| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | Pantheon's Q poke, W stun and Aegis block win the level-1 trade outright. |
| Level 2 | Pantheon | At level 2 his Shield Vault stun combo keeps him firmly ahead. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 his all-in burst and E block still beat your health-cost kit. |
| Levels 4-5 | Pantheon | Through level 4 his early damage out-trades you before your HP scales. |
| Level 6 | Dr. Mundo | At level 6 Pantheon still owns the trade — his point-and-click W stun into Q spam and Grand Starfall threat burst you down before Maximum Dosage heal can turn the extended fight. |
| First item | Dr. Mundo | Your level-6 R heal out-sustains his burst and he can't solo-kill you anymore. |
| Two+ items | Dr. Mundo | Late, Pantheon can't dent your HP while your W-E-Q runs him down — clearly yours. |
Pantheon owns levels 1-4: Comet Spear (Q) poke, a point-and-click Shield Vault (W) stun, and Aegis Assault (E), which blocks damage from the front — not from behind. He wins every early trade; do not fund it.
