How to beat Thresh as Seraphine: the early game

Levels 1-2 are Thresh's: his Death Sentence hook plus Flay is a kill combo and your immobile kit has no dash to escape it. Body-block hooks with the minion wave, poke only when his Q is down, and treat every open-ground step as a chance to get pulled into a full combo, do not give him a free hook. His chain is the only thing that reaches you, so hold position and keep the notes climbing off the wave. Shield your carry the instant the hook is airborne, and hold the root for the beat after it has already missed rather than spending it on chip.
