him fold him. |
Levels 1-2 favour you despite his range: Xerath is completely immobile, his early mana pool is thin, and if he steps up to poke you can walk him down with autos and W. Path through minions to eat minimal Q damage and set up a wave you can all-in on at 3.
