Playstyle
Q (Death Sentence) to pull an enemy and open fights is everything. After a hit, recast to fly in and E (Flay) to knock up or push away. W (Dark Passage) lantern to save or join allies is where skill shows. Vision control and hook accuracy are the core of his carry potential.

Champion Tips
Riot officialPlaying as
- Communication is key when making use of Thresh's lantern. Let your teammates know how you like to use it.
- Death Sentence and Flay can be combined in either cast order for powerful combinations.
- Thresh can collect souls without needing to kill units himself. Planning your map position to be near the most deaths will help to maximize soul collection.
