How to win lane as Pantheon against Gwen · 51.65% win rate over 666 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | At level 1 your point-and-click W stun plus an auto out-damages her, and she has no Hallowed Mist yet to escape into. |
| Level 2 | Pantheon | Level 2 W+Q is a hard all-in window — Gwen has no mist and no level-2 power spike to answer your stun burst. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | With Q, W and E up you out-trade her, but her Snip Snip! Q autos and innate scaling make it a genuine skill fight on positioning. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | You keep empowered-Q poke and E blocks, yet she stabilizes with her own short trades — neither lands a clean kill window here. |
| Level 6 | Gwen | Hallowed Mist comes online: she goes untargetable inside it and blanks your W-stun gap-close, so the level-6 duel tilts to her. |
| First item | Gwen | Her first item (Riftmaker/Nashor's) starts her power curve while yours flattens — she begins winning extended trades through mist. |
| Two+ items | Gwen | At 2+ items her percent-true Q ignores your shields and untargetable mist resets mean you cannot burst her — she out-scales hard. |
Levels 1-3 are yours and you have to cash them in. At level 1 your point-and-click W stun plus an auto already wins the trade before she has any mist to hide in. Hit level 2 (W+Q) and you can flat all-in her — she has no Hallowed Mist yet, so there's nowhere for her to vanish. Use Aegis Assault to eat her Snip Snip! Q autos and empowered-Q tap her whenever she steps up to last-hit. Just don't dump your whole combo chasing — bait her E dash, then W-stun.
