Pantheon is an aggressive fighter-assassin: after several abilities or attacks, his next ability is empowered. Shield Vault stuns, Aegis Assault makes him invulnerable to the attacks he faces, and Grand Starfall lets him leap to a chosen spot and land with area damage.
When: An enemy is within range.
Shield Vault dashes you onto the target and stuns them, your attacks build up your passive, Comet Spear (thrust or throw) benefits from the empowered version.
When: An enemy is attacking in your direction.
Aegis Assault makes you invulnerable to the attacks you are facing while delivering rapid spear thrusts. Point the shield at the source.
When: You want to surprise your target.
Grand Starfall makes you leap and then land at the chosen spot; follow with Shield Vault and Comet Spear on arrival.
Build up your passive with attacks and abilities to get an empowered ability. Shield Vault stuns: place it for a trade, but keep Aegis Assault to block an important attack.
