Pantheon Wild Rift Best Build Guide

Vertical-pressure skirmisher build: Pantheon wins when he punishes the smallest misstep before the game reaches its most uncomfortable front-to-back for him. The build must therefore support his violent access, his map timings, and enough durability that his engages are not all one-way.
