In the game LoL (League of Legends), the characters are very different in the mechanics of the game and the roles that are available to them. Despite the fact that they have very specific roles, it is possible to assemble weapons and skills for champions in different ways. For example, today we will consider the hero "Pantheon". The guide will include game tactics both on the top line and in the forest.
Skills
Without an understanding of the mechanics of skills, there will be no adequate game. Based on some of the capabilities of the Pantheon, we can say that it is an ideal “tank” and should simply swing on the line in the initial stage of the game. But thanks to his third skill, he becomes a good help with the enemy gank.
- Aegis Defense Passive skill that allows you to block a physical attack that does over 40 damage. It only works if 4 attacks were completed before or as many skills were used. Very "tasty" skill, especially in the later stages of the game. If the hero increases the attack speed, then the opponents simply will not be able to break it.
- Q - "Throw a spear." Quickly recharges and requires little mana. For enemies with health less than 15% deals 150% more damage.
- W - The Aegis of Zeonia. The Pantheon jumps on the enemy and stuns him with a shield for 1 second. It is thanks to this skill that the option of swinging through the forest farm appears. It is ideal for a surprise attack on an enemy from the bushes. In addition, the skill instantly charges the passive, so that an attack under the enemy’s tower becomes much more effective.
- E - "Get to the heart." The hero deals a series of punches in a small area in front of him. A passive bonus also appears. If the enemy has less than 15% health, the Pantheon always inflicts critical damage on him.
- R - The Great Fall. The champion jumps to the specified area, deals damage to all surrounding opponents and slows them down for one second.
As you can see, the developers have created a very effective hero who is able not only to defend his line qualitatively, but also very comfortable to raid other people. But there are always downsides. In League of Legends, heroes can often kill opponents on their own, but this is not the case with the Pantheon. Even if he jumps and stuns the enemy, he will not have time to inflict enough damage, since there is not much slowdown and control.
Leveling
At first glance, the Pantheon, the guide you are reading on, may seem like a simple character with light mechanics. However, with the wrong sequence of taking skills, you can very strongly sink in gold and experience.
First and foremost, always swing the “Throw Spear”. This is your main skill, which at the beginning of the game will do just huge damage. It is very convenient for them to finish off fleeing opponents, and if you are squeezed under the tower, then minions.
"The Aegis of Zeonia" is enough to take once at the second level. Its damage depends on magical power, which the Pantheon practically does not have. So the only plus from it will remain only the stunning effect.
Get to the Heart is the second most important skill. It is taken immediately after the spear, when possible. This is your main mass attack. It is very effective in battles in the forest and narrow aisles.
The ultimate Great Fall ability is taken as soon as it appears on levels 6.11 and 16.
Spells and Runes
In League of Legends, the guides are usually divided by the role of the player in the match. However, for the Pantheon, preparation for battle will look the same, wherever you are going to go, on a line or into the forest.
Let's start with the runes. The hero uses physical melee attacks and must always be in the center of the batch. To increase effectiveness, take an increase in physical attack, as well as an increase in magical and physical defense.
Of the spells, be sure to take the "jump." The Pantheon is a very vulnerable character because it lacks its own skills for a quick retreat. For this you will need the help of magic. The second spell is a little trickier:
- for a forester it is better to use "Kara". It will allow you to instantly kill neutral monsters;
- for “liner” take “Ignition” or “Exhaustion”. The first will help finish off the fleeing enemy, the second will protect you from fast heroes attacking with auto-attacks.
Talents
It may seem that interfering under the feet of opponents is all that the Pantheon is capable of. Guide on it will prove the opposite. To increase the effectiveness of the hero, use only the attack and defense branches.
Be sure to take the "Witchcraft". It will increase the damage of your skills, and for the Pantheon this is the most important. Then you can use the "Manifestation of weakness." Due to the ult, the Pantheon deals damage over a large area, which will debuff the entire enemy team at once. Congenital Talent will further increase the damage of your skills, while Vampirism in 2% will have little effect. In conclusion, take the “Persecutor” talent.
In the protection branch, everything is a little more complicated. Start with the Wanderer. It will be useful both on ganks and for running to the store. In the second line, look at the situation. “Assassin” is inconvenient due to the fact that the Pantheon is not capable of much in the solo game, improvement of elixirs will not help much, but “Runic resemblance” will support if you choose the role of forester. The third line is similar. Ruthless will increase damage to enemies with less than 40% health, which together with the third skill is effective for finishing. And "Meditation" will help in the restoration of mana, which will be lacking due to the constant use of skills.
Then everything is simpler. Feel free to take the talents "Dangerous Game", "Accuracy" and "Order of the Thunder Lord", you will not lose.
Arms of the forester
Our guide to the Pantheon (season 6) includes two components at once: lining and forest. We begin with a rarer version, when this champion gives himself completely to the Ganks.
Starting purchase will be quite usual, as well as for any other forester. You can safely take the "Talisman of the hunter", a bank for the restoration of health and ward. Do not rush to put it. First take level 2-3, this will increase its duration.
By the end of the match, the forester should collect from the "Talisman" "Blade of the pursuer (Warrior)." From accelerating boots, it would be better to take the “Sandals of Mobility”. The rest can be collected at your discretion. We recommend Guardian Angel, Maw of Malmortius, The Black Cleaver, and Dead Man's Armor.
Armament liner
There are a huge number of options for the initial purchase, which provides us with the League of Legends. The guide to the Pantheon, which we present to you, includes only two final assemblies, which we should strive for.
Be sure to take the ward. The Pantheon is very vulnerable to ganks, so an extra review will not hurt. Further there are options. You can take the Malicious Potion. It will allow you not only to restore the supply of health and mana, but also protect against enemy attacks. If you have a character with a strong physical attack on the line, you can take “Cloth Armor” (it is used in many recipes).
By the end of the match, you should have approximately the following set of artifacts: "Mercury's Treads", "Sunfire Cape", "Maw of Malmortius", "The Black Cleaver", "The Test of Sterak" and "The Ghostblade". An excellent initiator of the battle will come out of you.
But that’s not all the Pantheon is capable of. A guide will also help assemble a good killer. To do this, you need things to crit and attack speed: Statikk Sharpening, Infinity Edge, The Bloodthirster, Berserker's Greaves, Spirit Visage, and Sunfire Cape. Yes, it is expensive, but it will make it possible to assemble a real death machine from the Pantheon.
Pros and cons
It's time to take stock. Since in League of Legends, guides usually talk about the basics, a lot depends on the player himself and his knowledge of all sides of a character. When playing for the Pantheon, always remember the following:
- You do not have good skills to escape from the enemy;
- the main damage you do is with skills, and not "from the hand";
- due to improper procurement in the late game, the hero may become useless;
- the hero requires tremendous experience, especially as a forester.
At the same time, you will always have an advantage over the enemy. The main thing is to use strengths correctly:
- passive skill blocking damage;
- A “spear throw” will push the enemy on the line;
- ult, which will quickly move to the center of the "batch";
- high damage from skills;
- universality.
Of course, not only the Pantheon is capable of all this. Guide (LoL) is designed to ensure that the player, once he has seen these lists, will draw up an individual concept for the battle.
