Pantheon vs Warwick

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use Pantheon's early lane bully tools to pressure Warwick and deny his sustain and extended trades.
Prioritize early aggression and wave control to prevent Warwick from safely scaling and outlasting you in fights.

Trading pattern

Start trades by stunning Warwick with (W) and follow up with empowered (Q) for burst damage.
Use (E) to block Warwick's main damage, especially his (Q) healing burst, to minimize his sustain advantage.
Punish Warwick when his (E) fear is down by forcing quick trades and backing off before he can retaliate.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) fear and (R) suppression are up, as they enable strong all-ins.
Avoid trading when your (E) is down, as Warwick's damage and healing will punish you harder.
Watch for Warwick's passive stacks enabling empowered trades; keep distance or disengage if you lack (E) or (W) cooldowns.

Early game

Push early waves aggressively to force Warwick into risky trades where you can stun and burst him.
Use empowered (Q) and (W) at levels 2-3 to win short trades and build health leads before Warwick's sustain becomes impactful.
Avoid extended fights where Warwick can heal; reset trades quickly with (E) to block his retaliation.

Power spikes

Level 2-3: Use empowered (Q), (W), and (E) to force lane control and build early health leads.
Level 6: Crash waves and use (R) to roam and create pressure on the map, denying Warwick safe farming.
Respect Warwick's level 6 (R) suppression; avoid extended trades when it's available and bait its use before engaging.

Win conditions

Snowball early by landing (W) stuns and empowered (Q) bursts to deny Warwick scaling and force him out of lane.
Use wave crashes to roam with (R) and impact other lanes before Warwick can respond.
Maintain lane pressure and cooldown advantage to prevent Warwick from engaging extended fights where he excels.
