How to win lane as Pantheon against Yone · 54.84% win rate over 2,170 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | Your level-1 W is point-and-click stun damage; his W spirit-cleave is near-worthless unstacked, so you win the first trade outright. |
| Level 2 | Pantheon | At level 2 your W+Q all-in spikes hard while his second Q-dash barely empowers — punish before he stabilizes. |
| Level 3 | Pantheon | With all three basics you W-stun, E-block his Q damage, and empowered-Q to win a kill window his cleave can not answer yet. |
| Levels 4-5 | Pantheon | You control 4-5 with empowered-Q poke and E eating his cleave swings; his sustain is too low to trade back. |
| Level 6 | Pantheon | Grand Starfall extends your pressure across the map at 6 — he has no way to match a long-range roam leap. |
| First item | Pantheon | Your Eclipse / Serrated Dirk spike still bursts him before his crit and cleave items come online — force the all-in now. |
| Two+ items | Yone | By two items his crit, on-hit cleave, R-knockup and E-rewind out-scale and out-slip you — concede the duel and close the game on your earlier lead. |
Yone is even-ish at level 1 but you are not — your point-and-click W stun plus a tapped Q thrust is one of the hardest level-1/2 trades in the game, and his W spirit-cleave does almost nothing until it is leveled and stacked. Open trades: W onto him, Q-tap, walk out before his second Q-dash empowers. Hold your E to eat his Q-dash damage if he commits, and never throw a long-range held Q while standing in melee where he can dash onto you.
