Pantheon Top guide

Pantheon top is a duelist built around Comet Spear (Q), Shield Vault (W), and Aegis Assault (E): open with Shield Vault to stun and close the gap, set Aegis Assault to tank the return damage, then land Comet Spear for the finishing hit while Mortal Will (passive) empowers whichever spell comes next.

The build

Rune page: Conqueror, Presence of Mind, Legend: Haste, and Last Stand (Precision), with Transcendence and Scorch (Sorcery). Summoners: Flash and Ignite. Skill order opens Comet Spear (Q) at level 1, then maxes Comet Spear (Q) first with Aegis Assault (E) second. Starter: Doran's Blade and a Health Potion, into Plated Steelcaps. Core build: Eclipse, Black Cleaver, Sundered Sky, with Voltaic Cyclosword, Spear of Shojin, and Death's Dance as later options.

Ability mechanics

Mortal Will (passive) empowers Pantheon's next spell every few spells or attacks. Comet Spear (Q) either thrusts his spear up close or throws it at range. Shield Vault (W) dashes him to a target, damaging and stunning them, while Aegis Assault (E) sets his shield, making him invulnerable to damage from the front while he strikes repeatedly.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Malphite, Aatrox, Garen, Darius, Sett. Best matchups: Yone, Jax, Jayce.
