Who Wins
- You win level 2 trades with Thresh engage tools and your superior mobility to kite Nautilus after his initial combo.
- At level 6, you maintain advantage through R saves and repositioning, though Nautilus R becomes more threatening to your positioning.
Synergy & Trading
- Stack E on Kai'Sa through minions when possible, then look for Thresh Q opportunities to commit for E-Q burst trades.
- Use passive to kite backward after trades while maintaining E stacks, forcing them to either commit fully or let you win the extended trade.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Control minion waves by last-hitting with E to build stacks while maintaining favorable positioning near your minions.
- Push for early level 2 advantage, then look to freeze or slow push depending on jungle pressure and recall timings.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never get caught in Nautilus Q range without passive stacks ready or Thresh nearby for R save potential.
- Avoid overcommitting to E stack builds when enemy jungler is missing, as Nautilus follow-up can kill you even with Thresh peel.
