Standard trade combo

2 AA

4 AA

6 AA

Stack the Mortal Will passive via auto-attacks and skills, then trigger the empowered Comet Spear for maximum burst damage

Poke lane combo

2 AA

4 AA

6 AA

Use the cooldown refund from ability 1 (60% on tap cast) to spam poke from range

All-in combo

5 AA

Stack Mortal Will on minions first, then use Shield Vault for the guaranteed 3 auto-attacks, and finish with abilities 1 and 3

Mechanical Tips

Mortal Will (passive): every 5 attacks or abilities, the next basic ability is enhanced — keep track of the stacks (visual indicator beneath the champion) to trigger the bonus at the right moment
Comet Spear: tap vs hold: tap cast = small, fast projectile with 60% cooldown refund for spamming; hold cast = throws the spear for the full duration for maximum damage — use tap for poke, hold for burst
Shield Vault (2) empowered: if Mortal Will is active on Shield Vault, it stuns instead of simply interrupting — wait for the 5th stack to maximise the CC
Aegis Assault (3): blocks ALL non-turret damage from the direction of the shield for the duration — face the most dangerous enemy to block their burst damage
Grand Starfall (Ult): global deployment; land in the centre of a lane to roam and create a 2v1 — do not use in a predictable manner

Common Mistakes

Grand Starfall is too predictable: experienced enemies spot the ultimate’s animation and flee — vary the landing angles and timings, or combine it with Flash, saving Flash for the landing
Neglecting Aegis Assault: using Ability 3 purely defensively limits its potential — activated whilst attacking, it allows you to tank enemy burst damage whilst continuing to deal DPS
Pantheon in the late game: Pantheon loses damage output in the late game — avoid finding yourself alone in 1v1 situations — group up with the team to maximise the utility of the stun and global roaming

Notable Interactions

Use Comet Spear’s tap cast to harass on walls or in the jungle to reduce the cooldown to ~2s with the refund
Use Shield Vault (2) on an empowered minion or monster → free stun upon landing on the enemy champion (Mortal Will stacks are applied to minions)
Grand Starfall can be combined with Flash whilst landing for a surprise last-second reposition
