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. Spread Mini Turrets along the enemy’s route toward you. Place Medicinal Specter beside cover so you can heal safely.
Watch whether Pocket actually teleports to Flying Cloak before following. Stand outside Enchanter’s Satchel’s explosion and wait until Pocket emerges before attacking. Cover Pocket’s route toward your team with Mini Turrets, and keep an opening in Spectral Wall’s placement for your own allies to retreat.
Leave space between allies before Pocket reaches you with Affliction. Fully upgraded Affliction prevents healing. Protect affected teammates from follow-up attacks. Put Spectral Wall between Pocket and the threatened ally without trapping that ally beside them. Medicinal Specter’s healing must wait while the final Affliction upgrade prevents it.
