The Pantheon versus Xerath matchup as support is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
Except for rare builds, Pantheon deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Meanwhile, Xerath deals primarily magic damage (93.64%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Pantheon is superior vision control (ranked 9th among supports) (versus 45th for Xerath), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.6 versus 2.0) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Pantheon player to maintain constant pressure on Xerath, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
