Playing as Pantheon

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Raise your Aegis against burst

    Raise Aegis Assault (E) against enemy burst: you ignore damage from that direction, except from towers.

  4. 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 Aatrox

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Avoid the edge of his blade

    Stick to him or step out of range when he casts The Darkin Blade (Q): only the edge, at the end of each swing, knocks you into the air and deals full damage.

  2. Get out of his chains fast

    Leave the Infernal Chains (W) zone before it closes, with a dash if you have one: otherwise you get pulled back to the impact point and take the damage again.

  3. Trade after his blade

    Take a trade right after the three swings of The Darkin Blade (Q): it's his only knock-up, with a 14 to 6 second cooldown depending on rank.

  4. Short trades

    Take short trades: Umbral Dash (E) heals him for part of all the damage he deals to champions, so a long trade favors him.

  5. Respect his level 6

    Once he hits level 6, back off when he casts World Ender (R): he gains AD and increased healing, and every takedown extends its duration.
