Pair with an ADC who has strong waveclear, like Sivir, to hold the lane while you roam. Capitalize on solo experience and Bard's passive to scale effectively. Focus on roaming to impact other lanes once your ADC is in a safe position.

Tip

Use Cosmic Binding [Q] and basic attacks to contest lane. Try to stun enemies with Cosmic Binding [Q] when Thresh uses Dark Passage (W) for a gank or use Tempered Fate [R] to stop them from approaching altogether. If your allied AD champion is targeted by Thresh, try to use Tempered Fate [R] on enemy AD champion and finish Thresh off first.
