How to win lane as Yone against Pantheon · 47.98% win rate over 2,597 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | Point-blank Comet Spear (Q) and Shield Vault (W) let Pantheon win the level-1 poke war outright. |
| Level 2 | Pantheon | His leveled Q and W stun keep out-trading your not-yet-online kit at level 2. |
| Level 3 | Pantheon | Aegis Assault (E) blocks your auto-Q pressure so Pantheon still dictates level 3. |
| Levels 4-5 | Pantheon | Through levels 4-5 his spear poke and stun combo keep you pinned and give up CS. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 the lane evens out as Grand Starfall trades roam pressure both ways. |
| First item | Yone | First item flips it: your crit steel and E dive overpower his fading short cooldowns. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Two items in you fully outscale his squishy poke build with R pick and W shred. |
Pantheon owns levels 1-5 flat out: his Comet Spear (Q) out-ranges your all-in and Shield Vault (W) is a hard stun that leads into a full combo before your Q3 knockup is online. Don't try to trade back into a leveled spear, just soak XP at max range and give up a little CS. His empowered melee Q punishes every step forward, so respect it and farm safe until your steel comes online.
