Read from Pantheon's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Master Yi.
This is Pantheon's own plan; across 262 pooled games the lane is leaning Master Yi.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | Comet Spear poke and a front-facing Aegis Assault shut down his weak early trades — he cannot start one profitably. |
| Level 2 | Pantheon | Comet Spear plus the W stun keeps every early trade yours — stun, stab, walk away. |
| Level 3 | Pantheon | Your frontloaded burst dominates the level-3 window — a full combo removes half his health. |
| Levels 4-5 | Pantheon | Through 4-5 Aegis Assault and Shield Vault still beat him, and the stun cancels Meditate outright. |
| Level 6 | Pantheon | Your level-6 burst all-in with the stun stays lethal to a squishy Yi — keep hunting him. |
| First item | Even / skill | His first item stabilizes the duel into a skill-based coin-flip — pick your fights with more care now. |
| Two+ items | Master Yi | Late Highlander resets and Wuju Style's true damage beat your fading burst — hand the 1v1 to someone else. |
Front-run him: Comet Spear stings, Aegis Assault faced at him eats the counter-trade, and from 2 the stun-spear combo wins every exchange. Mortal Will only empowers your next spell — it blocks nothing, so the shield is the cooldown to hold. Zone him off CS and dive with your jungler; the clock is short.
