Who Wins
- Pre-6 you win extended trades through E shield and passive damage, but struggle against poke and hooks.
- Post-6 your R provides map pressure, but you lose 2v2 all-ins if Thresh lands good engages on Sivir.
Synergy & Trading
- Stack passive on whoever Thresh hooks, then use Q slow to help Sivir kite backward.
- Use W to devour Sivir when she's in danger, and E to absorb burst damage during extended fights.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam sparingly since Sivir needs protection from hooks and your presence zones Thresh from engaging.
- Best roaming windows are when the wave is frozen near your tower or when enemies recall.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't devour Sivir too early in fights - wait until she's actually in lethal danger as premature saves waste your cooldown.
- Avoid using E shield for minor poke as you need it for real engages from Thresh.
