Comet Spear

Tap: Pantheon thrusts his spear, dealing 70 / 100 / 130 / 160 / 190 (+1.15 per bonus attack damage) physical damage to enemies hit and refunding 50% of Comet Spear's cooldown.

Hold: Pantheon hurls his spear, extending its range to 1000 units while dealing 70 / 100 / 130 / 160 / 190 (+50% of ability power) (+1.15 per bonus attack damage) physical damage to the first enemy hit and 50% less to further targets.

Comet Spear's damage is increased to 155 / 230 / 305 / 380 / 455 (+100% of ability power) (+2.3 per bonus attack damage) against enemies below 20% of their maximum health regardless of whether Pantheon thrusts or hurls his spear, but deals 30% less damage to minions. Monsters take 5% bonus damage.

Mortal Will Bonus: Comet Spear deals an additional 20-240 (+1.15 per attack damage) physical damage (depending on level) affected by the previous damage reductions, to all enemies hit. Consumes the stacks upon recasting. Q

Shield Vault

Pantheon leaps on his target, dealing 6 / 6.5 / 7 / 7.5 / 8% of target's maximum health (+1.5% per 100 ability power) (+0.4% per 100 of Pantheon's bonus health) physical damage and stunning them for 1 second.

Mortal Will Bonus: Pantheon's next attack strikes 3 times, dealing 40-55% damage each for a total of 120-165% physical damage (depending on level). W

Aegis Assault

Pantheon braces his shield and engages enemies in a chosen direction for 1.5 seconds, becoming immune to non-tower damage from that direction and dealing 100% physical damage over the duration.

After channeling Pantheon slams with his shield, dealing 55 / 105 / 155 / 205 / 255 (+1.5 per attack damage) physical damage.

Grand Starfall

Passive: Pantheon gains 10 / 20 / 30% armor penetration.

Active: Pantheon gathers his strength to leap high into the air. He throws his spear from above which in a small area deals 40−190 (+50% of ability power) (+1.15 per attack damage) physical damage and slows by 50% for 2 seconds. Pantheon then crashes down as a meteor at the target area. Deals up to 300 / 500 / 700 (+100% of ability power) magic damage to enemies in a line (decreased by up to 50% at the edges of the area). This ability instantly readies Mortal Will. R

Pantheon Tips and Tricks

Take note that your kill pressure doesn’t have too much of an impact in lane. Once both you and the enemy Mid laner hit level 6, expect them to have more kill pressure than you. When laning against a ranged champion, avoid letting them poke you down. If you get poked too much, you'll fall behind in CS and may have to recall, which will put you behind in both CS and XP. If you can’t secure a kill in lane, don’t hesitate to roam with your R. Roaming and helping your allies is a great way to get ahead in the game. Before roaming, push the minion wave into the enemy tower so they can’t follow you immediately.
