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 Yorick
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Dodge his Mourning Mist
Dodge Mourning Mist (E): once marked, you lose armor, his nearby graves keep raising Mist Walkers, and his units rush toward you.
- Kill his Mist Walkers first
Kill his Mist Walkers, summoned by Shepherd of Souls (passive), before going for him: a single auto or single-target spell is enough for each.
- Break his wall
If Dark Procession (W) traps you, hit the wall to break it instead of waiting for it to disappear.
- Kill the Maiden first
If you can, take down the Maiden of the Mist before Yorick: summoned by Eulogy of the Isles (R), she carries a large part of his damage and push.
- Answer his split push
Don't let him split push alone: with the Eulogy of the Isles (R) Maiden and his Mist Walkers, he quickly threatens a tower. Send someone to answer him.
