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 Zed

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade when his shadow is down

    Take a trade when he has used Living Shadow (W): while it's on cooldown, he has no double shuriken and no way out.

  2. Don't stay in lane at low health

    Back rather than staying in lane at low health against him: Contempt for the Weak (passive) adds magic damage to his autos against low-health targets.

  3. Get ready for his mark to pop

    If you have invulnerability or a shield, use it right before Death Mark (R) pops, 3 seconds after his dash: it repeats part of the damage he dealt you.

  4. Watch the shadow from his mark

    After his dash onto you, spot the shadow left at his starting point: if he recasts Death Mark (R), that's where he reappears.
