Hi yall, i want to ask all of you which build do you think is the best for top(mid) and jungle pantheon? After all of these changes i have no clue what to rush and which item will give me the highest powerspike! Currently my build looks something like item 3071 item 3742 item 3102 item 3812 or item 3748 or item 3033 i dont any have problems in the laning phase, but i feel that only with item 3071 and def items i am not doing alot later in the game and this is the main reason why i am making this topic. will be great if somebody explain me how to build pantheon properly! Thanks in advance!

I haven't played Pantheon much recently (which means I can't say I main him anymore...this is saddening) but I feel you're building too many offensive items. You won't have problems in the laning phase with item 3071, but unless your team needs you to split push, I wouldn't recommend item 3748.

I can't give general build advice, counterbuild advice on the otherhand I am fine with giving. IF the enemy team has a lot of magic damage, rush item 3156. This and item 3139 are the only MR items that give attack damage, and the armor pen works well.

If they have a lot of attack speed champions (like LeeSin Jax Yasuo and most ADC that are not Graves) I'd recommend item 3110 for attack speed slows, CDR, and that sweet mana bonus (because we all know Pantheon is mana hungry).

Personally I like adding item 3508 for the mana or item 3078 just for the stats that it can give.

I'm pretty much a noob, but I'd say...

item 2031 to start to help his sustain and mana problems.

Then you can go item 2033 if you want to be a big lane bully.

Otherwise, start working on item 3071 for your harass and all-in.

After that, you can either go item 3742 or work on your boots. I like item 3158 on caster assassins.

If you feel like you're having too much problem with spells or CC, you can build item 3102 but I'd recommend item 3036 or item 3033 depending on your opponents.

item 3508 Would also be good at some point, either early or mid in order to sustain yourself and also to cash in on your spear giving you 3% of your mana back when you spear a minion or player under 15% health.

It might be a little niche, but you can also build an item 3031 to once again, cash in on your spear passive.

If you're against a lot of AP burst, I would recommend swapping out item 3742 for item 3053 and item 3508 for item 3156 .

item 3812 Is a good alternative to item 3508 if you aren't having a lot of mana problems.

And, as always, if you're so far ahead that you don't think you can be stopped, a good item 3026 will, if not keep you alive, then at least demoralize your enemies.

That's just my 2 cents.

When I play him I always go Arpen.

item 3142 item 3071

Then I get tanky. My most recent game against Mundo where I absolutely destroyed him and then destroyed the rest of the map:

All other lanes were losing, I brought them back from the brink.
