Pantheon Support is an aggressive playmaker combining strong lane presence with excellent roaming potential through his semi-global ultimate. His ability to transition from support to carry makes him particularly effective at snowballing advantages.

Core Abilities

Pantheon's passive allows him to enhance abilities after accumulating 5 stacks through auto attacks and abilities. The optimal ability enhancement priority varies based on situation:

  • Enhanced W: Best for damage combos (provides triple auto attack)
  • Enhanced Q: Ideal for poke and execution damage
  • Enhanced E: Use defensively for movement speed and resistances

Key Ability Combos

Standard burst combo:

  1. Enhanced W → Triple auto attack
  2. TapQ → Auto attack
  3. Enhanced E (for escape)

Damage-focused combo (when safe):

  1. Enhanced W → Triple auto attack
  2. TapQ → Auto attacks
  3. Follow with TapQ/ThrowQ based on range

Skill Order

  • Max Q first
  • Then W
  • E last
  • Start with W at level 1 for strong lane presence

Quick Stack Building

  • Ultimate landing grants 5 stacks
  • Use TapQ while moving
  • Auto attack minions
  • Always aim to maintain high stack count

Important Tips

  • Q critically hits targets below 20% health
  • TapQ is preferred over ThrowQ (95% of cases)
  • Use enhanced W with Press the Attack for maximum damage
  • Save E as defensive tool against threats
  • Prioritize damage (Q/W) when ahead, defense (E) when threatened

Combat Rules

  1. Don't waste abilities near 5 stacks
  2. Prioritize enhanced W over Q for Press the Attack
  3. Keep E as defensive option
  4. Use enhanced Q for executions (below 20% HP)
