21 in Offense stacking attack damage and armor penetration — Deadliness, Weapon Expertise, Brute Force and Sunder are the four the guide names. It leaves the last 9 to Defense or Utility; they are in Defense here.

  • Spear Shot (Q) takes points at levels 1, 4, 5, 7, 9.
  • Aegis of Zeonia (W) takes points at levels 3, 14, 15, 17, 18.
  • Heartseeker Strike (E) takes points at levels 2, 8, 10, 12, 13.
  • Grand Skyfall (R) takes points at levels 6, 11, 16.

The guide names no skill order. This is the standard Q max its own advice implies — poke with Spear Shot — and not something it states.

Notes

the author's own words

Classic Pantheon

Poke throughout the lane, then all-in to finish the job. He is strongest earlier, so build a lead with oppressive play — Pantheon Q — Spear Shot poke and tower dives off the passive and Pantheon R — Grand Skyfall — and use it to close the game before the fall-off.

The guide names three legendary items and no boots, no sixth slot, no skill order and no summoner spells. Those are left empty here rather than filled in.
