Playing as Pantheon
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 Evelynn
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Back off as soon as she marks you
Back off toward your tower as soon as Allure (W) marks you: if the mark lasts 2.5 seconds, her next hit charms you and lowers your magic resist.
- Place a Control Ward
Once she hits level 6, place a Control Ward on her paths: it reveals camouflaged enemies, like Evelynn in Demon Shade (passive).
- Save your CC for her arrival
If you have CC, use it as soon as she comes out of camouflage on you: Last Caress (R) is her only way to become untargetable and get away.
- Play hard before she hits 6
Play hard before she hits level 6: without the Demon Shade (passive) camouflage, your wards see her coming.
