His spear poke and W-stun out-trade your dash windows. Eat poke, respect the stun, and scale past his early.
Track: Pantheon's W — Shield Vault (13–9s cooldown). His all-in start. Bait it.
Read from Yone's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Pantheon.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | Pantheon wins level 1 — his Q poke and damage-blocking passive shut down your early trades. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays his as Shield Vault adds a stun that turns every exchange into an all-in threat. |
| Level 3 | Yone | Level 3 remains Pantheon's; his kill pressure peaks and you can't answer his combo yet. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 even out into a skill check as his early lead window closes and your scaling starts. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 it's a skill check — his ult roams but the 1v1 balances as your item timings approach. |
| First item | Yone | First item is yours: your DPS spike flips the duel against a Pantheon who's begun to fall off. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Late you out-scale hard — kiting and cleave beat his poke-and-dive kit in every extended fight. |
Pantheon dominates the opening — Comet Spear poke, a point-and-click Shield Vault stun, and Mortal Will empowering his next spell let him out-trade you at every level 1-3 window. Play defensive, dodge his Q, and give up CS rather than health; never fight into the stun.
