Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Avoid Barrage’s projectiles so Pocket cannot build damage amplification from repeated hero hits. Watch the route of Flying Cloak and keep clear of Enchanter’s Satchel’s exit explosion. Pocket can wait before teleporting to the cloak. While Pocket is targetable, keep Disengaging Sigil for the way back after Flawless Advance brings you close. Use Riposte against an incoming hero attack; trooper fire will not trigger it.

Mid game · Walkers

Watch whether Pocket actually teleports to Flying Cloak before following. Stand outside Enchanter’s Satchel’s explosion and wait until Pocket emerges before attacking. Reach Pocket with Flawless Advance, keeping Disengaging Sigil for the way back to your team.

Late game · Patron

Leave space between allies before Pocket reaches you with Affliction. Fully upgraded Affliction prevents healing. Protect affected teammates from follow-up attacks. Reach Pocket with Flawless Advance, keeping Disengaging Sigil for the way back to your team.
