Read from Nami's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Thresh.
This is Nami's own plan; across 26,472 pooled games the lane is leaning Thresh.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Nami | Thresh has no sustain or wave clear, so your Bubble threat wins early. |
| Level 2 | Nami | Your level-2 all-in punishes any missed Death Sentence hook. |
| Level 3 | Nami | You keep out-trading him at 3 before his CC chain is fully online. |
| Levels 4-5 | Thresh | At 4-5 his hook-Flay-Box chain out-CCs your single Bubble. |
| Level 6 | Thresh | His level-6 lockdown and lantern out-engage your one-CC kit. |
| First item | Thresh | His first-item hook and Dark Passage escapes out-pressure you. |
| Two+ items | Nami | Late, you interrupt his single hook engage and out-range his low damage. |
Levels 1-3 are yours. Thresh has no sustain and no wave control, and every trade hinges on his skillshot hook, so stand behind the wave, punish a missed Death Sentence, and take the level-2 all-in when he oversteps for lantern aggro. He has no sustain and no wave control, so every exchange you win compounds. Keep your carry off the hook line, empower his autos in the cooldown gap, and hold the bubble for the moment the chain has already missed rather than spending it while it is airborne.
