Pantheon Jungle Counter Guide

Pantheon excels as an early-game jungler with strong ganking potential and burst damage. Here's how to effectively counter him:

Early Game Strategy

• Avoid solo encounters with Pantheon early game
• Place deep vision in his jungle to track movements
• Ward river and jungle entrances to prevent successful ganks
• Be cautious of level 2-3 ganks, as this is when he's most dangerous

Post-Level 6 Counterplay

• Place deeper vision to spot his ultimate ganks
• Watch for Flash + W (Shield Vault) engages
• Ward side lanes to prevent flank attempts
• Coordinate with team when his ultimate is on cooldown

Strong Counters:

• Gwen (Can avoid his burst with W)
• Rek'Sai (Strong duelist who can track his movements)
• Volibear (Tanky with sustained damage)
• Darius (Outscales and wins extended fights)

Power Spike Windows:

1. Level 3: First gank potential
2. Level 6: Global pressure with ultimate
3. Completed jungle item: Increased kill pressure

Team Fight Tips

• Don't position too far forward
• Track his ultimate cooldown
• Force objectives when he's split pushing
• Engage when his W (Shield Vault) is on cooldown

Late Game

• Pantheon falls off late game
• Focus on scaling and farm
• Group for objectives
• Coordinate with team to minimize his early impact

Best Times to Fight:

• When his ultimate is on cooldown
• During split push attempts
• After he uses key abilities
• When you have number advantage
