Playing as Thresh

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Flay first, hook second

    Open with Flay (E) before Death Sentence (Q): the slow makes the hook much easier to land.

  2. Land charged autos

    In lane, space out your autos: Flay (E) charges them passively, and the longer you wait between two autos, the more damage they deal.

  3. Don't jump on every hook

    Don't recast Death Sentence (Q) on reflex: the target is already being pulled toward you, and jumping on them often exposes you for nothing.

  4. Throw your lantern early

    Throw Dark Passage (W) toward an ally in trouble before they need it: they can click it to come back to you, with a shield.

  5. Place your box after the hook

    Place The Box (R) right after a successful hook: to escape, the target has to break a wall, and the first wall broken slows them and deals full damage.

Playing against Lulu

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her two bolts

    Dodge Glitterlance (Q): two bolts fly out, one from Lulu and one from Pix, and each one damages and heavily slows.

  2. Engage twice

    Engage in two steps: make her use Whimsy (W), then re-engage during its 18-second cooldown.

  3. Focus her if you can reach her

    If you can reach her, focus her in teamfights: Whimsy (W), Help, Pix! (E) and Wild Growth (R) are mostly there to protect her allies.

  4. Back off from her enlarged ally

    When Wild Growth (R) enlarges one of her allies near you, back off: anyone close to them is knocked into the air, then the aura slows them.
