How to win lane as Pantheon against Yasuo · 56.65% win rate over 2,150 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | You are a premier level-1 with point-and-click W stun damage while Yasuo has no flow shield yet — punish his first last-hit step. |
| Level 2 | Pantheon | Your level-2 W+Q all-in spikes hard and a squishy pre-crit Yasuo cannot match the burst. |
| Level 3 | Pantheon | With W-Q-E online you stun in, empowered-Q burst, and E-block his autos — a premier kill window before he stabilizes. |
| Levels 4-5 | Pantheon | Empowered-Q poke and E blocks keep you favored; his flow shield can't yet eat a full combo. |
| Level 6 | Pantheon | Grand Starfall gives a moderate bump and cross-map roam pressure rather than a wider 1v1 — press your tempo, don't coinflip. |
| First item | Pantheon | Your lethality item spike still bursts a one-item Yasuo before his crit math comes online — force the all-in now. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | Two crit items, Windwall on your aimed Q, and his R knockup let a hard-scaling Yasuo reclaim the duel — you fall off and he takes over. |
Levels 1-3 are your whole lane — you are one of the strongest level-1s in the game and Yasuo is a weak, squishy early laner with no flow shield built yet. The second he walks up to last-hit, W-stun onto him, tap Q for the empowered burst, and E-block his return autos; he cannot out-trade your point-and-click damage this early. Watch his W Windwall — don't throw a long-aimed Q into an obvious Windwall window; tap Q in melee or bait the wall first, then commit. His E-dash needs a minion or you to dash to, so fight him off his wave to remove the escape.
