How to Beat Pantheon as Soraka (Support)

The Soraka versus Pantheon matchup as support is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

The magic damage that Soraka deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Pantheon deals mainly physical damage (89.27%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Consider the excellent vision control demonstrated by Pantheon, ranking 17th (versus 27th for Soraka) in ward placement among supports. This means the opponent provides better map vision for their team. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.0 versus 2.9) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Soraka Support versus Pantheon Support matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Soraka 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.

Soraka tips:

  • Soraka is a powerful ally in battle, using her strong healing to keep the party moving forward.
  • You can use Wish on your allies from across the map to save them from otherwise fatal events.
  • Equinox can be used as a powerful zoning tool to keep enemies at bay.

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.
