Pantheon vs Irelia

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use Pantheon's early lane bully tools to pressure Irelia and deny her passive stacking for resets.
Prioritize aggressive early trades and wave control to snowball before Irelia reaches her scaling windows.

Trading pattern

Start trades with point-and-click (W) stun and follow up with empowered (Q) for burst damage.
Use (E) to block Irelia's main retaliation damage and disengage quickly.
Punish Irelia when she uses (Q) forward without reset minions or misses (E) stun.

Danger windows

Respect (E) stun and (R) engage marks as windows where she can force extended all-ins.
Avoid trading when (E) is down as Irelia's retaliation damage becomes harder to block.
Be cautious when Irelia has low-health minions for (Q) resets enabling aggressive engages.

Early game

Exploit level 2-3 empowered (Q), (W), and (E) to force short trades and build health leads.
Avoid engaging when (E) is down to prevent taking Irelia's burst damage.
Crash waves after winning trades to set up roams or reset before Irelia can safely extend.

Power spikes

Level 2-3: Use empowered (Q), (W), and (E) to force lane control and punish Irelia's early all-in attempts.
Level 6: Crash waves then roam with (R) to impact other lanes and extend lead.
Respect Irelia's level 2 spike when she gains (Q) and (E) for reliable stuns and resets.

Win conditions

Use early empowered trades and (W) stun to deny Irelia's passive stacks and scaling.
Convert lane pressure into map pressure by crashing waves and roaming with (R) after level 6.
Maintain lane dominance by punishing Irelia's missed (E) or poor (Q) resets to snowball the matchup.

Tip: For Pantheon vs Irelia, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Top lane check.
