There are multiple ways to play pantheon:
You can play pantheon as a pretty decent jungler (not included in this guide),
You can play pantheon as a offtank toplaner,
Or you can play pantheon as a high damage top (the way i like to go).
Ofcourse there are other ways of playing pantheon, but they are not in this guide.

Runes
I use very offensive runes, because i know im an aggrassive player who likes a lot of damage.
Greater Mark of Armor Penetration: armor penetration is one of the best runes you can have, because flat AD or AD per level wont be as usefull lategame compared to armor penetration.
Greater Seal of Armor: armor is always good, especialy early game, so you wont get as much damage when harrassed.
Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist: you will need some magic resistance for teamfights lategame, so you can survive and do your part of damage dealing.
Greater Quintessence of Attack Damage: These are just for some nice early game damage.
Masteries: I use 21-9-0 for the best damage output and still some armor and magic resistance so you wont be killed right away.

Runes
Greater Mark of Armor Penetration: Armor penetration is important, even for offtank Pantheon, because Pantheon is one of the strongest early game champions, so you want to make the difference in your lane as quick as possible.
Greater Seal of Armor: When you play Offtank Pantheon, you want to have armor. These runes make you a bit more tanky early game.
Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist: Extra late game magic resistance is always good for an Offtank.
Greater Quintessence of Attack Damage: Also just like the armor penetration runes, you will need some damage early game to win your lane.
Masteries: Here I use 9-21-0, because of pantheons great potential early game, take 9 points in offence to give you a bit more damage. the 21 points in defence are mainly to make you tanky so you won't get bursted away.

There are a few summoner spells witch are good to have with Pantheon, but there are some spells that are terrible.
Summoner Spells that are good on Pantheon:
Flash great for mobility, can be used for chasing as well as escaping.
Ghost also great for mobility, its better for long chases, but you cant use it to jump walls or for short chases.
Ignite great spell for enemy's with heal, spellvamp, or lifesteal. this will shut down their regeneration and its also usefull for finishing enemy champions.
Exhaust also good for chasing, or nice to have when you play against some high damage champion since it denies 70% of the enemy's attack damage.
Summoner spells that aren't very good on Pantheon:
Heal you dont need heal in most cases because you will be able to burst down most champions, and if you know you cant burst someone down instant or almost instant, it might be better just to avoid them as much as possible.
Clarity If you dont finish off every single minion with your Q or E you will be fine with your mana, as long as you go back when you have enough gold to buy some items.

Summoner spells that aren't very good on Pantheon:


Here's a list with items that are good for pantheon, these are the items I normaly chose, but if you dont like the way they are, feel free to change it so you will like it.
First start with
Elixir of Fortitude a sight ward and 4
Health Potion, some people might like it more to start with
Doran's Blade, or even
Doran's Shield, but when you bring along a
Elixir of Fortitude you can use it to counter the enemy, because using it gives you a health and attack damage boost, wich could be pretty usefull when u are about to be towerdived or about to towerdive.
Then when you go back for the first time, try to have enough gold for a
Tear of the Goddess, buy this item as fast as you can, because it's really important so stack it as fast as possible. you might want to grab 2
Doran's Blade if you aren't going that well, and you could use the health boost. Otherwise i would advise you to buy a
The Brutalizer as soon as possible, because it will give your damage a huge boost, it has cooldown reduction so you can deal more damage in a shorter amount of time, and it has armor penetration so your attack damage will be used better.
Next up are the
Boots, just to give you a bit more mobility. some of you guys might want to buy
Boots a lot earlier, but my experience has learned me that you don't really need them a lot earlier in the game.
after buying
Boots, buy
Black Cleaver, this item really wasn't that great before, but since riot decided to change it's passive, it is one hell of an item for pantheon, everytime you deal damage to your enemy, he wil lose 7,5% of his armor for a short duration, and this stacks up to 4 times! so you'll deal amazing damage when u have this item.
now make your
Tear of the Goddess a
Manamune because when u get this item full stacked it will change into a
Muramana, everytime you are about to do your combo, toggle this item on for a lot more damage.
Now the build is pretty much dependant on how you are doing, if you are going great and u feel like you can take on everyone, go ahead and buy a
B. F. Sword, just for the damage,
If you're not doing that great, pick a
Phage for some more health,
If the enemy team has got an AP wich is bothering you, buy the
Hexdrinker so you can deal with him/her.
Eventualy you only want to have 2 of these items.
When you bought a
B. F. Sword first, look at how you are doing before buying your
Bloodthirster.
If your going good you want to have that
Bloodthirster as soon as possible,
If your not doing great you better build that
Frozen Mallet first,
And again, if their AP is being difficult make a
Maw of Malmortius first.
Do this until you have 2 of the items above, then finally buy a
Last Whisper to counter that last bit of armor the enemy has, so you can burst them down even faster.
I'll say this yet again, if you dont like an item and you think something else is better, feel free to take that item, this is only a guide.

Just as Assasin Pantheon, start with
Elixir of Fortitude a sight ward and 4
Health Potion. just as with Assasin Pantheon, if you think its better to start with
Doran's Blade or
Doran's Shield, its your choice so do whatever you feel good by.
When coming back for the first time, go with 2
Doran's Blade, not just for the attack damage but also for the 80 health on each dorans blade, if you have enough gold left, also buy a
Ruby Crystal so you can buy yourelf a
Phage later.
The Pantheon offtank build doesnt contain
The Brutalizer, because this item only gives you more damage and 0 health, armor or magic resistance. If i build Offtank Pantheon i rather go for a
Phage , and a
Hexdrinker because these items still give you some attack damage but also give you health or magic resistance.
When you have both the
Phage and the
Hexdrinker, i reccomend to build
Mercury's Treads and a
Chain Vest, because the only armor you had untill now where your runes and tier 2 boots provide you that extra bit of mobility and tenacity.
Then after that build a
Frozen Mallet and a
Maw of Malmortius, wich are great items for damage with health and magic resistance.
As soon as you have the
Frozen Mallet and the
Maw of Malmortius, buy yourself a
Sunfire Aegis for more armor and health.
now you will only need a bit more health to complete your build, so buy a
Warmog's Armor for health, and after that a
Atma's Impaler, because this item gives you armor, and damage for a % of your health.
now your build is complete.

philosopher's stone it can be a good items if you want to spam your ability's early game, but then you would have to keep it for a decent time until it has payed itself back. And because you can't use it to build a item good for panteon late game, i won't reccomend it.

Also you can use it the same way as


After buying the
Elixir of Fortitude, sight ward and
Health Potion, got top and wait at the turret, as soon as the minions are fighting, try to take as much minion kills as you can, while harrassing your opponent with your
Spear Shot (be carefull not to waste all your mana)
When you reach level 3, you should have got the opponent low enough to try and go for the kill.
throw your
Spear Shot, then jump with your
Aegis of Zeonia and use your
Heartseeker Strike straight after. If your opponent didnt die yet, Finish him off with basic attacks and your
Spear Shot.
Keep on farming and killing untill you reach level 6.
Then look for opportunities to gank mid with your
Grand Skyfall, so the mid goes well, and the jungler has all the time to help out bot, if needed.

The teamfights should be starting about now, your job is to focus out the enemy AD and AP carry, wich you could do by using your
Grand Skyfall onto the back of their team.
this causes confusion in their team wich you and your team can use to win the teamfight.
besides teamfights you want to grab as much minionkills as possible, because you need the items to deal damage.

besides teamfights you want to grab as much minionkills as possible, because you need the items to deal damage.
Keep trying to farm, but a little less, try to be with your team as much as you can, and be there on the frontline, because you must be the one who will initiate and give your team a chanse to attack the enemy team.
In teamfights try to focus out the enemy AD and AP carry´s so your team will win that teamfight.
In teamfights try to focus out the enemy AD and AP carry´s so your team will win that teamfight.
Still try and farm whenever possible, and try to kill every AD and AP carry in the enemy team, every teamfight. you might die because you aren't the most tanky champion, but you will deal massive damage. if you're able to erase their carry's your team will win every teamfight for sure (unless your team isn't reacting to your initiate).
Now i'm going to tell you some tips and tricks for playing pantheon,
1: always try to
Aegis of Zeonia when you are still in the air while using
Grand Skyfall, it gives you a lot more chanse to do damage with
Grand Skyfall.
2: try out playing pantheon mid, he is a great counter for most of the ap champs, so he is a nice alternative for champions like talon or kha'zix.
3: you can play pantheon support, and it works quite well, but support isn't explained in this guide so try and find out what works well for you, or find an pantheon support build.
4: pantheon is also a beast in dominion, so if you do like to play something else sometimes, try it out, its great fun.
5: try not to throw too much
Spear Shot because u can get out of mana really fast at low level.
6: once you got the
Tear of the Goddess it is recommended to throw as much
Spear Shot as you can, to fill that
Tear of the Goddess faster.
7: use your
Elixir of Fortitude to surprise the enemy, for example: when he/she is towerdiving you, use your
Elixir of Fortitude to grant you some extra health so you are able to counter the towerdive and grab yourself a kill.
