My Guide (the Instruction)

Hi :D

First let me tell you this is not any extreme-pro-i will kill everyone with this guide-guide, its just a normal, (i think) good guide, use it or not :D

ah, yes, im german, so my english is not the best, but hopefully good enough.

PS: An overfeedet Spartan is the baddest thing u can see. IF you can see him. ;)

Pros and Cons of Pantheon

good damage
very good in early game, and still good in late game
nice stun
very very powerful ulti
wearing an helmet and a speer
SPARTAN!

not the best life
low magicresistance
focussed very often

Wriggley's Lantern

Wriggleys is in my opinion one of the best early game items ingame.

nice early damage
some armor
a ward, very useful

Infinity Edge

Last Whisper

The Black Cleaver

Runes

9x Greater Mark of Desolation gives me nice early armor pene.

9x attack speed? nice, good for Pantheon.

9x sh*t, I have no Magic Resistance - No Problem, with these Runes!

1x Greater Quintessence of Desolation More Armor Pene?? yeah, hammer time!

2x Attack damage! This is Sparta!

Items

The Bloodthirster, Infinity Edge, Phantom Dancer and Frozen Mallet should be self-explained, oh, yes, and Berserker's Greaves. :D

If you need more Survivability, dont buy the Frozen Mallet, buy Banshee's Veil.

Oh, and if you need Infinity Edge more than The Bloodthirster, buy it first.

Summoner Spells

I use Ignite and Flash;


nice damage in early game, and useful if they have any good healers, like Soraka, Swain...

I love this Spell! Get away from enemys faster, flash to enemys to kill them... Really good!

Last Hitting

Do it. Just do it.

Oh yes, another thing:
If there are many minions, its ok to use Heartseeker Strike, very nice farm!
