Who Wins
- Pre-6 you have slight advantage through passive follow-up on any engage and your E blocking Aphelios' poke, but must respect Thresh's pick potential.
- Post-6 you lose teamfight initiation power since their combined ultimates offer much higher pick and burst potential.
Synergy & Trading
- Position to bodyblock Thresh hooks while looking for opportunities to Q when he's out of position, then follow with passive stacks.
- Use E to block Aphelios' damage during trades and W to gap close or save Ashe from hooks.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Only roam when Ashe has safe waveclear and vision control, typically after successful backs or when enemies recall.
- Your roams are less impactful than Thresh's, so prioritize staying to protect Ashe from their high pick potential.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E cooldown on minor poke when Thresh Q is available, and avoid getting caught away from Ashe when their ultimates are up.
- Your positioning errors often result in Ashe dying to their superior burst combination.
