Guide to Countering Garen as Pantheon

Tips for Playing as Pantheon against Garen

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.

Be careful about attacking Garen in brush. It often will lead to taking full damage from Judgment.

Stack armor items to lower the large amount of physical damage that Garen deals out.

Judgment deals maximum damage when only hitting a single target. If getting out of its radius isn't possible, move through allied minions to reduce damage taken.

Try to run away from Garen as your health gets lower, as he can execute you quickly with Demacian Justice.
