Who Wins
- Pre-6: Thresh-Nami wins through superior engage range and sustain, as your short range makes you vulnerable to Q hooks while Nami heals their poke.
- Post-6: You gain significant kill pressure with R repositioning to dodge Thresh Q and follow up on Yunara's R laser combos.
Synergy & Trading
- Let Yunara initiate trades with W slow, then use Q for burst damage while weaving autos to stack passive plasma.
- Focus the same target Yunara is hitting to maximize your combined burst potential before retreating.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push for early recalls to get items since you scale well with purchases, but be cautious of overextending due to your short range.
- Let Yunara use Q splash to help with wave clear while you focus on farming safely.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use E aggressively for trades pre-6 as it's your only escape tool against Thresh hooks.
- Avoid fighting in minion waves where Thresh can easily land Q on you while you're CSing.
