Pantheon is a very strong early-game champion in "League of Legends: Wild Rift" who can end a match before it even starts. His high damage numbers at the start of the game can stop the enemy team's key carries, and thanks to the scores you get, you can easily go into a snowball effect.
Why Should You Pick Pantheon?
- Pantheon is an extremely strong champion in the early game.
- He can be played in almost any role.
- Although Pantheon is a tank, he can deal burst damage like an assassin.
Pantheon is not a very hard champion to play. Although his mechanics can be considered simple, there are a few important points beginners should pay attention to.
Pantheon's Abilities
1st Ability
You can use your Q ability in 2 different ways. In the laning phase, this ability lets you poke your opponent from a distance and is strong enough to keep them away from the farm wave. If you use your spears effectively, your opponent will both fear you and fall behind because of the experience they miss. The point to remember is that if your opponent is far away, you need to hold your Q ability for a while to charge it, so that it can travel farther. However, for an opponent close to you, you can use Q without wasting time. If you use your Q ability after 5 stacks, you deal more damage.
2nd Ability
Although many players only use Pantheon's W ability to stun their opponent, with an empowered W ability you can deal damage to your opponent that is higher than they could ever predict. You can also use your W ability on a minion to escape from opponents and open up the distance between you and them. A W ability used after 5 stacks deals extra damage and stuns your opponent for longer.
3rd Ability
The ability that keeps you alive is your E ability. If you use it at the right time against a burst of damage from a champion on the enemy team or against turret damage, you can continue on your way without taking any harm. You should not underestimate the damage reduction of the E ability and should not rush when using it. An empowered E ability lets you take no damage for 2.5 seconds.
Ultimate Ability
This ability, which lets you rise into the sky and dive into the middle of the chaos, is the only ability that makes Pantheon attractive. If you play Pantheon in the mid lane, you have control over the whole map, and you can reach any lane where you see kill potential within seconds and hurt the enemy team. It would be a mistake to use the R ability only aggressively. You can also use it to escape from ambushes on your lane and make the enemy team say "Where did this guy go?"
LoL: Wild Rift Pantheon's Laning Phase
You can comfortably play him in any lane. Playing in the mid lane lets you be effective across the whole map, but you don't need to condition yourself to it, because he can also be very effective and painful when played in the support role or in the jungle.
Because he is a very strong champion in the early game, you need to put pressure on the opposing champion. Poking the opponent as much as possible with your Q ability in the early game will win you the lane. A won lane means helping your teammates, and that is the only thing you need to win the game.
What Should the Wild Rift Pantheon Build Look Like?
You can think of Pantheon as both an Off-tank and an assassin. So the items you should build will differ depending on your playstyle. Our recommendation is, since he is strong in the early game and falls off toward the end of the game, to build Off-tank and try to survive longer in fights.
