- You burn your enemies. With DOTs. And debuffs.
How to play
General
- Playing AP Burn Thresh build, your default rush is Liandry's Torment vs. HP, Blackfire Torch vs. squishes. Then get the other item
- Adapt to an enemy team. Are they full of tanks, and they rush tons of Magic Resist? You rush Void Staff as #2 or #3 item to counter MR stacking. Their team has champs with lots of healing? Rush Oblivion Orb as #2 item (upgrade to Morellonomicon as 4th or 5th item).
- Items like Morellonomicon or Oblivon Orb are extra effective with this build, thanks to damage over time effects from Liandry's Torment.
- An enemy team has an extremely strong shielding? You can get Serpent's Fang to counter it. It works with your DoTs, meaning shield reduction lasts longer.
- Somebody is going after you each fight? Always getting ulted by enemy assassins? Rush Zhonya's Hourglass.
- If you are doing well, are ahead and want to have some fun, you can buy The Collector item. It works off your damage over time effects!
Thresh AP Burn specific
- You primarily will be looking to hit Death Sentence (Q). Once you do that, you can (go in), use The Box (R), use Flay (E) and follow that up with auto attacks. Or just do it from the distance, use E, maybe R and a couple of auto attacks.
- You can use Flay (E) during Death Sentence (Q) flight. That's a very cool interaction that will let you do some plays and more damage.
Tips and Tricks
Riot
- 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.
