How to win lane as Qiyana against Pantheon · 49.6% win rate over 871 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Qiyana | Even in the weak early window, Qiyana can farm safely with W attunement and only commit trades when Royal Privilege and a wall guarantee the exchange, denying Pantheon his all-in. |
| Level 2 | Qiyana | As spells come online at levels 3-5, her wall-element root plus poke out-ranges Pantheon's short-range commitment, so she controls when fights happen. |
| Level 3 | Qiyana | At level 6 her AoE stun-burst ultimate can delete Pantheon before his Aegis shield or grit sustain matter, a spike he has no answer to. |
| Levels 4-5 | Qiyana | Her first assassin item completes the Royal Privilege plus wall combo into a full one-shot, out-scaling Pantheon's item-independent early kit. |
| Level 6 | Qiyana | In the mid game her attunement mobility makes her roams faster and safer than Pantheon's slow telegraphed ganks, letting her snowball side lanes. |
| First item | Qiyana | With two items her lethality lets her ignore Pantheon's point-click W stun and kill him before his cooldowns come back online. |
| Two+ items | Qiyana | On full build Qiyana's flanking wall-bounce ult and burst dominate teamfights while Pantheon's damage falls off, making her favored at every closing stage. |
Respect Pantheon at levels 1-3: his point-click W stun and Shield Vault can win short all-ins if you walk up carelessly, so farm with W attunement and only trade when you have Royal Privilege and a wall behind him. Avoid extended fights while his passive is blocking your autos, and never dash in without your E available to escape his stun. Once you hit level 3 with two spells maxed, your poke and disengage already outrange his commitment.
