Read from Yasuo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Pantheon.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | Level 1 is Pantheon's — Comet Spear and empowered autos out-poke you. |
| Level 2 | Pantheon | Level 2 stays Pantheon's: his Shield Vault stun all-in beats your early trades. |
| Level 3 | Pantheon | Level 3 is Pantheon's as his poke-and-stun pattern peaks before your items. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yasuo | Levels 4-5 swing to you — dash spacing dodges his poke and punishes cooldowns. |
| Level 6 | Pantheon | Level 6 tips back to Pantheon: Grand Starfall roams and his W all-in. |
| First item | Yasuo | First item is yours — crit Yasuo out-scales a Pantheon whose damage plateaus. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | 2+ items stay yours: you out-duel and out-scale his falling-off kit. |
Pantheon owns levels 1-3: Comet Spear poke and a Shield Vault stun into empowered autos shred you before you have items, and his point-blank W engage ignores Wind Wall. Farm safe, dodge his Q, and don't take the extended trade.
