Farming
1.2Nautilus
1.6Pantheon
Pantheon edges out Nautilus by 0.5 CS per minute — a moderate farming advantage that adds up to roughly 7 CS over a 15-minute laning phase. This translates to earlier component purchases and slightly faster power spikes for Pantheon.
Damage
470Nautilus
693Pantheon
Pantheon heavily out-damages Nautilus by 222 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Nautilus should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Pantheon's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
9,356Nautilus
10,504Pantheon
Pantheon generates a commanding 1,148 more gold per game than Nautilus. This substantial economic advantage means Pantheon consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game. Nautilus should focus on cost-effective item choices and avoid unnecessary deaths to prevent falling further behind.
Utility
2.8Nautilus
0.9Pantheon
Nautilus brings significantly more crowd control than Pantheon, with 1.9 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Nautilus far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights. Pantheon should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
1,766Nautilus
727Pantheon
Nautilus vastly out-sustains Pantheon, healing and mitigating 1,039 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Nautilus can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Pantheon is forced to recall.
