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, use Fire Scarabs before extending a shooting exchange, and take cover between opportunities to add Djinn’s Marks. Existing marks still damage their target when consumed or expired.

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. Hit Pocket with Fire Scarabs to reduce their damage, then follow with gunfire from cover.

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. Hit Pocket with Fire Scarabs to reduce their damage, then follow with gunfire from cover.
