Do

  • Fish the support's walks
  • Flay the carry's spacing wars
  • Lantern the jungler's arrivals

Don't

  • Hook the front body
  • Fish on predictable cooldowns

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1ThreshLevel 1 favours you: your Q hook and Flay threaten a pick while Seraphine has no dash and low base range.
Level 2ThreshLevel 2 is yours: hitting 2 first lets you E-Q her out before she can charge a full-length E root.
Level 3ThreshLevel 3 stays Thresh: your slow-into-hook combo wins any trade she can't escape without Flash.
Levels 4-5ThreshLevels 4-5 favour you: repeated E-Q punishes keep her shoved off the wave and denied note stacks.
Level 6ThreshLevel 6 is yours: The Box cancels her only escape and sets up an all-in her ult can't answer 2v2.
First itemThreshFirst item favours Thresh: hook range plus support-item procs win every extended trade against an escape-less Seraphine.
Two+ itemsThresh2+ items still favours you: your dive tools kill her before Encore-tier scaling ever comes online.

How to beat Seraphine as Thresh: the early game

You own levels 1-2: your hook and Flay outrange her comfort zone and she has no dash to escape a landed Q, so bully her off the wave and set up your ADC for the level-2 all-in before she buys her first component. She is immobile and cannot leave once the chain lands, so pick the moment rather than forcing one. Collect souls in the gaps, hook once her shield has already been spent on her carry, and keep the lantern for the moment her root catches your ADC instead.
