Despite malicious connotations across the land, Thresh is one of the most beloved supports known to man and today, I think I’m onto something.

• If you’re interested in any previous installments, you can find them here
• All champions are chosen at random via Ultimate Bravery
• All champions in this series will be built to a level 20 fantasy but that doesn’t mean you have to be level 20 in order to enjoy most of the core mechanics of the champion
  • Thresh is all about priming your enemies for those around you to go to town. I pity the fool who faces a death sentence from you.

    • Thresh
  • Lore
    • Sadistic and cunning, Thresh is an ambitious and restless spirit of the Shadow Isles. Once the custodian of countless arcane secrets, he was undone by a power greater than life or death, and now sustains himself by tormenting and breaking others with slow, excruciating inventiveness. His victims suffer far beyond their brief mortal coil as Thresh wreaks agony upon their souls, imprisoning them in his unholy lantern to torture for all eternity.

• Goals/Gameplay Mechanics we want to emulate
  • Alley oop
    • We want hooks and follow up and there are rather interesting ways to accomplish that thanks to both combat maneuvers and whips
    • Whips deal low damage but have 15 ft reach and can grapple with Grappling Strike. If your DM Allows, you can probably homebrew it to remove finesse in exchange for allowing just normally weapon grappling.
    • We can use Commander’s Strike to attack with our Whip and then have an ally follow up immediately on our turn
    • Of course besides maneuvers, we also have hold person
  • Grab the Lantern!
    • We can use Maneuvering Attack to allow an ally to move up to half movement on reaction to it without triggering opportunity attacks like a lantern
