Introduction
Pantheon was an old favorite champion of mine that I recently had a lot of fun playing with, since I got bored seeing and playing the same champions in every game. It has come to my attention, that now (with the jungle changes) Pantheon has a nice jungling potential.
His Spear Shot applies the Lizard buff slow on enemies giving him a nice ganking power.
In addition, I believe that Pantheon is a very fun but underplayed champion, who has a need to shine.
In this short guide, as you can see, I include a build for Tanky AD Pantheon for solo top.
Pros:
- Has fairly fast jungle
- Amazing ganker
- Stun
- Semi-Global ulty
- Great damage output
- Can towerdive early because of passive
- Tanky late game
Cons:
- No natural escape
- Need to start at blue
- Scales to tank not to dps in late game
- Rage at champion select etc.
- Mana hungry
I start with a Wriggle's Lantern, buying armor and potions first. Then I buy Boots and a Phage. That I build it into a Frozen Mallet and then I go for Atma's Impaler the most OP, cost efficient, tanky dps item. At 3000 hp it provides a nice 60 bonus ad. Last, I build a Banshee's Veil and a Last Whisper.
Late game, Wriggle's Lantern can be replaced by Bloodthirster for some extra damage, but games rarely go that far.
Alternative item choices:
- Force of Nature if your opponents are mainly AP and you need magic resist.
- Aegis of the Legion and/or Zeke's Harbinger for a more supporting role in your team.
- Infinity Edge if you are owning hard :P
- Warmog's Armor if you prefer insane hitpoints and thus tankiness.
- I also enjoy Trinity Force on Pantheon,although it's a bit expensive.
and to get in or Gtfo!
With the Flash nerf, Ghost seems attractive, but pantheon doesn't have a trick up his sleeve to make a natural escape. (except ulty, but that can go bad)
Generall, I, too, believe that every jungler MUST have Smite and that Flash continues to be useful even after that nerf.
If you want a more complete jungling - ganking guide, try to find a general jungle guide with more tips. Everything generally works with pantheon.
In addition, after level 6, Pantheon's ulty makes him extremely dangerous and nearly every ulty-gank is a kill, if you cooperate successfully with your teammates and aim it right.
- Remember that Aegis of Zeonia refreshes your passive.
- Try to attack, then move, then attack to maximize your positioning and damage.
- Aegis Protection does not affect magic skills.....
- If you have red buff, even your Spear Shot applies a slow on the opponent.
- If you find yourself mana starved don't hesitate to buy some Mana Potion
- Spear Shot's synergy with Heartseeker Strike's passive makes it deal 150% damage to targets with less than 15% health!!! (read tooltip)
I will continue updating and meliorate this guide. Let me know your thoughts about it. I hope I helped a bit! Have fun!
