Electrocute is the ideal Keystone for Pantheon, allowing you to trade well in lane and blowup carries later. Sudden Impact procs instantly off your W, and gives free lethality. Eyeball Collection helps you snowball your lead by giving raw stats. Ravenous Hunter will heal you some in late-game teamfights. Can be swapped for Relentless Hunter if you will need to roam a lot to other lanes. Triumph will give you sustain in teamfights or let you survive Ignite. Coup de Grace helps you finish off low health enemies. Can be swapped for Cut Down if you need to.

Aftershock should be taken only if you are facing a hard lane matchup or if you need to scale as an engage offtank for your team mid-lategame. Demolish can help you take down Turret Plating for extra early game gold. Bone Plating lets you absorb poke in lane, giving a bit more survivability. Overgrowth makes you more beefy lategame, and scales with your health items. Absolute Focus helps your poke stick in lane and scales decently lategame. Gathering Storm is the ultimate scaling rune, and gives you free AD as the game goes on.

Summon Aery can also be taken in some Matchups. These are detailed in the "Matchups" section of this guide. Generally this Keystone is only effective against opponents with no sustain.


Bonus stats can be changed according to matchups: armor for an AD toplane, MR for an AP toplane, HP for a poke toplane etc... Take 2 Adaptive Force and 1 HP if you are looking to maximize early pressure.


See the "Matchups" section for more specific information on runes for Pantheon's common opponents in the toplane. Expect this section to evolve over the pre-season, as Riot will definitely be tweaking certain runes & Keystones over the next month or so.
