Favour timeline — the windows in Pantheon's game plan

Read from Pantheon's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yasuo.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1PantheonLevel 1 favours you: your base damage beats his weak pre-crit autos and your W stun breaks his early tempo.
Level 2PantheonLevel 2 favours you: your second ability lets you all-in while his damage is still minimal.
Level 3PantheonLevel 3 favours you: full combo plus a Wind-Wall-piercing stun punishes him before Flow shields build up.
Levels 4-5PantheonLevels 4-5 favour you: you can all-in every time his E dash and Flow are down.
Level 6PantheonLevel 6 favours you: Grand Starfall is an unblockable leap and he can't self-generate a knock-up for his R in lane.
First itemYasuoFirst item favours Yasuo: his crit spike plus Flow and Shieldbow lifeline can flip an all-in you'd otherwise win.
Two+ itemsPantheonTwo-plus items favour you: your unblockable all-in and W-stun ganks delete his squishy frame and your CC denies his R.

How to beat Yasuo as Pantheon: the early game

Levels 1-2 favour you: your base damage and W stun beat his weak pre-crit autos, and the stun passes through Wind Wall to break his rhythm. Trade whenever his E is down and shove so he can't dash freely on the wave. Track Yasuo Wind Wall: 25s at rank 1, 17s max — it eats your spear for 4s, but your W dash-stun is targeted and passes it. Step up in its downtime.
