Pantheon vs Yone

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Pantheon is an early lane bully who must pressure Yone to deny his scaling and avoid passive farming.
Use Pantheon's high early lane pressure to snowball and create map impact before Yone's mid-game spikes.

Trading pattern

Start trades with (W) stun followed by empowered (Q) to burst before Yone can respond.
Use (E) to block Yone's main burst damage and disengage safely after trades.
Punish Yone's use of (E) for engage by stepping forward when it is down to extend trades or force recalls.

Danger windows

Respect (E) knockup and snapback as his main all-in tool; avoid extended trades when it is available.
Be cautious after using (W) since Pantheon's engage becomes predictable and punishable.
Avoid trading when (E) is down as Yone's retaliation damage sticks harder during this window.

Early game

Aggressively use empowered (Q) and (W) stun from level 2 to force short trades and build a health lead.
Avoid wasting (E) before Yone commits his main damage to block his retaliation effectively.
Keep wave control to enable roaming with (R) after level 6 or to reset safely.

Power spikes

Level 2-3 is Pantheon's strongest window: use empowered (Q), (W), and (E) to force lane dominance and build leads.
Level 6 unlocks (R) for Pantheon to crash waves and impact other lanes, increasing map pressure.
Respect Yone's level 3 combo and first attack speed item spikes by playing around cooldowns and wave states.

Win conditions

Win by snowballing early with empowered trades and (W) stun to deny Yone safe scaling.
Use wave control to crash and roam with (R) to create cross-map pressure and extend Pantheon's lead.
Punish Yone's cooldowns, especially (E), to maintain lane dominance and force him behind before he scales.
