Thresh Champion Abilities

Damnation

Thresh does not gain armor per level. Instead, Thresh collects the souls of dead enemies by approaching them or by placing Dark Passage's lantern nearby. Souls permanently grants 1 armor and ability power. Champions and large minions always drop a harvest-able soul. Small minions only sometimes drop a soul. Epic minions drop two souls.

A soul will only drop if the enemy unit dies within 1900 range of Thresh. Souls are visible to allies, and only become visible to enemies if the enemy team has vision of Thresh. Souls disappear if not picked up after 8 seconds. P

Death Sentence

Thresh throws his scythe, dealing 100 / 150 / 200 / 250 / 300 (+90% of ability power) magic damage to the first unit hit and dragging them towards him for 1.5 seconds.

Additionally, he may reactivate the ability to leap to his chained enemy. If Thresh hits a target, Death Sentence's cooldown is reduced by 2 seconds. Q

Dark Passage

Thresh throws out a lantern that shields the first ally from 50 / 70 / 90 / 110 / 130 (+2 per soul collected) damage for 6 seconds. The first ally to click the lantern with be pulled to Thresh. Allies can only receive the shield once per cast.

The lantern collects nearby souls while out. W

Flay

Active: Thresh sweeps his chain in a line, dealing 75 / 120 / 165 / 210 / 255 (+70% of ability power) magic damage to all enemies hit and pushing them in the direction of the swing. Enemies are then slowed by 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40% for 1 second.

Passive: Thresh deals bonus magic damage on each auto attack. The damage is equal to the number of souls he has collected giving 1.7 attack damage per soul plus 90 / 120 / 150 / 180 / 210% of attack damage, depending on length of time since last attack. E

The Box

Creates a prison of walls around Thresh, dealing 250/400/550 (+100% AP) magic damage and slows any champion that collides with a wall by 99% for 2 seconds.

Once a champion collides with a wall, the wall is destroyed.

Any other walls struck by any other enemy champion slow for half the duration. R

Thresh Tips and Tricks

Thresh has strong roaming potential once he purchases and upgrades Boots. Look to roam often after acquiring these Boots to gain an advantage. Bait out dashes or abilities that can dodge your Q to make landing your abilities easier. Place vision around objectives to try and get picks before sieging or taking an objective. A well-placed Q on a target can turn the game in your favor.
