How to win lane as Heimerdinger against Pantheon · 52.34% win rate over 214 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | Pantheon's point-click Aegis stun (W) plus Comet Spear (Q) poke beats my single turret before I have the grenade — concede the level-1 contact. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | By level 2 I have a second turret and the beam slow, but his passive blocks turret basic-shots and his spear still pokes — it is genuinely even here. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | A third Q charge plus the slowing electron beams lets me wall off CS; if he W-jumps in, my E center-stun locks him for the kill. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | A full nest plus the CH-3X center-stun makes any W-jump all-in suicidal — this is my strongest stretch of the lane. |
| Level 6 | Heimerdinger | His R, Grand Starfall, is a global roam tool not a frontal dive, and my UPGRADE!!! super-turret still punishes anyone who all-ins my zone — I keep the lane. |
| First item | Heimerdinger | My first-item nest spike owns the architecture war; he can't break a three-turret bank with Comet Spear poke alone. |
| Two+ items | Pantheon | Lethality plus his passive auto-block let him burst through my low HP, and Grand Starfall flanks the dashless yordle from a side lane. |
Pantheon's level 1 is the scariest part of this lane for me: his point-click Aegis stun (W) plus Comet Spear (Q) poke can chunk me before I have a second turret or the CH-3X grenade to answer, so I concede the level-1 contact window and last-hit from max range with my W rockets. Don't try to contest him with one turret — his passive even blocks my turret's basic shots while it's active. By level 3 I have two-to-three Q charges and the slowing electron beams, so the lane starts tilting back to me; bait his W jump, and if he commits onto me my E grenade's center-stun is the punish.
