With Thresh and Sylas both dealing mixed damage, stacking a single stat answers most of it. Thresh carries 620 base health to Sylas’s 600, and 33 armour to 29.

Abscond / Abduct (E) is the ability Thresh has to respect, just as Sylas plays around Death Sentence. The pressure spikes when The Box and Hijack come online together.
The 450-versus-175 attack range gap means Thresh can contest the wave from outside Sylas’s reach. For Sylas, engage timing is the whole answer; without it every auto favours Thresh.
