Who Wins
- You lose level 2 all-ins against Nilah+Bard due to their superior burst and CC chain.
- You win level 6 fights if you can stack your passive and avoid Bard's ultimate disruption.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for short trades using Q poke when Thresh lands a hook, then immediately back off.
- Extended trades favor Nilah's sustain and DPS, so commit only when you have full passive stacks.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push for early level 2 advantage then maintain a slow push to deny Nilah farm.
- Avoid hard shoving after level 3 as Bard roams become dangerous and Nilah scales better.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use your W defensively against Bard's Q as it doesn't block the stun portion.
- Getting stunned while your windwall is on cooldown leaves you completely vulnerable to follow-up.
