Jayce vs Pantheon in Top lane is a lane that swings with levels on patch 26.16. The one thing to respect: his W is a point-and-click jump that wins early trades — swap to melee form every time he lands on you. Below is the exact page the OTP runs — runes, skill max order, summoner spells, item build and the four tips that decide the lane, plus a quick quiz before you lock in.

How to play it

✓ DO

Melee-form his W

Swap to melee form every time he W-jumps you — the extra defensive stats let you tank the trade.

You outscale him

Once you get levels and items you outscale him — survive the early game and the lane tips your way, if he has no big lead.

Trade HP for waves

Accept HP trades to crash waves, but don't overforce and hand him a kill this early.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never waste your E or Flash — hold them for his jumps or he gets real kill windows.
