Read from Braum's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Thresh.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even — the lane is decided by who lands engage first. |
| Level 2 | Thresh | Thresh spikes at 2: a hook into Flay can chain a kill before your stun. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is a skill trade hinging on hook accuracy versus your E-block. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay even as both play around cooldowns and positioning. |
| Level 6 | Thresh | At 5-6 Thresh's Box and re-hook control the extended 2v2 fight. |
| First item | Thresh | First item his hook range and lantern peel out-play your fixed-range Q. |
| Two+ items | Braum | Late flips to you — point-click stun and team R beat his skillshot engage. |
The lane opens on skill — it's a duel of who lands their engage first. Thresh spikes at Level 2 where a hook into Flay can chain a kill, so hold your E to block Death Sentence (Q) and body-block hooks aimed at your ADC. When his Q whiffs it's on a long cooldown; that's your window to Q-gap and stun. Levels 1 and 3 are even trades decided by hook accuracy versus your positioning. Whoever lands their engage first wins the exchange, so stand in front of your carry and let the chain hit you instead. Once it has missed, mark him and let your ADC finish the stack. Hold the shield toward the hook line rather than raising it after the fact.
