Pantheon vs Yasuo

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use Pantheon's early lane bully tools to pressure Yasuo and deny his scaling potential.
Maintain high lane pressure to prevent Yasuo from freely using (E) mobility and stacking (Q) safely.
Focus on snowballing early to leverage Pantheon's burst and roam strength before Yasuo's mid-game spikes.

Trading pattern

Start trades by stunning with (W) and follow up immediately with empowered (Q) for burst damage.
Use (E) to block Yasuo's main return damage and disengage before he can retaliate.
Punish Yasuo when his (W) is down by stepping forward for short trades or wave pressure.

Danger windows

Be cautious when your (E) is down, as Yasuo's return damage can punish you heavily.
Avoid extended trades immediately after using (W) since your engage becomes predictable.
Track (R) availability and hold key defensive tools to survive his all-in threat.

Early game

Aggressively trade at level 2-3 using empowered (Q), (W), and (E) to establish lane dominance.
Avoid using (W) into bad wave states where Yasuo can exploit your cooldowns.
Crash waves after winning trades to create roam opportunities with (R).

Power spikes

Level 2-3: Use empowered (Q), (W), and (E) to force strong early trades and build a health lead.
Level 6: Crash waves and use (R) to impact other lanes and create map pressure.
Respect Yasuo's level 2 combo with (Q) plus (E) mobility and his level 6 (R) knockup follow-up to avoid lethal trades.

Win conditions

Use early empowered trades and (W) stun to control the lane and deny Yasuo's scaling.
Convert lane pressure into map impact by crashing waves and roaming with (R) after level 6.
Maintain lane dominance and punish Yasuo's cooldowns to prevent him from reaching his mid-game power spikes.
