Pantheon camp-clearing speed in preseason 2021 should not be underestimated.
In patch 10.25, Riot Games made a series of adjustments targeted at Pantheon to reduce his power in the support role as well as shift him back to solo lane. The dev has reduced mana on his Q and increased damage of W. Moreover, Pantheon also received an additional 10 basic movement speeds.
Those changes made Pantheon more able to move, deal better early-game damage, in return for his safety was slightly reduced. Therefore, some gamers gradually brought Pantheon to the solo lane, even as a jungler. Surprisingly, The Unbreakable Spear was discovered to have an incredibly clearing speed. One League player has demonstrated this by making a video of Pantheon clearing 6 jungle camps in just 1 minute 42 seconds.
How can you farm as fast as the video when you pick Pantheon? The answer is, you will have to master kiting and the aggro mechanic of camps, which help you constantly moving while clearing camps. If you stand still, you will spend a lot of time to clear the first 6 camps. From the very beginning, when you clear Red Buff, gamers need to take notes that the Pantheon shown in the video was constantly moving between basic attacks and pulling the monster gradually towards the Krugs.
The tip to clear Krugs, Birds, and Wolves in the most efficient way with Pantheon is to find a way to pull jungle monsters in the same direction. You absolutely cannot stand in the middle of a camp because your E only blocks damage from one direction. Dragging the monster camps in the same direction helps your E to block the maximum damage and help you save as much HP as possible.
The hardest part of this pick is clearing Gromp and Blue Buff at the same time. To do this, you need to attack the Blue Buff first, then gradually move towards the Gromp and then use Smite on the monster. You need to use E correctly to block the toad’s damage to save your HP. When its aggro bar turns red, move closer to the Gromp direction and use Q – Meteor Spear to finish off both camps.
With the end of the forest circle at the 3 minutes and 12 seconds threshold, you can control Scrabbles very easily because it appears only 3 seconds later. With outstanding health thanks to the jungle equipment providing full life-steal for the champion, Pantheon can easily control this camp and make the opponent unable to compete.
Of course, in order to achieve the jungle speed like in the video, you need to practice a lot to kite and how to eat Gromp, Blue Buff at the same time. When you mastered this skill, it will be extremely simple to compete for targets or to gank early with Pantheon.
