Pantheon vs Heimerdinger

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use Pantheon's early lane bully tools to pressure Heimerdinger and deny his turret setup and calm scaling.
Prioritize aggressive trades to prevent Heimerdinger from establishing turret zones and controlling the wave.
This is a snowball vs control matchup where Pantheon must leverage early burst and roam to avoid Heimerdinger's mid-game zoning.

Trading pattern

Engage trades with (W) stun followed by empowered (Q) burst, then use (E) to block Heimerdinger's main retaliatory damage.
Punish Heimerdinger when his (E) stun is down by extending trades or forcing turret destruction.
Avoid trading inside established turret zones; instead, clear turrets quickly and trade afterward.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) is down, as Heimerdinger can punish your trades with turret damage and (E) stun.
Avoid engaging when multiple turrets are active and (R) upgrade is ready, as his zone control and burst are at peak.
Watch for ganks when you push hard to clear turrets, since Heimerdinger's low mobility makes you vulnerable if overextended.

Early game

At levels 2-3, use empowered (Q), (W), and (E) to force short trades before Heimerdinger can fully set turrets.
Avoid prolonged fights inside turret zones; instead, crash waves quickly to reset or roam.
Maintain wave control to prevent Heimerdinger from safely placing turrets and zoning you out.

Power spikes

Level 2-3 is Pantheon's strongest window with empowered (Q), (W), and (E); use this to build a health lead and wave control.
Respect Heimerdinger's level 6 (R) upgrade which enhances his zone control or burst; avoid fighting near turrets after this spike.
After Pantheon's level 6 (R), crash waves hard before roaming to maximize map pressure and deny Heimerdinger lane control.

Win conditions

Snowball early by landing (W) stun and empowered (Q) trades to deny Heimerdinger turret setups and wave control.
Use level 6 (R) to roam after crashing waves, creating pressure on other lanes and preventing Heimerdinger from scaling.
Keep turret zones cleared and force Heimerdinger to fight without his main zoning tools, then all-in with your burst and stun combo.
