Items 

Explanation on the items

: Especially vs lane opponents like Riven,Darius,Jax,Irelia,Jayce and any AD with high movement speed which could harrass you

:Especially vs lane opponents like Vladimir,Rumble,Kennen , or if their team composition have much CC

:If you like you could even get this,this item is usefull for most of his skills 

:This item is actually a Core item for this champ, I like it, it give much Hp/Mana regen and AP at same time,is very good for thresh!

:This item is very good Combined with his Q passive,give him at same time crowd control and it helps to land your skills while enemy is slowed , very good

:If your team is really squishy u could get this item,but usually i don't, only in the case im the only who can get a bit tanky in my team.

:This item is very good on Thresh!! Combined with Rod Of Ages give to this champ much survivability and at same time slow-effect while landing a skills,pretty cool

:This item is also very good, but doesn't stack together with  so you must choice beetwen one of these

:If you need some resist during teamfights that's a great options

:If you need to get a bit tanky

:This item is awesome to catch enemy with a bad position,but if your support have already one and he know to play,better don't build this

:If enemy team have high magic resistance or you get feed

:This item is very good in Early/Mid Game but usually in Late game i don't complete it, i sell this one when im almost full build

:If you need some magic resistance and ability power at same time this item is awesome

:If you need some armor or u are getting focused in your team (Usually that happen only if you are feed,a brained team usually focus ur mid or ad carry player)

:Some players get this item in early vs AP top enemy,usually i prefer get Mercury shoes, but if your enemy get feed while lane phase this could be also an option

:This item could be an option for your build too,usually is hard to build this item, thresh top usually need some survivability during early/mid game,but could be a very great option for late game or if you get feed,its not that bad it give much ability power,this item with your final played correctly will just Destroy an enemy.

:I tried out this item just in these days, didn't think it would work that good. Combined with  and  in the same build is just amazing,these items give Thresh a high damage from AP and Auto-hits at same times. If you like instead of this you can build   but i actually think nashor tooth is better for cooldown reduct and better bonus for Thresh as champ!!!

That's all the items which can be usefull for AP Thresh top in my opinion,if you want to comment give me some feedback and try to help out if you like and i missed something :)

Runes 

(You can either choose one of the two Gylph, but at the Top lane it is better to get that extra ability Power)
