Darius is one of the best champions on extended battles since he has sustain and dealts a ton of damage. Since he usually goes rather tanky is difficult for you to go into a duel if you are even in HP and abilities.
Before level 6 you are still pretty strong against him. Afterwards try poking him(with your q) instead of battleling him face first.
Garen
Garen is one hell of a counter if he attacks you first because of his silence followed by his E. Domination runes(taste of blood, ravenous hunter) work pretty well against him, so take it on the second tree of runes.
Yorick
In overall a hard lane if you get hit by his E.
Avoid dueling with him while he has R or when he has 4 minions from his passive. Watch out for the graves so you know when to fight him.
Riven
Good lane if you wait for level 3 to fight. Try to block her last Q with your E if she still has her W or ultimate active.
Sett
If you are able to block his most combo(E-basic attack x2] you are probably good.
Do not forget he always lands behind after he ults you,so if you are low and still have E use it pointing behind to block his R damage and perhaps an auto.
He can stun you if a minion is on one side and you on the other.
Irelia
A mostly skill matchup. If she is going for blade of the ruined king first item(if she buys Vampiric Scepter) buy antiheal.
Be aware that she can Q through minions to get close to you.
Fiora
Fiora is one of the best duelists in the game and so is our Mantheon. Try not to get caught casting W on her while she is using hers(ability that blocks all damage and CC(crowd control) and stuns you if you try to immobilize her).
Antiheal is most likely necessary if she is running domination on the second tree of runes.
Tryndamere
A skill expression matchup only from your side since the only thing Tryndamere has to do is run towards you and basic attack you.
Play has usual but take care for his level 6(maxing W second on this matchup is necessary since he can just dash behind you with his E and so ignoring yours).
Volibear
Though matchup since Volibear thrives in duels. Bramble vest is a good solution if he is maxing W and most of their team is AD, if not build executioners instead. Armor boots also work pretty well against him. If you prefer you can roam and build has usual,since the previous tips were only about dueling in lane.
Aatrox
The dream battle!
Take domination runes on the second tree to gain some health back from trades, if you take resolve use "second wind" with "overgrowth".
Mostly skill matchup.
Teleport is better on this matchup since he heals from any damage, so executeners is better than ignite.
Urgot
A skill matchup. You can block his ult execute with your E, but you have to hit the timing since he supresses you during the execute.
Dr. Mundo
Annoying matchup. Try to roam more and farming.
Cho'Gath
Before level 6 you win all the trades IF you do not get hit by his Q while he his is close to you. Afterwards is more or less the same,try to block his R with your E if you are getting low.
Gangplank
Go in with 3 or 4 stacks of your passive, use W and he is gonna most likely use his so hit him with an empowered Q. Second point on Q at level 3 can help you trading with him.
Doran´s shield is also nice to build.
On runes you can take "second wind" to trade better.
Gnar
Ugh the annoying rat. Try to play similar to how you play against GP, go in with W with 3 or 4 stacks of your passive and trade with Q. When he get into mega you can fight him if you block some damage with your E.
Camille
Another skill matchup.Avoid fighting her while she has her passive shield activated.
Nasus
Before level 6 you are chilling but afterwards thats gonna be hard even if he is 0/10, its Nasus after all nobody can duel him in lane now.
Malphite
An alright matchup. Black cleaver first item will probably be the best option especially if your bottom is an ADC.
Illaoi
The worst nightmare to any fighter, Illaoi. Dont fight her much, focus on roaming and farming. Avoid getting hit by her E by standing behind minions.
Sion
As any other tank matchup Sion is annoying. You can cancel his Q with your W with the right timing.
Sylas
Rather easy lane suprisingly. If he is maxing W use ignite early or buy antiheal ,if you don´t ignite, and go all in on him. You can see if he is maxing W based on the damage he deals with the other abilities or on his W healing alone.
Jayce
Pretty annoying matchup. If he doen´t knock you back right away you can still have a chance.
Quinn
Take "Press the attack" or "eletrocute" as key stones. Be aware that she can cancel your W with her E.
Armor boots has first item is a good option.
Yasuo
He can poke and farm with his Q.
Take his passive shield off with a basic attack or a Q(not empowered).
If he does not have his shield you can combo him. Press the attack is an excellent rune against him.
Akali
Skill matchup.
Avoid fighting her in her W(shroud).
Yone
A lot of poke with his Q.
He will always blink behind you if he he hits his ultimate on you.
Tahm Kench
At least right now most champions cant quite fight tahm kench if he has a bit of bonus health from items,one of them is Pantheon.
He can destroy you if you get too close of his turret,he can slow you with his Q and ult you under tower.
Rengar
Hard lane since he can ignore your W with his.
Try not to fight near brushes.
Jax
You can easily block his combo with your E if you have more or less the same movement speed.
Armor boots are a great choice against him.
Renekton
You can easily win the lane by blocking his basic combo(E-W-AUTO-Q) with your E. Go in with the empowered W to stack conqueror faster since he takes a lot to bring down starting at level 6.
Kayle
You can easily win of her. Care for her level 6,she will start poking you a lot.
Watch out to see if she has mana for her ult, if she doesnt, you can easily burst her out.
Gwen
You can easily fight her, still avoid fighting her on her W or level 1.
If she is going "riftmaker" antiheal will be very usefull.
Vladimir
You can easily win of Vladimir if you have antiheal. Watch if his second bar is red, if so, stay far from him so he doesn´t deal a good chunk of damage and do not heal so much(if he uses his third Q on a minion).
Teemo
Annoying rat. If he doesn´t blind you while using empowered W its alright, you can also save 3 or 4 stacks of the passive and do the following combo: W-AUTO-Q or W-Q-AUTO(based on the number of stacks[3-4] respectively).
Ornn
If you block his W damage he is a piece of cake to take on. Black cleaver first buy is nice.
Udyr
Both choose to be in thick of battle,each can easily stun a target and burst it.
Galio
Their ultimates are really strong together especially if you ult first. Both have hard cc and burst damage.
Leona
Amazing synergy since the two thrive at diving.
Rakan
Rakan goes well with any champion and Pantheon is no exception.
Taric
Both stay up close fighting and with Pantheon´s damage plus Taric´s sustain they can make an actual two man army.
Orianna
If Pantheons goes in with Orianna´s ball to the middle of the enemies they can turn a team fight easily,similar to Malphite/Orianna synergy.
Sejuani
With empowered W you can chain CC an enemy for around 2 seconds since you basic attack thrice and her E needs 4 autos from her( W also applies stacks[up to 2]) or allied melee champions.
