Yone vs Pantheon

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Yone must manage Pantheon's early lane pressure by avoiding extended trades before level 3 and scaling into a strong mid-game skirmisher.
Prioritize denying Pantheon the empowered trades and avoid giving him easy (W) stun setups to prevent snowballing.

Trading pattern

Use (E) + (Q) combo to force trades with a planned exit, avoiding prolonged fights where Pantheon can stun and burst.
Punish Pantheon immediately after he uses (W) or (E) to block damage, as his engage becomes predictable and weaker.
Stack (Q) to set up knockups and disengage with (E) to avoid Pantheon's retaliations, especially respecting his empowered (Q) windows.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Pantheon's passive is stacked and (W) stun is available, as spacing errors can lead to quick burst trades.
Avoid extended trades when (E) damage block is up, as it negates your main damage return.
After level 6, expect Pantheon to roam with (R); hard push wave and punish his absence to gain lane advantage.

Early game

Avoid early all-ins before level 3 when Pantheon has strong empowered trades and (W) stun ready.
Use cautious spacing to bait out (W) and punish once it's on cooldown.
Focus on farming safely and preparing for the level 3 (Q)-(W)-(E) combo to start trading effectively.

Power spikes

Respect Pantheon's level 2-3 empowered (Q), (W), and (E) burst trades by avoiding risky trades before Yone's level 3 combo unlock.
Use Yone's level 3 unlock of (Q)-(W)-(E) combo to trade aggressively when cooldowns and minion waves align.
After first attack-speed item, increase pressure on Pantheon, forcing him to respect your improved damage and wave control.

Win conditions

Use (E) + (Q) combo to force trades and snowball early, denying Pantheon safe empowered trades and scaling opportunities.
Punish Pantheon’s predictable engage after (W) or (E) cooldowns to secure lane control.
Reach mid-game with first attack-speed item and leverage side-lane pressure and teamfight engage to outscale Pantheon’s early burst threat.
