How to win lane as Ornn against Pantheon · 53.88% win rate over 1,470 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | Pantheon's point-click W stun into empowered Q spear bursts you before you have a shield or combo — give up CS at stun range. |
| Level 2 | Pantheon | He still owns the short trade — his passive blocks your autos and his Q out-pokes your manaless level-2 kit. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Your W (Bellows Breath) is now up: unstoppable through his stun, shielded, and the percent-HP exhale lets you trade back evenly. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ornn | Your E-into-Q-pillar knock-up punishes his step-ups, and Brittle amplifies the follow-up burst his passive can't block. |
| Level 6 | Ornn | R's double knock-up wins the all-in outright — Pantheon has no dash to escape your charging elemental. |
| First item | Ornn | Your Heartsteel/Sunfire spike makes you a durable W-poke bully exactly as his spear damage drops off. |
| Two+ items | Ornn | You're a near-unkillable teamfight anchor with free Masterwork upgrades while Pantheon hard-falls-off into the late game. |
Levels 1-2 belong to Pantheon — his W is a point-click stun he chains into an empowered Q spear, and his passive blocks your autos, so you have no shield and no combo to fight back. Don't contest CS inside his stun range; eat a little poke and farm with the tip of your Q. The moment you hit 3 and get W (Bellows Breath), the lane changes: it's unstoppable, so his stun can't interrupt it, and the shield plus percent-HP exhale let you trade back through Brittle.
