How to win lane as Pantheon against Heimerdinger · 48.46% win rate over 324 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | At level 1 your point-and-click W stun plus a Q tap out-damages him before a single turret is placed — fight now. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Genuinely even at 2: you have the W-Q spike but he can drop his first turret and E-grenade to trade back, so it is a coinflip. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | His turrets come fully online — two in the wave zone your melee Q and shred you the instant you commit W. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | He walls you off the minions with turrets and pokes with W rockets you cannot heal through, controlling the whole lane. |
| Level 6 | Heimerdinger | Grand Starfall is built for cross-map roams, not a 1v1 into a turret nest — he holds lane while you should be elsewhere. |
| First item | Heimerdinger | His turret DPS plus W rocket poke out-trades you on every walk-in once he has his first AP item. |
| Two+ items | Pantheon | You fall off, but if you snowballed, empowered Q plus W still bursts a squishy Heimer before his E stun lands — close it here or you lose to his scaling. |
Level 1 is the only window I truly own — point-and-click W to stun and Q to poke before his first turret matters, so I want to fight the literal first chance I get. But the second he has two turrets in the wave it flips: my melee Q can't reach him through the turret zone, and stepping in for W means eating turret beams plus a W rocket. Hold Aegis Assault (E) to block his E grenade — if that stun lands while I'm dashing, I'm dead in the open.
