Pantheon is an early lane bully aiming to snowball by denying Renekton scaling and applying lane pressure.
Prioritize aggressive trades to prevent Renekton from stacking fury and controlling the wave.
Trading pattern
Initiate trades by stunning with (W), follow up with empowered (Q), and block Renekton's retaliation using (E).
Punish Renekton when he uses both (E) dashes forward by trading aggressively before his escape is available.
Avoid extended trades when (E) is down, as Renekton's burst and sustain can punish you then.
Danger windows
Respect Renekton's empowered (W) stun and burst when his fury is high; avoid trading in these windows.
Be cautious when Renekton has both (E) casts available, as he can dash in and out safely.
Avoid extended fights when your (E) is down, as Renekton can punish your inability to block damage.
Early game
Use level 2-3 empowered (Q), (W), and (E) to force early health leads and crash waves.
Avoid wasting (W) into bad wave states where Renekton can punish your cooldowns.
Prepare to roam after level 6 by pushing wave hard to create map pressure with (R).
Power spikes
At level 2-3, use empowered (Q), (W), and (E) to force strong early trades and build lane control.
Respect Renekton's level 3 power spike when he has full combo with (Q), (W), and (E) available; avoid trading without cooldown advantage.
At level 6, use (R) to create cross-map pressure after crashing waves, but be wary of Renekton's increased durability and all-in potential with his (R).
Win conditions
Snowball early by landing empowered trades and (W) stuns to build health leads and wave control.
Use wave crashes to roam with (R) and apply map pressure before Renekton can scale.
Deny Renekton the ability to stack fury and force him into unfavorable trades by controlling lane tempo aggressively.
