Abilities

Riot's own text for each slot, in the order the champion learns them.

PASSIVE DAMNATION

Thresh can harvest the souls of enemies that die near him, permanently granting him Armor and Ability Power.

1 DEATH SENTENCE

Thresh binds an enemy in chains and pulls them toward him. Activating this ability a second time pulls Thresh to the enemy.

2 DARK PASSAGE

Throws a Lantern to a target location. If an ally collects it Thresh will pull the ally to him.

3 FLAY

Thresh's attacks wind up, dealing more damage the longer he waits between attacks. When activated, Thresh sweeps his chain, knocking all enemies hit in the direction of the blow.

ULTIMATE THE BOX

A prison of walls that slow and deal damage if broken.
