Thresh Classic Build 26.22

UnreleasedThresh is not in League Classic and has not been announced for it. The build below is a classic era build, using the items, masteries and runes of that era.

Thresh Item Build

BRUISER LOADOUT · THRESH

Thresh drags one enemy out of position, sweeps the rest aside with his chain, and seals the escape with a prison of slowing walls. Death Sentence pulls him into the catch, while Dark Passage gives a shielded ally a direct dash back to him.

Bruiser Thresh puts Death Sentence first, follows with Flay, and carries Flash plus Ignite for the catch. Phage opens a core that runs through The Bloodthirster, Frozen Mallet, Last Whisper, and Void Staff, while Phantom Dancer or Infinity Edge waits among the situational damage choices.

Bruiser Thresh Build

Bruiser

There is a single Thresh build here, and it is an attack-damage page, which for a champion who normally buys almost nothing is the whole point of reading it. Phage into Frozen Mallet supplies the slow that makes Death Sentence easier to follow, The Bloodthirster covers the sustain a long stint on a wave needs, and Last Whisper answers armor. The Void Staff at the end is the odd slot, since nothing else deals magic damage. Damnation delivers armor and ability power on its own regardless, so the gold going into Mercury's Treads and a Long Sword buys the early game rather than the late one.

Our methodEvery Thresh build here is reviewed by our editors before it ships. When a patch, balance change, or update touches Thresh or the items in these builds, this page is re-reviewed and updated.
