Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1PantheonPantheon's Q spear out-ranges my poke and his passive blocks my Harrier autos at level 1 — I have no kit yet to answer the bully.
Level 2PantheonWith W stun online he can point-click pin me and empower-Q, and my single ability can't trade back through his auto-block.
Level 3PantheonEven with Q-W-E up, his spear poke and stun-into-empowered-Q out-damage my Harrier resets in a short trade.
Levels 4-5PantheonLevels 4-5 he keeps the all-in threat with W stun plus Q-empower and shoves me off plates before my items.
Level 6Even / skillAt 6 my R only refreshes Harrier for roams while his R is global — the pure lane duel goes genuinely even as we both leave lane.
First itemPantheonHis first-item lethality (Eclipse / Profane Hydra) lets a single stun-Q delete me while I'm still squishy — his spike beats mine.
Two+ itemsQuinnHe falls off into items while my crit/lethality and W kite reclaim it — I blind his autos with Q and out-DPS him at range.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Pantheon out-bullies me hard at levels 1-3 — his Q spear out-ranges my early poke and his passive blocks my Harrier autos and Q ticks, so I can't win the short trade before my full kit is online. Do NOT walk up to throw a Q he can just spear-and-stun me out of. Last-hit at max range, respect the point-click W stun, and never let him land a stun-into-empowered-Q combo — that chunk is a kill setup. Just farm and survive.
