Pantheon vs Aurelion Sol

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Pantheon is an early lane bully who must pressure Aurelion Sol to deny his scaling and roaming potential.
Use Pantheon's high early lane pressure and point-and-click stun to force short trades and prevent Aurelion Sol from farming safely.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by stunning with (W), then use empowered (Q) for burst and block his main return damage with (E).
Punish Aurelion Sol when he misses (Q) or (W) as these are his main damage tools and he struggles to trade without them.
Avoid extended trades once (E) is down, as Aurelion Sol can retaliate with poke and waveclear.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) is down, as Aurelion Sol can poke and trade more effectively.
Avoid predictable engages immediately after using (W) since Pantheon's engage is telegraphed.
Ping and punish Aurelion Sol's roams by hard pushing waves and taking plates when he leaves lane.

Early game

Aggressively trade at level 2-3 using empowered (Q), (W), and (E) to build a health lead and control the wave.
Avoid using (W) into bad wave states where Aurelion Sol can safely retaliate or disengage.
Crash waves before level 6 to create roam opportunities and deny Aurelion Sol free farm.

Power spikes

Level 2-3: Use empowered (Q), (W), and (E) to force lane dominance and build early advantages.
Level 6: Use (R) to impact other lanes after crashing waves, increasing map pressure.
Respect Aurelion Sol's late-game power spike after 75+ Stardust stacks and Rylai's completion by pressuring early to prevent him reaching this state.

Win conditions

Use empowered trades and (W) stun to create lane control and snowball an early health lead.
Crash waves and roam with (R) to extend pressure and deny Aurelion Sol safe scaling.
Maintain lane dominance to prevent Aurelion Sol from reaching his mid-late game power spikes and roaming effectively.
