How to play it
When you are in danger
- Full HP or back off
Pantheon's burst kills from half HP. No trades under 60%, and buy Banshee's Veil early.
- Save your dash for CC
Don't dash in — keep it to escape Pantheon's crowd control.

How to beat Pantheon
- Buy armor items like Plated Steelcaps or Thornmail
- Pick up a spell shield like Banshee's Veil to block his burst
- Don't sit low HP in his range — he can one-shot you
- Use hard CC before he can dash / blink
How to play as Katarina
- E (Shunpo) to dagger to enter fight — resets cooldown on kill/assist
- R (Death Lotus) after partial kill setup — passive resets snowball
- Build Hextech Rocketbelt + Nashor's Tooth + Riftmaker
