Track: Thresh's Q — Death Sentence (19–9s cooldown). The hook starts the lantern chain — dodge it and the playbook waits 19 seconds.
Read from Lulu's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Thresh.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lulu | Level 1 is yours as Thresh cannot trade into your Glitterlance yet. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is skill: a landed Death Sentence wins, a dodged one loses for him. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 stays a hook-dodging skill check around his Q cooldown. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 remain even as your poke trades against his hook threat. |
| Level 6 | Thresh | At 6 Thresh spikes: Flay plus The Box plus hook chains through your peel. |
| First item | Thresh | First item favors Thresh with lantern and Flay giving constant pick pressure. |
| Two+ items | Lulu | Into 2+ items Whimsy and Wild Growth deny his hooks, swinging it back to you. |
Level 1 is yours since Thresh has no way to trade into your Glitterlance poke before he has abilities. From level 2 on it becomes a hook-dodging skill check: stand behind minions so Death Sentence catches creeps, and every time his Q is down, step up and punish with Glitterlance plus a Pix auto. Level one is yours before his chain has a follow-up, so take the poke while it lasts. Pix stays attached to your carry all game. Hold the polymorph for the moment the hook lands rather than while it is airborne, and push the wave while the chain is on cooldown.
