Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1TeemoPantheon's Aegis Protection passive gives him a free auto-block — poke with autos early to burn it, then Blind Shot the follow-up trade before he resets it.
Level 2TeemoHis Shield Vault stun is point-click but requires walking into range — Toxic Shot + Move Quick lets you punish every step he takes toward you.
Level 3TeemoFull kit online: Blind Shot erases his passive reset during the trade window and Toxic Shot DoT punishes the disengage — Pantheon cannot win extended poke.
Levels 4-5TeemoMax-rank Blind Shot with poison stacking hits its peak — he has no reliable gap-close through your Move Quick, and every trade he initiates is on your terms.
Level 6TeemoYour Level 6 spike is primarily defensive here: Noxious Trap mushrooms on river entries and the corridor shut down Grand Starfall ambushes and give you map confidence.
First itemTeemoLiandry's or Nashor's Tooth is online and your poison DoT now threatens his medium HP pool in every trade — mushrooms convert the sidelane into yours alone.
Two+ itemsPantheonEclipse or Lethality Mythic plus a second item means one W-stun into a full empowered Comet Spear burst can kill you outright — play the split carefully and respect the kill range.

Early game (levels 1–5)

At level 1 Pantheon wants to bully with empowered Comet Spear — walk up, take your E poison stack, and walk out. Do not let him build his Aegis Protection passive for free: poke with autos so he burns the block on a chip auto, then Q-blind the instant he steps in for a real trade. His W (Aegis Assault) is his all-in tool, not his stun — his stun is Shield Vault (W point-click), so the moment you see him step toward you with his passive glowing, pre-fire the blind to invalidate the follow-up auto. Shroom the first tri-bush by level 2 so you always know where the river path is; Pantheon junglers love to path with him early.
