LEAGUE CLASSIC CHAMPION GUIDE

Pantheon League Classic Build, Spear & Item Order

Fighter · Assassin

Convert early Spear Shot pressure into armor penetration, then decide whether the first dive needs more damage or survival.

QUICK ANSWER

Take the burst branch when one rotation can create a kill; take the durable branch when Pantheon must survive after landing on the first target.

BuildsAbilitiesItem order

Overview

Pantheon must convert early pressure before opponents finish defensive cores. His purchase order should preserve immediate threat without making the first dive suicidal.

Build logic

Choose the route that solves the current game.

  • Prepare Aegis Protection before a tower dive.
  • Do not channel Heartseeker into a target already leaving the cone.
  • Grand Skyfall value comes from the fight it creates, not only center damage.
