As Teamfight Tactics (TFT) continues to evolve with Set 8.5, fans are buzzing about the arrival of new champions, classes, and origins. Among the most exciting new additions is Pantheon, a powerful and dynamic champion who is sure to change the game. With the upcoming release of Set 8.5 in March 2023, we’re diving deep into the Pantheon stats and spells to give you the lowdown on how to maximize his potential in your comp.
Pantheon’s Stats: The Basics
Before we get into the fun stuff (his spell and strategy), let’s take a look at Pantheon’s core stats:
- HP: 650
- Attack Damage (AD): 50
- Attack Speed (AS): 0.60
- Armor: 40
- Magic Resist (MR): 40
- Mana: 40/70
- Range: 1
At first glance, Pantheon seems like a sturdy front-liner with solid survivability stats. His high HP and good armor make him a durable champion who can withstand some heavy damage. With 40 MR, Pantheon is capable of resisting magical attacks, further enhancing his ability to stay in the fight.
However, what truly sets Pantheon apart is his spell, which can drastically impact the outcome of a match. Let’s break it down.
Pantheon’s Spell: A Game-Changer in the Arena
Pantheon’s ability in TFT Set 8.5 is sure to make him a formidable presence in your team. Here’s how it works:
Pantheon’s Leap and Impact: Pantheon leaps onto his target, inflicting 180 magic damage. But it doesn’t stop there. The magic damage is scaled with the target’s Magic Resist (MR), making him even more effective against tanky enemies with high MR. At his highest level, Pantheon’s damage reaches an impressive 675% MR.
Stun and Shield: After landing his devastating blow, Pantheon stuns his target for 1.5 seconds, disrupting their ability to deal damage or cast spells. This crowd control effect can turn the tide of a battle, especially against high-priority enemies like damage dealers or key supports.
To add insult to injury, Pantheon gains a shield (180/200/220) for 4 seconds. This makes him incredibly hard to take down, even as he is dealing damage and stunning his target. Whether used to absorb incoming hits or to give him an extra window to eliminate an enemy, his shield adds significant durability to his kit.
Strategizing with Pantheon in TFT Set 8.5
Now that we know what Pantheon brings to the table, let’s talk about how to use him effectively in your comp.
InfiniTeam / Support Class: Pantheon fits into the InfiniTeam and Support traits, giving him synergy with specific units that can further enhance his tankiness or provide additional crowd control. The InfiniTeam trait boosts champions that benefit from surviving long into the battle, and Pantheon’s stun and shield make him the perfect candidate for this synergy.
Positioning Is Key: With a range of 1, Pantheon will always be on the front lines, so positioning is crucial. Place him near the enemy's most dangerous units, such as enemy carries or key supports, so he can leap in, disrupt their plans, and buy time for your other units to clean up.
Tanking and Disrupting: Pantheon’s shield makes him an exceptional tank. His stun allows him to disable enemy carries, giving your team the opportunity to deal damage without interference. He thrives in prolonged engagements, where his high durability and crowd control can really shine.
Pantheon’s Potential in TFT Set 8.5
Pantheon is more than just a tank—he’s a versatile disruptor who can turn the tide of a battle. His ability to leap into the fray, deal significant magic damage, and stun key targets, while shielding himself from damage, makes him a force to be reckoned with in TFT Set 8.5.
As you prepare for the launch of Set 8.5, it’s clear that Pantheon will be a champion you’ll want to have in your roster. Whether you need a reliable frontliner or a champion who can disarm enemy carries, Pantheon’s toolkit offers plenty of potential for various team comps.
