How to win lane as Sejuani against Pantheon · 56.67% win rate over 90 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | Pantheon's passive shield procs on your first auto and his Q poke strips Permafrost armor off before you can apply a single Frost stack — no trade is worth taking at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Pantheon | He unlocks W point-click stun at level 2 and can kill you near walls; stay mid-lane, farm with Q range, and do not give him a terrain-assisted burst window. |
| Level 3 | Pantheon | His full Q-W empowered spear combo at level 3 out-damages your Q-W-E chain before your Frost stacks are full — you survive but he wins the trade; wait for his W cooldown before engaging. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Neither kit has a decisive edge here — Pantheon's burst is honest but your Permafrost resistances are stacking; farm evenly and track his W timer before any commit. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Glacial Prison changes the math: you can stun him at range before his passive shield procs, opening the Q-W-E full combo for the first time without eating a point-click stun in return. |
| First item | Even / skill | Sunfire Aegis makes you functionally unkillable to Pantheon's damage line — force the all-in on his W cooldown and your passive Permafrost armor eats the rest of his combo. |
| Two+ items | Sejuani | Two items in, Pantheon's damage has flatlined and your CC uptime is overwhelming — Q-W-E loops him out of every side-lane fight and Glacial Prison decides every teamfight. |
Pantheon wins levels 1 through 3 cleanly — his passive shield eats your first auto, his Q poke chips your Permafrost armor off before you can stack Frost, and his W point-click stun fires before your E can stun him back. Do not try to trade level 1; walk up only to last-hit and let him push. At level 2 he gets W and you get Q — if he stuns you into a wall or under tower he can kill you, so never stand near terrain. Level 3 is the first time you have Q-W-E available, but his full combo still out-damages yours at this HP level; take short trades only when his W stun is confirmed on cooldown and get out with Q.
