Help with pantheon build

TheFallenShaw··1 votes·913 views

So I'm trying to make a generalized build for pantheon focused around bust and shield for hard engages. I'm just not sure what the last item should be so far its item 3147 item 3814 item 3078 item 3158 item 3102, I'm just not sure what to take to round it out. I'm already looking at 30% cdr item 3153 item 3742 item 3812 item 3156 item 3053 were items I was looking at for it but I'm not quite sure.

Thats one of my smurfs that I started spamming Panth on.

Triforce is not for burst and shouldn't be used typically. Black cleaver would be much better, it gives you tankyness while also giving armor shred off your E, so it's extremely solid. CDR boots are bad, your cooldowns are short enough and the tanyness allows you to last long enough to do work. Never build BOTRK, but the other items are alright.

Trinity force isn't good for bursting with panth and he scales really poorly with attack speed so botrk isn't that great.

Generally you want item 3142/item 3814 item 3071 item 3047 item 3026 for burst and hard engages.

For purely bursting squishies take item 3142 item 3074 item 3814 item 3147 item 3047 but this leaves you really squishy and you don't get to shred resistances on a tank.

I dont see how item 3071 helps with bursting. Bc you have to AA to even stack it once. With low AS isnt the item kinda not revalent? As for Tri Force, it was the spell blade, hp, mana, cdr, + ad and as i was looking at when thinking it might make a better alternate for Black cleaver. Also partly why I was considering item 3053 bc it would tech buff spell blade's damage since it gives +25% base (+50% on lifeline) ad plus a shield.

His E procs a stack of BC every time it goes off, so like 3 stacks per E. If they don't die on the initial burst of Q, W, E then they'll die with the next Q since you just shredded whatever armor they had left with E. Again, don't buy Triforce, no good Pantheon buys Triforce.

Triforce + Sterak is useless on Pantheon, since he scales with Bonus AD, and these two items only grant 25 Bonus AD total. Instead you could be buying items that grant 150 Bonus AD. The Sheen proc isn't enough to justify you buying these items.

Black Cleaver stacks with physical damage dealt.

That includes each separate tick of Pantheon's E and his Q.

As Pantheon you are going to be jumping right on top of your opponent throwing your Q, your W, and your E with very little basic attacking except when all your cooldowns are out. In team fights, you're basically going to die if your burst takes much longer and you really won't be able to weave autos in between spells. He only gets 25 bonus AD as well.

Black Cleaver shreds armour on every instance of physical damage, thus your Q, your E and your W all apply it.

Thanks guys I see what your saying, and you've taught me stuff about an item item 3071 that I thought I already fully understood. For some reason I thought it only proc'ed its shred off Autoattacks. Wonder if it procs off Garens spin too... Everyone says pantheon falls off late game, I was just trying to figure out something to keep him in the good fight.
