Warwick vs Pantheon

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Warwick should pressure Pantheon early to deny his empowered trades and prevent lane control.
Focus on sustaining through extended melee fights using (Q) healing and (E) fear to absorb burst.
This is a snowball matchup where Warwick aims to outlast Pantheon and punish his cooldowns before level 6.

Trading pattern

Engage in melee range trades, holding (E) to fear Pantheon when he commits with (W) or empowered (Q).
Use (Q) to follow Pantheon's dashes and sustain through his burst damage.
Punish Pantheon after he wastes (W) or (E) by extending trades and using (R) to suppress and lock him down.

Danger windows

Pantheon is most dangerous when his (W) stun and empowered (Q) are available; avoid trading during this window.
Be cautious when (E) is down, as Pantheon's burst can punish trades more effectively.
After Pantheon reaches level 6, respect his roam threat and hard push waves to punish his absence.

Early game

Take advantage of Warwick's level 3 power spike to force extended trades where (E) can absorb Pantheon's burst.
Avoid fighting when (W) stun and empowered (Q) are available to prevent getting locked down.
Use (W) to track Pantheon's low health and chase down after trades to secure kills or summoner spells.

Power spikes

Warwick's level 3 unlocks full sustain and fear, enabling strong extended trades; use this to pressure Pantheon.
Warwick's level 6 (R) allows long-range suppression and pick potential; use it after baiting Pantheon’s movement.
Respect Pantheon's level 2-3 empowered (Q), (W), and (E) burst window; avoid fights when these are ready.

Win conditions

Win by out-sustaining Pantheon in extended melee trades using (Q) healing and (E) fear to absorb burst.
Use (W) to track and chase low-health Pantheon targets after trades to secure kills or force summoners.
Leverage level 6 (R) to pick Pantheon off or force favorable all-ins, denying his early lane dominance and snowball potential.
