Tips to maximize your impact
- Start with Shield Vault
Start your trades with Shield Vault (W): you leap onto your target and stun them, so Comet Spear (Q) can't miss.
- Thrust or throw
Tap Comet Spear (Q) for a short thrust that refunds part of the cooldown, or hold it to throw your spear farther.
- Raise your Aegis against burst
Raise Aegis Assault (E) against enemy burst: you ignore damage from that direction, except from towers.
- Roam with Grand Starfall
Roam with Grand Starfall (R): you leap from long range onto the chosen area, and the spell instantly readies Mortal Will (passive).

Playing against Pantheon
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Trade after his Shield Vault
Take a trade when Shield Vault (W) is on cooldown: it's his only spell to leap onto you and stun you, on a 13 to 9 second cooldown.
- Go around his Aegis
During Aegis Assault (E), go around him or wait it out: he ignores damage from the front, except from towers.
- Back before you get too low
Back before your health gets too low against him: below a health threshold, Comet Spear (Q) deals much more damage.
- Ping when he leaves lane
Ping your team as soon as he disappears from lane: Grand Starfall (R) lands him from long range, after a short delay that gives you time to get away.
- Drag the game out
If you survive his first minutes, play for time: Pantheon looks to get ahead early through his trades and roams.
