Read from Warwick's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Pantheon.
This is Warwick's own plan; across 990 pooled games the lane is Pantheon-favoured.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Warwick | Level 1 favours you before Pantheon's poke tools are online. |
| Level 2 | Pantheon | Level 2 favours Pantheon as Comet Spear and Shield Vault stun let him win the first trade. |
| Level 3 | Pantheon | Level 3 stays Pantheon's since his burst combo outdamages your sustain early. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are even as your Jaws heal starts to offset his poke and the trade evens out. |
| Level 6 | Warwick | Level 6 favours you: Infinite Duress suppresses 1.5s and Aegis Assault only guards his front. |
| First item | Pantheon | First item favours Pantheon whose early lead and burst combo still win short trades. |
| Two+ items | Warwick | Two-plus items swings to you: Pantheon's damage falls off while your sustain and speed out-scale him. |
Level 1 is yours, but from level 2 Pantheon's Comet Spear poke and Shield Vault stun take over — his early burst outdamages you, so play safe, sustain with Q, and don't feed his lead.
