• Flash: Allows you to have more offensive options to enter combat, in addition to serving as an escape tool.
• Ignite: Use it as a tool to finish off enemies in case they want to escape with low health.

• Black Cleaver: Grants bonus attack speed, magic damage, ability power, and ability haste.
• Sterak's Gage: Grants additional health and a passive shield, when his health drops too low.

Tips for Pantheon’s playstyle

Released in 2010, and with a massive rework in 2019, this warrior is more than known within the competitive for his high selection rate, in addition to always standing out in many compositions for his flexibility and usefulness within the game.

At first, his Comet Spear can become a problem for any enemy, due to its big range, its amount of scalable damage and its short cooldown, allowing him to harass the enemies gradually with it throughout the game.

His way of engaging any confrontation with his Shield Vault, and of preventing large amounts of damage in addition to wasting resources of his opponents with his Aegis Assault, makes Pantheon have several aces up his sleeve in matters of sieges, ambushes, or simply to annoy the enemy.

His most effective tool to unbalance any confrontation is undoubtedly his Grand Starfall, which allows him to break through any and help any of your allies in distress in case they are overwhelmed by the enemy attack.

However, you must learn to use it at the right time and place, since a poor decision on where to land can end up with you being left badly, surrounded by your enemies and finally, giving away a kill.
