| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Taliyah | You outrange Pantheon at level 1 with Threaded Volley and Worked Ground poke. |
| Level 2 | Taliyah | Level 2 Q-plus-W lets you chunk him before his point-blank Comet Spear threatens. |
| Level 3 | Taliyah | At 3 your Q-E combo poke outranges his entire engage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Taliyah | Through 4-5 Lost Chapter lets you zone him off the wave with ranged Q pressure. |
| Level 6 | Taliyah | Your level 6 Weaver's Wall answers his roam ult and controls the map better than his Grand Starfall. |
| First item | Taliyah | First item scaling favors your ranged burst while Pantheon's early spike fades. |
| Two+ items | Taliyah | With 2+ items your E-detonation one-shots the falling-off Pantheon. |
Pantheon's early is his empowered Q (Comet Spear) and W stun, but you simply hold Worked Ground and Q him from outside his engage range; never walk into his point-blank empowered Q. Keep last-hitting with Q when he steps up and he takes chip every wave.
