Thresh vs Xerath

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Control brush to threaten (Q) hooks and deny Xerath's poke angles.
Enable ADC follow-up by holding (Q) and using (E) to punish Xerath's immobility.
Use (W) lantern proactively to protect your ADC from Xerath's poke and (E) stun.

Trading pattern

Hold (Q) to threaten picks and force Xerath to play behind minions.
Use (E) to interrupt (E) stun attempts or punish his positioning.
Deploy (W) lantern early to allow your ADC to safely trade closer against poke.

Danger windows

Respect (E) stun range and avoid overextending without (E) or (W) ready.
Beware (R) ultimate post-level 6 for long-range poke and follow-up damage.
Xerath's poke is strongest when he controls brush and wave state denies your ADC access.

Early game

Win level 2 by landing (Q) and (E) combo to set up ADC trades.
Deny Xerath brush control to limit his poke angles and create engage windows.
Coordinate wave crash with ADC before roaming to maintain lane safety and vision control.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (Q)+(E) combo, enabling strong engage and ADC follow-up.
Level 3 grants (W) lantern for safer trades and extended poke windows.
Level 6 (R) creates all-in threat and peel opportunities around ADC and river control.

Win conditions

Convert brush control and (Q) threat into picks to deny Xerath's ADC positioning.
Use (W) lantern to enable aggressive trades and extend ganks or roams safely.
Set river vision and coordinate with ADC to secure dragon and favorable 2v2 fights.

Tip: For Thresh vs Xerath, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Support lane check.
