Favour timeline — the windows in Pantheon's game plan

Read from Pantheon's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Singed.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1PantheonAt level 1 your point-and-click Shield Vault damage is among the best in the game, while Singed has only Poison Trail and a 125-range Fling.
Level 2Even / skillYour level-2 spike (W+Q) chunks him hard before Mega Adhesive and drain-tank sustain come online.
Level 3SingedWith all three basics Q-W-E is a premier kill window — but Fling is a knock-up, so land your stun first and never channel into it.
Levels 4-5Even / skillPoison Trail heals through your poke and Mega Adhesive's grounding starts denying the Shield Vault dash — the lane evens out.
Level 6PantheonYour R is for roams, not catching a Singed who grounds your dash with Mega Adhesive, so it extends map pressure instead.
First itemSingedYou are still ahead on tempo, but Insanity Potion turns Poison Trail into Grievous Wounds — press objectives, not a kill that will not land.
Two+ itemsSingedSinged out-scales hard: drain-tank sustain plus Rylai's, and Mega Adhesive grounds the dash you would escape with — play for team, not the 1v1.

How to beat Singed as Pantheon: the early game

Levels 1-3 are yours — Singed is a non-threat before Poison Trail sustain stacks and his bases are awful. Land the point-and-click Shield Vault and follow with an empowered Comet Spear for a heavy chunk. Know the slots: Fling is his E at 125 range and it is a knock-up, so it cancels Aegis Assault outright — do not be channelling when he steps in. Mega Adhesive is his W, 17s at rank 1 and 1000 range, and it grounds: stand in that puddle and Shield Vault will not fire at all.
