Game plan for Thresh
Early game
Use a completed control spell to create a short trade, then reset your position. Keep enough health to contest the next wave or objective.
Team fights
Choose between starting a fight and protecting your carry. Hold a control spell for an enemy diver when your back line is vulnerable.
Mistake to avoid
Engaging outside your allies’ reach and spending every control spell at once.
Learn Thresh abilities and prepare your first games. Find builds for each supported role.
Learn the champion’s kit
In the practice tool, cast each ability separately and check its range, targeting and effect. Read the passive before practising a sequence: it can change how attacks and spells work together.
P · Damnation
Thresh can harvest the souls of enemies that die near him, permanently granting him Armor and Ability Power.

Thresh binds an enemy in chains and pulls them toward him. Activating this ability a second time pulls Thresh to the enemy.

A prison of walls that slow and deal damage if broken.
Rank-one cooldown : 120 secondsAbilities: official game data 16.20.1. Descriptions may change with balance updates.
Practice before ranked
First test each spell against a target dummy. Identify the skill you need to escape or survive before spending it offensively. Check alternate forms or empowered casts in the game too. Practise a sequence slowly, then repeat it while moving.
Before you engage
Check the enemy’s control and escape spells, your health and resources, ally position and retreat path. An available ultimate is not by itself a reason to commit.
Review your first games
Review one missed spell, one unnecessary death and one lost objective. Practise the specific mistake before adding complex sequences. Start with the role you intend to play.
Choose your role and build
Compare the build, rune page, skill priority and matchups for your role. Later purchases depend on the enemy team.
These guides explain gameplay basics. Build pages contain the selected patch, role and rank statistics.
