How to win lane as Pantheon against Master Yi · 45.42% win rate over 262 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | Your poke and passive block shut down his weak early trades — he cannot even start an exchange 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 your Aegis block and stun still beat him — his damage has not caught up to your kit. |
| 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 his Highlander and true damage out-scale your fading burst — hand the 1v1 duty to someone else. |
Own him completely: your poke stings, the passive block eats his counter-trades, and from 2 the stun-spear combo wins every exchange. Zone him off CS, dive with your jungler and stack the lead — a Yi kept poor never gets to play the game, and this whole matchup is yours to front-run.
