•Preload Mortal Will before you show: walk into fights on four stacks and decide in advance whether empowered W is feeding an empowered Q kill or an empowered E cover, because Pantheon’s support engages are much cleaner when the second empowered cast is scripted before contact
•After W, turn E toward the clapback—the support’s return CC, the jungler’s angle, or tower shots—not automatically toward the champion you stunned, because Pantheon wins a lot of all-ins by shielding the answer instead of the victim
•Leave bot once it stops offering a believable W: Pantheon support gets paid unusually hard when his first forced contact becomes an off-lane or river/jungle kill, and recent data says he gains more than any common support from both early gold leads and that early map conversion
