Read from Lux's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Thresh.
This is Lux's own plan; across 23,182 pooled games the lane is leaning Thresh.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lux | Your E outranges Thresh's hook and Q cancels his engage. |
| Level 2 | Lux | At level 2 you punish every whiffed Death Sentence. |
| Level 3 | Lux | You keep the range edge as he hunts for a hook through 3. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lux | Q peel and E poke keep you ahead in the poke war 4-5. |
| Level 6 | Lux | Final Spark finishes him and you can dodge his hook engage. |
| First item | Lux | Item burst deletes an exposed Thresh after a missed hook. |
| Two+ items | Lux | He stays low-HP and hook-reliant against your safe range. |
You win the poke war early: Thresh's whole game is landing Death Sentence, and you outrange his hook with E while holding Q to cancel his engage. Every whiffed hook is a long cooldown you punish with a free trade. His entire lane presence is the hook, so stand behind the wave and punish every miss with the zone. Hold the root for the moment the chain has already been spent, and shield your carry the instant it is airborne rather than after it has connected.
