How to win lane as Pantheon against Aurora · 52.89% win rate over 762 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | My level-1 W is a point-and-click stun and she has no E blink yet — I W in, tapped-Q reset, and win the first trade outright. |
| Level 2 | Pantheon | At level 2 my W+Q all-in spikes hard and she still can't blink away from the stun — force the kill window now. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | With all three basics online I poke with Q and all-in with W any time her blink is down — but a held blink lets her reset, so it is Skill-dependent. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through 4-5 I keep poke and E-block control, yet she stabilizes with reliable blink timings — trades come down to catching her E on cooldown. |
| Level 6 | Aurora | At 6 her ult, W exile and E blink let her kite my W gap-close and poke my squishy frame — the duel slips to her. |
| First item | Aurora | Her first AP item out-pokes my plateauing damage and her double mobility dodges my engage — she owns this window. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | By 2+ items she bursts me before my W lands, but if I snowballed early my accumulated lead can still keep it even — it comes down to who is ahead. |
Levels 1-3 are mine. At level 1 my W stun is point-and-click and she has no E blink yet to dodge it, so I can W in, tapped-Q reset, and chunk her before she ever pokes. Bait her Q out, then hold my E directional block to eat her root and follow-up rather than committing into it. Force the trade every time her blink is down — she has no answer to a level-2 or level-3 all-in before her mobility comes online.
