Guide to Countering Zed as Pantheon

Tips for Playing as Pantheon against Zed

Mortal Will activates after 5 spells or basic attacks - plan your way through fights to allow you to activate it more than once.

Whittle the enemy down with Comet Spears before you jump in.

If an enemy is going to get out of range of your Aegis Assault, you can recast the spell to immediately fire the shield slam.

Advice to Win Against Zed

Zed's Shadow Slash can only slow you if his shadow hits you with it.

Zed receives bonus effect from Attack Damage items he purchases, so Armor is super effective against him.

After Zed uses his Living Shadow, he is at his most vulnerable as his damage, slow, and mobility are both dependent upon it.
