How to Beat Pantheon as Blitzcrank (Support)

While statistically Blitzcrank is slightly stronger than Pantheon as support, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

Blitzcrank deals mixed damage - the opponent has fewer options for defense. Pantheon deals mainly physical damage (89.27%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Blitzcrank is superior vision control (ranked 14th among supports) (versus 17th for Pantheon), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.0 versus 2.4) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Blitzcrank Support versus Pantheon Support matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Blitzcrank player to maintain constant pressure on Pantheon, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Blitzcrank tips:

  • The 1-2-3 combo of Rocket Grab, Power Fist, and Static Field can devastate an individual opponent.
  • Using Blitzcrank's grab to pull an enemy into your tower range followed by a Power Fist will allow the tower to get several hits on them.

Playing Against Pantheon

  • Pantheon's Aegis Assault makes him invulnerable from the front. Get behind him or wait it out.
  • Be careful near Pantheon if your health is low - a thrown Comet Spear executes low health enemies.
  • Grand Starfall gives several seconds of warning before Pantheon arrives. Use this time to get out of the way or to form a plan to deal with him.
